Montreal/Quebec City Vacation (1 Viewer)

[northern exposure]

Heading to Montreal and Quebec City in a few weeks for vacation. It will be my wife and I and our two sons (18 and 20).
I have been to Montreal a few times, but my more recent trips have included landing at the airport and travelling outside the city to Mont Tremblant or another destination. When I was in Montreal and stayed there it was usually for the Grand Prix.

Any must see places or restaurants,etc. in either city?

The old port part of Montreal is beautiful. Saint catherine street is also great- lots of shopping, restaurants..etc. The plateau part of town features great French dining- and you can find some great restaurants that are priced well there. Crescent street is a short- but features a lot of nightlife and bars condensed in a tight area. Notre Dame is also a great place to see

I will look back for restaurant reservations in Quebec. I love it there. The falls are totally worth checking out.

Ok Quebec City food:

-La Buche- perfect for brunch, its a sugar shack which is just a thing up there, google it. It's casual, great food and service.

- Chez Rioux & Pettigrew- great place for dinner, lots of seafood, still pretty casual (though isn't everything these days you could be in shorts, sandals and a polo or a suit and feel fine there) I think we ordered damn near the whole menu with our party last time

- Le Projet: a collection of great local craft beer with good high quality bar food, good poutine

- Le Lapin Sauté super cute and quaint, like stepping back in time and the food is very good, more traditional

- Bleu Marine we had an incredible meal here, we let the kitchen just prepare is whatever they wanted with wine paitings, 5 courses I think. We got dishes we have never had before and even at least one totally unique wine that my SIL who has sold wine for 20 years had never had. That said, some of it was very different and the menu is always changing so this is a risk. You might get something too weird.

Love Montreal. One of my favorite cities in North America. I normally stayed at the Opus which is now called Hotel 10 - great location and value for a modern hotel. For dinner Le Mousso is can't miss if you want a top notch dining experience. Lots of great strip clubs as well which may peak the interest of your two boys
