1. L'express
The only reservations that were available on Saturday night were at 10pm and we were lucky to get them. When we left 2+ hours later, people were still being seated for dinner!
A very affordable bistro that is really easy to miss if you are not paying…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Mimosa pitchers - while a little pricy at $45 are worth every penny! Freshly squeezed OJ and fruity champagne - we got 2!
The eggs benedict was probably the best I have ever had, the eggs were cooked perfectly - so often they are not.
Our server was…More »
3. Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal
Not sure if the price has gone down, but we only paid $5 pp to enter this magnificent basilica and it is worth every penny. It truly is spectacular.
The tour is 20 minutes, which is the perfect length. Our tour guide was informative and friendly. We…More »
4. McLean's Pub
This was may first stop after arriving in Montreal and it was a great indicator of what a wonderful weekend lay ahead.
We snagged an open table for three as we arrived and ordered one of their 3 liter beer towers. I can't remember what kind of beer we…More »
5. Gibby's Restaurant
A quaint building houses one of Canada's best steak houses. Rural old-world charm. Wooden tables, comfortable plush chairs and dimly-lit dining areas give this restaurant a romantic feel.
Reservations weren't difficult to get on a Sunday night when…More »
6. Le Saint-Sulpice
This place is huge and has the most amazing patio. Unfortunately, we had dinner reservations and couldn't spend much time here.
Stupid us sat at the main bar inside, but we kept seeing people going through the bar and out through a back door. It…More »
7. Resto La Banquise
When in Montreal - je mange poutine!
It's a tourist attraction, so visit for that if nothing else. I'll review it on more than just it's reputation.
First, it's a ways from anywhere. The closest metro stop is a hike away.
There will probably be a line.…More »
8. Les 3 Brasseurs
Cool little rooftop deck on this brewpub chain. The location is good on Rue Saint Denis in the Latin Quarter. Beers were decent.
One thing to bear in mind for the American tourist is that Montreal is very smoke friendly and although they can't smoke…More »
9. Biodôme de Montréal
Montréal, QC H1V 1B3

Botanical Gardens
The biodome is not a zoo, and it's not quite a botanical gardens.
We came this past weekend and found the longest line I have ever seen in my life. There were people everywhere. The line went all the way around the biodome, to the theater, then back…More »
