1. Festival Fantasia
This festival is fantastic. World cinema unfurls for a full three weeks every July, and the programming team does a phenomenal job of procuring films that you might never see otherwise. Strange Serbian films, Shaw Brothers classics, Russian…More »
2. Blue Sunshine
Kier-La Janisse and David Bertrand have recently opened Blue Sunshine, which gives Montreal a cool new space to watch weird old films, attend master classes, and see cool art. I just went for a HP Lovecraft master class with director Stuart Gordon…More »
3. Theatre Rialto
This gorgeously restored theater just hosted Jeffrey Combs' one-act Edgar Allen Poe play for two nights as part of Fantasia. What a beautiful place!
They serve drinks at the bar in back at reasonable prices for you to sip while watching plays on…More »

7. Firegrill Restaurant & Bar
This was a decent place to have a birthday dinner. The atmosphere is cool, a nice upscale steakhouse with leather bar stools and comfy booths The rose sangria was good, as was the filet mignon and key lime pie. Nice hot baguettes with good butter,…More »
8. Residence Inn Montreal Downtown
We just stayed here for four nights. Sadly, they no longer have a pool on the roof. If you check out the Trip Advisor reviews, you'll find that some of them mention the smell of mold in some rooms, and other reviews are absolutely stellar.…More »
9. Dundees Deli & Bar & Grill
This place is just okay. I'm sure their location affords them plenty of diners, but they should try a little harder... The food is really salty. Wait staff can be incredibly slow. While staying in the city, I regretted having eaten here and not…More »
