Notre-Dame Basilica is one grand Church right inside Montreal and is something you can't really miss when you visit Montreal. There simply isn't much to see here so I suggest you pay a visit.

I have seen a tons of churches, basilicas, and chapels…More »

Thanks to our local friends in Montreal who led us to this local restaurant and discovered the richest and butteriest French Toast on earth! I never thought French Toast could be so soft and crispy at the same time. It is just the right amount of…More »

Even Alan Richman has good words for this place so I consider this a must-try restaurant in Montreal. Our friends here told us how heavenly it is but also warned us it could be overly rich. We however, went against the advice and ordered a whole…More »

After walking around Old Town in Montreal for a while without impulse buying Indian artifacts or tourist T-shirts, we stumbled into this cute maple syrup specialty shop. Everything in the store is made of or with maple syrup.

I tried the maple leaves…More »

 5. Ben & Florentine

1215 Rue Mansfield
Montréal, QC H3B 4G8
Canada

4.0 star rating
  11/28/2011

Although Ben & Florentine is a chain restaurant, it does not discount its taste and quality of food. The service on the other hand, could be a little spotty even in New York standard.

We came here during busy lunch hour and were seated quite fast…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

4.0 star rating
  11/28/2011

Second Cup really makes me want to go back for seconds. I am wary of chain coffee shops, namely Starbucks. Nevertheless, Second Cup is the exception. It is laid out similarly to Starbucks but it is much more creative and has more variety of food and…More »

Having brunch in Montreal is our last to-do before we headed back to Manhattan. We relied on Yelp to give us guidance and we ended up in La Cantine. It was Sunday afternoon and there was a line although not as terrible as it could get in West Village…More »

4.0 star rating
  12/5/2011

Located on a quiet block in Montreal, Byblos has plenty of local business. We walked into this spacious, family-owned restaurant only to be greeted by friendly host.

Then, the owner himself came out to give us a rundown of the menu with passion and…More »

Canada
(514) 842-4813
5.0 star rating
  12/5/2011

After sampling most of the pastrami sandwiches, I was shocked to taste the smoked meat at Schwartz's because it is actually better than those in New York! I feel a bit defeated since I am a New Yorker.

Schwartz's reminds me of Katz Deli in Manhattan…More »

Petits Gateaux is like the Magnolia Cupcake in New York. Their cupcakes are well decorated and make you want to eat every single one of them! I tried two of them, Chocolate truffle and banana cake. Both have great frosting. The cake however, is moist…More »

Cheap Eats under $10 in East Village (11)

There is no secret Manhattan has one of the highest living cost in the nation and dining out could be financially straining.
