Super reasonable mini fridge item prices. So much so that we cleaned out all of the beer.

The continental breakfast spread was also nice. I particularly enjoyed the fruit salad and thick slices of bread for toast. My beloved enjoyed the yogurt,…More »

The 1-day/24-hour Metro ticket (8$ each) was an incredible deal for us as we zipped back and forth across the city. There were plenty of helpful maps posted everywhere and the directions and lines were clearly posted. I'd have to say that it's one of…More »

Loved it! The view from the top was completely worth the trek through the snow. We kept imagining what it would look like in the Spring, Summer, and Fall and figured that people who lived nearby are completely lucky. We passed by children playing in…More »

I was intending to get us to the And Then There was Light show but through a series of wonderfully fortuitous events, we found ourselves with free front and center tickets to Les Stars Chantent Noel in the Basilica last night. It was fantastic!

Hello, my name is Loli and I believe I have fallen in love with the Burger Bar. It all started one afternoon when my dear lumberjack and I had a lovely time walking through Mont Royal. We mainly stopped for a drink and a quick snack before hopping on…More »

3.0 star rating
  12/21/2011

Stopped in for a late night drink with my guy and promptly lost my ability to hear shortly thereafter. Perhaps I'm getting too old, so I shouldn't fault those who enjoy the peppy music at that decible level. Sorry kids.

Despite the loudness, you can…More »

Montreal, QC H2M 2T6
Canada

Category: Local Flavour

2.0 star rating
  12/21/2011

I think I was expecting too much. I heard it was an underground city. If someone would have just told me it was mostly just an elaborate mall I think I would have had a more realistic idea of what I was walking into.

If I lived here I think I would…More »

Reasonable prices
Super nice people
Excellent main dishes

It's seriously all about the mains. I got a beef and carrot thing on macaroni while my dearest got some sauerkraut thing that was one of the evening's specials. Accompanied by a bottle of red…More »

The good: The food. Hot damn, these people make excellent food!
The bad: I'm getting old and it's starting to show.
The ugly: The music is terrible and I felt it attracted super loud people

In the L'Orignal's defense, we showed up a bit early for our…More »

I can't think of what else you would need from a bus station. It was clean, well marked, and easy to find. The buses arrive inside the actual building so regardless of the weather conditions, you can board and unboard the bus in relative comfort.

4.0 star rating
  12/9/2011 First to Review

We stopped at the closest station fully intending to take the train to Montreal... but then we saw how much it cost. A round-trip ticket aboard the Orleans Express came out to be a much better deal and the free wi-fi sweetened things up.

Dimond District Gems (6)

Nice little spots in this charming Oakland neighborhood.

SF for Adult Relatives (10)

They don't really like walking too much but I still heart them. Here is where I usually take them when they're in town.

No Particular Reason 4 (15)

If Final Fantasy can keep having sequels well then gosh darn, so can I.

Oakland for Tourists (12)

That's right - tourists. You're welcome.

For Tourist Children in San Francisco (6)

I don't have children. On occasion, people lend me theirs and I get to show them around town. Here are some neat child-friendly spots.

Happy times in Quebec (10)

I totally wanted to add the ferry ride and a trip to the waterfall to this list but I chickened out and didn't do either of those. Don't be like me. Do them!

No Particular Reason 3 (17)

A sequel to the previous sequel.

NorCal noteworthy brewpubs (9)

I heart beer. But, beer can leave you hungry. These fabulous spots offer the opportunity to enjoy their their fine brew while consuming more solid nourishment.
