Vive Montréal!
See All Lists
1. Le Cartet
My two previous visits to Le Cartet during prior visits to Montreal were unsuccessful, as I always seemed to have a knack for arriving just as their kitchen was closing. I was excited to get there at 11am on a weekday to find the kitchen open, but my…More »
2. Resto La Menthe Poivree
This resto is somewhat off the beaten path -- it's not in a particularly touristy neighborhood, and its exterior is so unassuming that you might just miss it if you weren't looking for it. However, La Menthe Poviree is such a neighborhood gem that I…More »
3. Galerie D'art Yves Laroche
Huge space with well-curated exhibitions of urban/pop-surrealist art. Best yet, the people there are really nice -- even if it's obvious that you can't drop $13K on a Blek Le Rat original stencil on canvas. :) The prices on the rest of the pieces are…More »
4. Casse Croute Du Coin
For all the fancy French brunches in in Montreal, this teeny greasy spoon is so far my favorite for a cheap and cheerful brekkie. Better yet, it's even cheaper before 11am. The food arrives in practically nanoseconds, and is perfect hangover fare:…More »
5. Bar & Boeuf
We arrived in Montreal earlier this afternoon, exhausted after a 6 hour drive from Buffalo and really just wanting a good, non-fast-food meal before crashing for the night. After walking around the neighborhood and not finding very many options open…More »
6. Au pied de cochon
The foie gras poutine is worth the visit alone. I love the fact that this place isn't pretentious -- it's egalitarian in the sense that you don't have to be some sort of snobby foodie to enjoy yourself. I was comfortable in jeans and sneakers.…More »
7. Metropolis
Went to 5 shows in a row here for Kinetik Festival, and was impressed by the bouncers, bar staff, and sound system. On every single night, the bouncers were nice and professional (the first time I've ever experienced that in, like... EVER), the…More »

Great for a sweet treat when you're seeing a show across the street at Metropolis. Try the triple chocolate!
9. Vallier
It's been over a year since my last visit to Montreal, and my visit to Vallier. My husband and I were staying in the area again and decided to try it again. This time, we decided to avoid the burgers. I had the duck confit shepherd's pie, which was…More »

Hopped in here for our late lunch because Le Cartet's kitchen was closed. I had the Mac n' Cheese… Read more »
10. Five Guys
Having been raised in Southern California, I realize that it's blasphemous for me to say that I prefer Five Guys over In-n-Out. But, I'm putting it out there: I like Five Guys better. Eek.
Unfortunately, since moving to Toronto from Seattle (where…More »
11. Couche-Tard
Ah, Couche-Tard. Thank you for being open and nearby when I really wanted a rice krispie treat/ice cream bar/beer at 10pm.
12. Boris Bistro
Good food, but the service was a little off; perhaps because it was a busy Saturday night, or because the server was having a bad night. Either way, it was a little off-putting. However, the food was pretty good -- especially the braised duck with…More »
13. Basilic
The Tonkinese chicken soup was the perfect thing on this chilly February afternoon. Clean flavors and chock-full of chicken pieces, though slightly bland. The lunch special is a great value, though the wonton soup and spring roll aren't anything to…More »
14. Camtec Photo
Montreal, QC H2Y 2H4
(514) 842-4818
Categories:
Hobby Shops,
Photography Stores & Services
On a recent trip to Montreal, I realized that I had lost a lens cap and needed a flash diffuser. Camtec was close by to my rental in Vieux Montreal. The guy working there spoke English and was able to get me what I needed, but I can't say he was the…More »
15. Méchant Bœuf Bar & Brasserie
I'll admit that my expectations were low when we walked in. By the time I walked out, though, I was pretty impressed.
I ordered the "Burger Flight," which consisted of three cute little sliders that were accompanied with separate condiments of…More »
16. La Cage Aux Sports
Montréal, QC H2Y 1G6
(514) 288-1115
Categories:
Chicken Wings,
Burgers,
Sandwiches
You know a burger is bad when you take a bite and think to yourself, "Wow. I've had hospital food better than this. In fact, I've had vending machine hamburgers better than this." I'm not exaggerating.
We wanted a quick, simple pub grub meal for our…More »
