Weekend in Montreal
See All Lists
1. Jardin Botanique de Montréal
Me: Good morning, admission for two.
Attendant: Oh, you're here to see the butterflies?
Me: What butterflies?
The attendant throws two tickets at me as if she was folding a bad poker hand.
Our last day in Montreal was spent at the Botanical Garden and we…More »
2. Au pied de cochon
Me: Hi, do you have any reservations available tonight?
Hostess: No, sorry.
Me: Do you have anything available for Saturday?
Hostess: Yes, we have 10:30 at the bar.

Breakfast & Brunch
Whenever I read about a restaurant's typical 40 minute wait, it always manages to rain when I decide to go....
We came here for brunch and it was well worth the wait. The place is divided in two: the front has 2 person tables with awesome graffiti on…More »
4. Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal
Will I go to hell for lying to get into a church?
I went to Montreal for Easter Weekend and was walking around Old Montreal on Good Friday. I wanted to go inside the church, but it was closed (it was only open for people praying so I agreed).
It is…More »
5. Sofitel Montreal
I've been a Sofitel fan since staying at their Philadelphia, PA location - it's my barometer to compare other Sofitels/hotels. This location is:
- Centrally located between Mont Royal, St Catherine's (2 blocks away), Crescent Street (3 blocks), and…More »
6. St Joseph's Oratory
My vacation pictures can be categorized into three categories:
- Pictures of Fountains
- Pictures of Statues
- Pictures of Churches
Its almost a Pavlovic response when I'm in a foreign city and I see one of the above (I automatically take my camera out…More »
7. Biosphère, Environment Museum
The people of Montreal must be huge fans of Star Wars to have a replica of the Death Star in the middle of the city.
We went to Montreal for a weekend and came here on a rainy Saturday. It is the Environment Museum on Ile Ste Helene in Parc…More »
8. Philemon Bar
Not a bad place to kill time trying to "fool" our way into dinner reservations at Garde Manger (damn you Chuck Hughes!).
We stopped into this wine bar in Old Montreal for a drink or three. We were early, but you could tell the place was laid back…More »
9. Tim Hortons
I discovered Tim Horton's last year at a rest stop on the way back from Niagara Falls. They had a gluttony special: a warm breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg, and cheese), hash brown, a donut, and a coffee. I immediately fell in love and the rest is…More »
10. Old Montreal Keg Steakhouse and Bar
I've been to countless pubs and they must all order their food from the same food source: always edible, never outstanding (for the most part).
We were walking around Old Montreal and wanted a quick bite (since we had a 10:30pm reservations at Au…More »
