1. Schwartz's
Montreal, QC H2W 1X9
Canada
(514) 842-4813
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Cheese Shops
The smoked meat is better than Katz's! I didn't think it was possible. Ordered "fatty," you will never get closer to heaven. It's so soft and salty, and the bread is nice and soft too. For $6.15... wait, 6 bucks??? NY is a killer on the wallet, it's…More »
2. Baguette Doree Ltee (La)
I loved this Porteugese bakery. Every item looked amazing. I bought an egg tart - which was much sweeter than I'm used to, with an amazing crust on it (everything made with dairy in Montreal has been the best). Also, a chorizo bread (won't get a 2nd…More »
3. Au pied de cochon
We came here because M. Wells is one of my favorite restaurants. Their owner was a big chef at PDC, and we wanted to see his roots. Our meal was great, even impeccable, everything a NYT writer would love. But there is great food everywhere, and the…More »
4. Restaurant MA-Am-M Bolduc
Ma-Am-M Buldoc is the place where makeshift meets gourmet. The menu is huge, and looking through the funky thing takes forever to order. The staff was ultra-friendly and helpful, the host was seemingly up for the challenge of English speakers. That…More »
5. Le Comme Chez Soi
I loved being in this restaurant. I loved the open air kitchen, the big bustle of movement, 2 men operating the kitchen for about 50 people in the dining room. The decor is top notch, with dark woods and fun volume in everything. I'd come back here…More »
6. Restaurant Roi D'ontario
Montreal, QC H1W 1T1
Canada
(514) 525-9898
While headed to the biodome, after our initial breakfast option was out of business, we came to the choice between Gerry's and Roi D'Ontario. We almost fell for going to Gerry's, then we realized it was a suburban trap.
On to Roi. It's a total greasy…More »
7. Rotisserie Romados
I love the fries, and the sauce on the chicken was great. The juiciness of the chicken was very good, but couldn't match the splendidity of the sauce. I wouldn't say it's a be-all-end-all or can't miss, but it's definitely a good stop - very popular…More »
8. Café Olimpico
Fantastic iced espresso. I ordered it in the local language: Cold one, for here.
You're on an edgy plane here. The patrons are tres cool.
And here's some insider's knowledge: It's a sports bar.
9. Biodôme de Montréal
Montréal, QC H1V 1B3
Canada
(514) 868-3000
Categories:
Museums,
Botanical Gardens
Better than a zoo because you are pretty much with the animals, though smaller in every aspect except the gift shop. After the wonderment of the rain forest with monkeys, alligators, and some birds flying by you, walking by you, saying hello, it…More »
10. Café Le Dépanneur
I can see how the live music can be a problem talking, but I totally dig the vibe. This is better than anything considered to be like "The Village" should be.
The grilled cheese was surprisingly good, and the coffee was expectedly good. I like…More »
11. Loblaws
Loblaws is a humongous supermarket. My favorite thing I saw was the "No Name" brand - Warhol would love that stuff http://www.flickr.com/...
The quality isn't necessarily great, but it's fun to see supermarkets in another country.More »
12. Patisserie Alati-Caserta
I always reject the popular, but we got the cannoli which I read about here and on chowhound. It was fantastic.
We came after they closed, and probably looked like puppy dogs in the window from the inside. They were nice enough to let us in, and pick…More »
13. St-Viateur Bagel
I liked the other bagel shop marginally better. Not enough to make a difference in stars though. I won't be back, I prefer NY bagels.
14. Fairmount Bagel
This was the bagel shop I liked better than the other one. Although Schwartz's smoked meat I like better than Katz's, NY definitely is my preference in bagel.
15. Caffè Italia
The menu is limited, and that's fine, because I understand it's an Italian coffee shop. And the drink is good and well made, I believe the staff to be trained well. However, our one time experience took the impression that the boys behind the counter…More »
16. Marché Atwater
Montreal, QC H4C 2G3
Canada
(514) 937-2863
Categories:
Grocery,
Farmers Market,
Seafood Markets
I like Jean Talon better because of the abundance of fruit stuff and the neighborhood. The inside stalls are expensive, making what should be casual elitist. Hey, it's not that bad actually. Brothers Satay are not a bad food option, better than the…More »
17. Satay Brothers
Pretty damn good stuff. Probably best hot food in the Atwater market. The dudes there were edgy, which was offsettling and intriguing. I don't want to encourage it, but whatever. Keep it up fellas.
18. Greenspot Restaurant
You can't help but marvel at its legend. Check the old signs and jukeboxes and settle in for this greasy spoon. Montreal has some awesome greasy spoons. I always search for them in any city - you get the heartiest dose of a culture there, without a…More »
19. Paul Patates
Pauley Potato is moderately famous for being the scene of a television show, but I want to talk about their Spruce Beer. The clear, non-alcoholic soda in it's own labeled bottles smells atrocious, and tastes moderately good. It's an experience, and…More »
20. Mosaika
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A9
Canada
(800) 465-1867
This light show was spectacular. It was like a mushroom trip, with all the lights and narration driving us through the history of Canada. The graphics were extremely well done, the pace was great, and we were kept interested for the entire 30…More »
21. Montréal Tower Observatory
Look, I love Montreal, but the view is probably better of the tower from the ground than the ground from the tower. Montreal just isn't the greatest skyline, and is the bank of Montreal really that much of a landmark? Maybe I don't understand the…More »
22. Dragon's Beard Candy
Montréal, QC H2Z 1C1
Canada
(514) 529-4601
Categories:
Desserts,
Candy Stores
First time I've seen these angel hair sweet treats being made anywhere. It was fine, but Chinatown overall, for someone from Queens NY, isn't even endearing. The area is a bit touristy, so I just wanted to get in and get out. I'm glad I went, I won't…More »
23. Cafe Myriade
Great coffee shop. Does everything right, and is equipped for much more, while still being just shy of pretension. I totally dig the vibe: open and efficient. The terrace is a great place to hang out and work on your wifi, caffeinated. I'd come back…More »
24. Leo Le Glacier
Great gelatos and sorbets. I like the friendly shop, and I like the cute minimal seating. The chairs however, are not made for grown men. Everybody is happy when they come here, and still when they leave. Love the flavor.
25. Ripples Crême Glacée Maison
Montreal, QC H2W 1Y2
Canada
(514) 842-1697
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Polished and pretty damn good ice cream. You can't sit anywhere, so try not to drip too much on the sidewalk. The flavors were ultra-satisfying. I'd walk about 2 blocks to come here, and I barely like ice cream.
26. Harrigan's
Great soft serve shop. Hit the spot, baby. When I went there, a few Amish people were there. That was cool. Next time if I'm more hungry, I'll get a poutine too - that's cool to have it in NY.
