My Guide to Montreal
See All Lists
1. Wienstein & Gavino's
I have to start this off right - I had the best pizza I have had in North America at Wienstein & Gavino's. It was quattro fromaggi (I believe - four cheese nonetheless) and was one of my most fantastic food experiences ever.
Sitting on the terrace,…More »
2. Old Montreal
Not to be missed is this historic area of Montreal, which if you love old buildings and architecture as much as I do, you will have your camera out and be taking photos non-stop!
Aside from the buildings there are many restuarants with lovely patios,…More »
3. Dany Pizza
On thing you do not go at this location of Chez Dany is challenge the owner by having your friend rant about having the best pizza down the road - next thing you know the owner is cooking you up a special olive oil garlic spinach and mozzerella pizza…More »
4. A Gogo Lounge
This place c ame as a top recommendation from a former Montrealer; I read about it and was a little wary of going to a "retro lounge" but took the plunge and headed there one night.
The decor is actually really neat; it does retro without being corny,…More »
5. Schwartz's
Montreal, QC H2W 1X9
Canada
(514) 842-4813
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Cheese Shops
I'm not much of a meat person, but had to try a smoked meat sandwich in Montreal and I was told this was the place to do so.
Crammed in this little hole in the wall on St Laurent is Schwartz's. Do not be taken aback when you have to share a table with…More »
6. Taverne Crescent
Attracted to Taverne Crescent because of the quasi-patio (note it's not a real patio so no smoking) and big screen location on said quasi-patio which was playing a canucks game me and my travel partner settled on this resturant.
We sat, ordered a beer…More »
7. La Belle Province
Going to Montreal i was told by a former montreal local that I had to go to BP for a poutine. I don't like poutine, but I had to try it there.
A fast food place, this place has all the bad for you foods you may require. I ordered up a plate of poutine…More »
8. Hurley's Irish Pub
I will start by saying there is typically nothing I hate more than an Irish pub, they are always corny, the beer is usually border line terrible, and the decor almost always cheesey.
However, when I saw how full the patio was I had to give Hurley's a…More »
9. Cafe Paris
Jonesing for an Americano and some sort of sweet breakfast pastry, I headed into Cafe Paris, and was immediately on cloud 9 thanks for their vast crepe selection. I was subsequently elated to pick the Nutella and Banana crepe - if you have lived in…More »
10. Musee Des Beaux-Arts De Montreal
Montreal, QC H3G 1J5
Canada
(514) 285-1600
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Museums
I am not a museum person and I don't often pretend to be; however travelling with someone who was interested in looking at art I compromised and agreed to check it out.
Admission is by donation - be generous to keep the arts alive. I was impressed by…More »
11. Les 3 Brasseurs
Without access to a computer to access Yelp, I trusted the advice of the hotel and tried Les 3 Brasseurs for dinner and a couple of drinks.
Although I did not try the beer, which looked exciting with mixes, I was just weary of not liking beer…More »
12. Aéroport International Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau
I've seen more airports than I can likely count, so I am picky and am quickly aggitated by airports which don't make sense.
YUL never made me angry. From the easy transition to ground transport upon arrival, clear signage, and availability of staff in…More »
13. L'Aérobus
L'Aerobus is a cheap and convenient way to get to Downtown Montreal; at $15 it will bring you to a bus depot and smaller shuttles will deliver you to your hotel. I enjoyed an added bonus on my mini-shuttle to my hotel - the driver actually acted as…More »
14. Quality Inn-Downtown
When travelling in North America I will always save cash on hotels for "miscellanious expenses" (cabs, drinks, food).
The Quality Inn Downtown Montreal offers fantastic rates, I think I paid $80 for a double room with king bed and pull out bed. The…More »
15. Balroom Bar
Late at night on a Monday night, you are looking for somewhere fun, kind of casual, where you can go and have a good dance and some drinks.
Enter the balroom.
The promoters at the door were kind enough to let us in ahead of a long line, and had some…More »
16. Limite Canada
Montreal, QC H3B 4G5
Canada
(514) 845-0473
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
As a Quebec chain I hadn't been to as they do not exist in BC, I had to check out this store.
I was happy to easily identify several things I could buy on the spot. The quality is consistent with other low price point shoppes, however their price…More »
17. Sir Winston Churchill Pub
Montreal, QC H3G 2B2
Canada
(514) 288-3814
Categories:
Nightlife,
Canadian (Traditional)
This is a hard rating for me - as an establishment I had no issue with service, the drinks I ordered were strong, it was dead on a Monday night but packed on a tuesday, on the Monday the bar man was actually nice enough to give us good…More »
18. Ville souterraine RESO /Underground City
Perhaps if I had visited in the winter I would have been more impressed.
The underground city is interesting to me as we don't have them in Vancouver, however it is essentially a series of connected malls (and the University of course), and offers…More »
19. Rue Sainte-Catherine
A shopping and restuarant street which largely resembles every other in a Canadian city. Don't be shocked to see the same stores over and over, or the same chains blocks from eachother. However, as a traveller it was a handy reference point and an…More »
20. Le Loft Club
My friend and I were told about this place and warned it had a "younger crowd" - I have been warned "young crowd" can be very young. My friend insisted on trying it (her being several years younger than me I guess she was more okay with that).
We…More »
