1. Wilensky's Light Lunch
Montreal, QC H2T 2M1
(514) 271-0247
Founded in the Mile End in 1932, and in the current spot since 1952, Wilensky's Light Lunch is an institution which lots of us Montrealers are deeply fond of. Most read Mordechai Richler's "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" in high school and…More »
2. Biscuiterie Oscar
Not much I can add to Emeline's lovely review except that I agree, Oscar's is candy-magical. You get a dreamy feeling walking around all that delicate spun sugar, careful crafting, whimsical packaging. Everyone is smiling because they can't help it.…More »
3. Smoke Meat Pete
I love this place. I feel genetically at home here like I was a happy go lucky bilingual blues loving smoked meat sweating biker in another life (or it's possible that describes me now.) I am a sucker for the old wood and wagon wheel lights, the…More »
4. Dante
Montreal, QC H2S 3B3
(514) 271-2057
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Kitchen & Bath,
Hardware Stores
I've always thought they should create a tv show inspired by this space and the stories that must circle through this tiny shop where they sell the highest quality goods for both hunting and cooking.
Guns, crockery, drill bits, and the kinds of…More »
5. The Empress - Cinema V
Writing this review because it needs to be said here on Yelp before the place is wasted and gone: what's happened to the Empress is a travesty. The architecture is unique in the whole country, finished in the 1920's and inspired by King Tut's tomb…More »
6. Marché Milano
Montréal, QC H2S 3C7
(514) 273-8558
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Grocery
Unleash the fireworks and call go on the parade please, it's my One Hundredth Review. I know. I can tell you're as excited as I am, and I appreciate it ;)
I have saved up Milano for a special day, a truly special occasion, and I'm pretty sure the…More »
7. Restaurant Village Grec
Tiny hole in the wall Greek diner full of history on Jean Talon with the best food. The walls along one side are hung with framed pictures of visiting notables including Bill and, a little further along, Hillary. The doners are so moist and…More »
8. Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
(416) 531-4635
I have to say, I loved my stay at the Gladstone Hotel. My workmate was in a room directly over the performance venue in the hotel and the 30 piece afro-cuban orchestra, while awesome, did not make sleep easy for her, but I slept like a baby. I…More »
9. Maskarad
Montreal, QC H2T 2S9
(514) 844-7676
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Maskarad is bigger than it looks, and stocked with girly vintage and vintage-inspired items. The jewelery counter and small section of homewares make Maskarad a good bet for gift-giving (if you are giving gifts to ladies who like vintage jewels,…More »
10. Bagel Etc
There was a period this summer when I was at Bagel about 3 times a week for lunch or breakfast. The Cookie's Burger, grilled cheese, BLT and basic breakfast are my favourites, all delicious, fresh, hearty. Being able to tuck into the tiny booths in…More »
11. Gare centrale - Via Rail
Montréal, QC H3B 4G1
(514) 989-2626
Categories:
Public Transportation,
Train Stations
There is something so nostalgic about taking the train, especially in Canada where so much of our history is bound up with the expansion of railway ties and the possibilities these tracks opened up across our huge spaces.
In Montreal the Gare Central…More »
12. Bistro Des Moulins
Tucked in a heritage building with its terrace perched on a rushing set of streams within the Riviere des Prairies, this Bistro is a mellow, modern gem that remembers 19th century Montreal. Veggies here are market fresh, steaks are grilled on an…More »
13. Boulangerie Cheskie
This is not a French patisserie, don't go here looking for typical buttery Montreal croissants, you can find those elsewhere. Do grab a bag of the fresh little rugalach in chocolate and poppyseed - these are especially awesome little bite-sized…More »
14. Vices et Versa
This is high heaven in my books: long chalkboard list of locally brewed beers, delicious smoked meat sandwiches, big satisfying nacho plates and sausages, sunny wooden tables by the window on St Laurent in Little Italy next to a kids park, leafy…More »
15. Boucherie Capitol
Montréal, QC H2S 2V9
(514) 276-1345
Categories:
Butcher,
Specialty Food,
Grocery
Of all the specialty stores around the fruit and vegetabley glory that is Jean Talon Market, Capitol is maybe the very best in terms of overall usefulness in preparing a snazzy meal. There are some incredible marinated and prepared meats which are…More »
16. Cagibi (Le)
Excellent utterly inexpensive veggie comfort food, order and pay at the counter and the staff will come find you when your eats are ready. Free wifi, low stress place to sit quietly and work, and the walls are a constantly evolving art assemblage…More »
17. Jeans Jeans Jeans
Huge basement location just off St Viateur with a massive selection of jeans for both men and women - local designers, massive brands, smaller imports - generally at 50% off what you'll see them at in downtown stores. The sales people do not work on…More »
18. Queen of the World
The location on Ontario street is closed, which means the location on St Laurent in Little Italy has the owners' full loving attention. The story as I heard it is that they turned down spots at top salons in NY and Paris to open their own place where…More »
19. Boulangerie & Patisserie Motta
Just around a cute corner from the Jean Talon Market, Motta in my opinion is best for taking out prepared dishes to eat back at home on the porch or up the street at the ole picnic hole in Jarry Parc. We like the roast sausages, spicy pizza, chicken…More »
20. Resto Nouveau Systeme
Montreal, QC H2S 1R9
(514) 273-3708
What can I say, I like it greasy. I like the option of bacon and smoked meat on my poutine, and the vintage diner booths that are not ironic, just old. The fries are perfect, the breakfast is huge and under 4 dollars and doesn't come with no fancy…More »
21. La Magie de La Pomme
Red barns and tractors, sunny rolling hills and trees bowed low with fruit, leaves turning apple colored with the fall. There are hundreds of places within a 1hr radius of Montreal to go apple picking, Magie de la Pomme is probably not the best in…More »
