Fun Things to do in Montreal

We booked our trip to Montreal and we are staying for 3 nights. Does anyone have any fun activities or good restaurant suggestions while we're there?

Take a walk on Saint Catherine's Street - plenty to do there. The Old Port is always nice also, you can even go on a carriage ride on the town, and check out local street vendors. The night life is also amazing, most of the clubs are on St. Catherine's.

Have fun =)

We just got back from our weekend in Montreal (interview yesterday morning). Neither of us had been to Quebec before, so we arrived Saturday morning for a Monday interview. We stayed at Le Square Phillips, which was a great hotel (but I'm assuming you've got that part taken care of). My one restaurant recommendation would be this little 24-hour diner-type place called La Banquise at 994 Rue Rachel. As the American half of the relationship, it's quite rare for me to get a poutine, and this place makes a super mean poutine--check out their website for a menu of their multitude of poutine varieties. http://www.restolabanquise.com/

As far as other things to see, we went to the Olympic Park for a few hours and rode up the Observation tower to the top--what a view!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

A definite when is Montreal is Schwartz's Deli on St. Laurent Blvd.

They make the very best smoked meat sandwich

Also if you're a hockey fan the tour of the Bell Centre is interesting

as is a walk through Old Montreal and China Town

Good luck on your interview

I loooove to go to the Biodome each year. It's right in downtown Montreal, in the old Olympic complex. Really nice way to spend about half a day. If you like Greek food, I'd recommend hitting up Arahova for some amazing souvlaki and other types of Greek food.

You can find some great information/deals on this site: Tourisme Montreal

Definitely take one of the bus tours out of Dorchester Square on Boulevard Rene-Levesque. That's a great way to see the city. Link

And, ohmygosh, the cuisine. We ate in some of the most amazing restaurants on Rue Peel. *drool* Sorry I can't remember their names, though.

Have fun!
