This is probably Montreal's most famous restaurant (along with Schwartz's) and there's a reason why. It's cheap, it's open 24/7 and can serve a ton of people fairly quickly. But before you enter this establishment to try their famous poutines, you…More »

Decent nightclub in Montreal but far from great; It's located right near McGull and the Peel subway stop, which makes it a pretty popular spot. After paying a small cover fee, we proceeded to walk in and noticed that the crowd was actually older than…More »

Fairly standard burger and fries joint with no frills to other. Proceeded to follow my friends and go there for lunch after we drove up from Boston. Don't ask me why exactly we went there but we were famished, it was close and we just went with it.…More »

While this is THE place of choice for many NHL fans to hang out at before heading to a game at the Bell Centre, especially for Boston Bruins fans such as myself, many things cannot be overlooked about the place.

Essentially, it is a place of choice…More »

I have a theory on this very hotel, that if it weren't for it's great location within the city of Montreal, that it would essentially be out of business. Sure, the value is great, especially if you book online - you'll find it hard to get a room for…More »
