Montreal, Quebec is one of the most special places to visit in North America. If you live in the US, especially the Northeast, it is so close while still feeling like a completely different world. Although the average winter day can be -8 degrees Celsius, don’t let the weather deter you! If you want to see the city thriving in the warmer months, come and check out all there is to see and eat.
Poutine is synonymous with Montreal. If you want a classic experience, visit Pierrette Patates in the Verdun neighborhood. This is a place where locals flock to for it’s simple menu and low prices.
If you are looking for a poutine option that also suites vegetarians, go to Smoke’s Poutinerie. Using only local ingredients, this establishment makes poutine accessible for everyone, thank god!
Mount Royal is a beautiful park in the middle of the city. You can just lounge around in the grass or rent a scooter for just a few dollars and ride your way to the top. You can also take a hike up to the top which is also worthwhile. The views of the city are exceptional so do not miss out on this place!
