Montreal

Montreal (French: Montréal) is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec. While Quebec City is the political capital, Montreal is the cultural and economic centre, and the main entry point to the province. With 1.8 million residents in the city (2021), and 4 million in the urban area, Montreal is Canada's second largest city and the largest francophone city in the Americas. That said, the city has a proud tradition of bilingualism, with a large and long-established Anglophone minority, and most Francophones being conversant in English. Old Montreal has a heritage of colonial times. Though a large city, Montreal gives opportunities for outdoor life, and for watching the legendary Mo

  1. EatPoutine restaurantPlateau

    La Banquise

    La Banquise consistently tops locals' lists for best poutine in town (and not just because it's open for post-bar-hopping munch fests when judgment is slightly impaired). Maybe it's because they've been at it since 1968. The clientele is hip and clubworn, the walls and tables are brightly coloured, and the staff is friendly. 25 varieties of poutine make up most of the menu, but if you insist there are hamburgers and other fast-food fare, as well as a bar. Or you can act like a local and grab a beer from the depanneur to enjoy while waiting in the long line.

    24 hours daily · 10-30 CAD · Outdoor seating

  2. EatFrench restaurantSouth West

    Restaurant Joe Beef

    British bistro/pub gone nouveau, featuring roasts, ribs, and seafood accompanied by seasonal produce. If that sounds too heavy, head to the oyster bar in the back.

  3. EatRestaurantPlateau

    Schwartz's

    Famous delicatessen for smoked meat, served up in huge, juicy, peppery slabs. No reservations. Expect to wait for a table at most times, but the queue moves fast. Smoked meat sandwich 16$. A good tip: locals get their sandwiches or smoked meat at the take-away counter to the left of the restaurant entrance. It moves a lot faster, it's a bit cheaper - and you get the exact same sandwich!

    Toqué!

    In 1993, chef Normand Laprise put Montreal cuisine on the map with this landmark restaurant, and after more than 25 years, it's still going strong in a new location. Combining the latest trends in fine dining with local and regional produce, the chefs create spectacularly complex dishes in tiny, but strangely satisfying portions. The house specialty is an eight-course surprise menu, made up of many small dishes. This restaurant will take a bite out of your wallet, but serious foodies will find it worth the cost.
