Montreal recommendations?

[LC18]

again if weathers is not cooperating you can ice skate at 1001 la gauchetiere the go at place ville marie roof top bar (called enfant terrible if i remember).

It’s called Hiatus now, the bar on top of Place Ville Marie.

Old Montreal is fun and beautiful, not sure if the big Ferris wheel is still open. If not there are plenty places from which you can get a good view of the city.

speaking of that, Mont-Royal lookout gives you one of the best views in the city.

L’oeufrier is a good inexpensive breakfast place.

So I had this and it was amazing!!! I’ll definitely get it again one more time before I head back to Toronto

I truly believe that Toronto delis don't smoke/cure their meat like in Montreal restaurants ( with the exception of Centre Street Deli in Thornhill). Maybe you don't want to order medium fat, you'll end up with a fat ass like mine. Enjoy, Ahri ! ( BTW you have a great ass in your avatar )

Yea the views alone in MTL are absolutely to die for

St-Viateur Bagel Shop

Defining the art of bagel making since 1957 - St-Viateur Bagel

The legendary St-Viateur Bagel Shop is located in a multi-cultural neighborhood in Montréal. It is truly one of Montréal’s landmarks and has been immortalized in numerous paintings, in films and in books.

Get fresh bagels warm from the oven. The store might still be open 24 hours a day. Almost directly across the street is the Arahova Greek restaurant; the souvlaki on a pita is probably still great. Both near the corner of Ave du Parc and St-Viateur Ouest.

I don't know the nearest Metro station, but it's probably on the Orange line, south of Jean Talon, very likely Beaubien:

Laurier is the stop on the Orange line for St Viateur.
@Ahri , You can also indulge in the great bagel controversy by going to Fairmount bagel as well. https://fairmountbagel.com/

If you like food, farmers markets etc, great stuff at both Atwater Market and Jean Talon Market in little Italy. Also obvious old Montreal area.

If you are doing farmer's markets, go Jean Talon over Atwater.

Hi there! Me and my girlfriends are planning a Montreal trip and was wondering if you guys have suggestions for things to do and see.

Most of us has not been to Montreal in quite a long time and two of the girls going has never been there.

please keep your suggestions budget friendly as the girls I am going with just graduated university and don’t have their full time career yet (they also don’t know I work this job on the side )

so far all we have planned is getting some Montreal deli and bagels

Thanks all!

The Mountain for the views - as suggested.
The old port to walk around and its quite pretty.

Most places with lineups aren't worth it - they are usually coasting on their reputations.

You can go through the downtown area and look at street art because we have a ridiculous number of murals.

There are probably more than a handful of bars with free music if you happen to be staying through the weekend.

If you're in the Mile-End neighbourhood for the bagels (Saint-Viateur bagel or Fairmount bagel), you'll already be near a lot of little things to discover. Saint-Viateur and Bernard streets (between Du Parc and Saint-Laurent) are to be discover on foot; little bookshop, friperies and coffee shops.
I love Café Olympico (https://cafeolimpico.com/) for it's old school coffee service and atmosphere. It's the place to be during a World Cup.

The Cardinal Tea room (https://www.thecardinaltea.com/) on Saint-Laurent is a gem.
