Experiencing the French Culture Without Traveling to France
See All Lists
1. Marché Jean-Talon
I heart Farmer's Markets and when I read there was one in Montreal, I decided to add it to my list of things to see. We took the Metro to the Jean-Talon stop and when you exit, you want to make sure you head towards St. Denis Street or if you see the…More »
2. Resto La Banquise
Based on Yelp Talk forums, this is the place for some poutine. The best time to come is for dinner or late evening so that what we did. We headed here around 8:30PM and didn't have to wait long to get a booth.
The place was playing some French hip hop…More »
3. Ville souterraine RESO /Underground City
Perfect day to check out the Underground City since it was wet and rainy. I had planned to walk the entire thing, but halfway into it, I was getting bored so we ended up leaving and walked around Chinatown instead.
The place is filled with lots of…More »
4. Stade Olympique
Montréal, QC H1V 3G5
Canada
(514) 252-4141
Categories:
Local Flavour,
Venues & Event Spaces
Hopped on the subway to head over to check out the Olympic Stadium that was built for the 1976 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, today was cloudy and rainy so it wasn't worth the money to head to the tower to get a view of Montreal, but we walked…More »
5. Cremerie Meu Meu
Montreal, QC H2J 2L1
Canada
(514) 288-5889
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
The salted caramel was my ice cream of choice and it was delightfully soft and creamy and subtly sweet caramel tasting with that hint of salt. Service was friendly and patient (in letting us try different flavors). Nowhere to sit and lick your ice…More »
6. Screme Gelato Bar
New York, NY 10023
(212) 362-2111
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Upper West Side
Headed in here on a hot day...craving something cool and refreshing to cool me down. It's a small place that has no chairs or tables so you just enter, order and then head on out.
I ordered a small ($5) lime (?) gelato which was very tart. Originally,…More »
7. Schwartz's
Montreal, QC H2W 1X9
Canada
(514) 842-4813
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Cheese Shops
On researching what/where to eat at in Montreal, the one constant place everyone told me to check out was Schwartz's so I knew that was going to be the first place I was going to grab some grub.
We arrived around 1PM and there was a short line…More »
8. Rue Sainte-Catherine
I was told that St. Catherine St was the place to go for shopping so I headed down here to see what type of shopping Montreal had to offer. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in what I saw. There were the usual State stores such as H&M, Forever 21 and…More »
9. Restaurant Amir
It was recommended to check out this place for some fast food Mediterranean food so we headed in here for lunch. Like any fast food place it's a chain and apparently some locations are 24hrs.
The menu is all in French but there are pictures so I don't…More »
10. La Crêperie Bretonne Le Triskell
Montréal, QC H2X 3L3
Canada
(514) 281-1012
Categories:
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Another recommendation to check out so we headed here for dinner. Here's what was ordered:
-French Onion soup ($6.75): came out piping hot and integrated with tons of cheese and pieces of bread (vs traditional croutons). The beef broth was salty (as…More »
11. Cafe Depot
Montreal, QC H2X 2V5
Canada
(514) 285-0009
Originally I wanted to check out Juliette et Chocolate, but after checking out their desserts, I was more in the mood for a laid back place with laid back desserts. So I headed across the street to Cafe Depot where a live 2 person band was enticing…More »
12. Parc du Mont-Royal
This is such a large park and not only does it offer green grass for picnickers, dog walkers and sun worshipers, it also provides terrain for those who want a hike, run or bike ride.
We decided to walk the park and didn't really plan on walking to the…More »
13. McGill University
I've never heard of McGill University, but apparently it is a well known and well regarding University. Since we were staying close by and had just walked the Mont Royal park, we decided to walk around the University.
I'm glad I did because the…More »
14. Les Deux Gamins
Came here because the original place I wanted to dine at is closed for remodeling so I logged onto Yelp and decided to try this place since it's walking distance from where I'm staying.
Prince Arthur Street is a quaint little street to grub on or to…More »
15. Muru Crepe
Disappointed by my first crepe experience in Montreal, I still wanted a crepe! Yelp, once again, came to my rescue and I found Crepe Cafe to go to after checking out the Notre Dame cathedral. It's a small, well decorated place that was able to…More »
16. Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal
A beautiful church that you have to check out during your stay in Montreal. We paid the $5 (adult) admission to go inside and really enjoyed walking around, taking a bunch of pictures and listening to the complimentary English informational tour that…More »
17. Old Montreal
On a nice day, you should head down to Old Montreal and walk on the cobblestoned streets. It's a great place for pictures, for souvenir shopping, for eating and for just people watching.
When you're done with this area, head over to the Old Port area…More »
18. BIXI
Lachine, QC H8T 3J1
Canada
(877) 820-2453
Categories:
Active Life,
Public Transportation
I love cities that have public bikes for rent, i.e. Himeji, Japan and Copenhagen, Denmark. The convenience of having this is a great benefit, no matter if you have a car or not. It's especially fun as a tourist to bike in a foreign city and get to…More »
19. Rotisserie St Hubert
Was taken here for dinner. It's a Montreal chain, family-type of retaurant but it's a good place for a low-key dinners with friends as well. The outside was already crowded for those who wanted to take in the music from the French music…More »
