If you're thinking of extending your stay in Montreal or looking for things to do while you're in town, here are some of our recommendations for things to do and places to eat!

GETTING AROUND THE CITY

The metro is a convenient and easy way to get around Montreal. Running from 5:30 am to 1:00 am (1:30 on Saturdays), the metro stops in convenient locations across Montreal. There are fare options for a single ride, unlimited evening, unlimited weekend, 3 days, or a week. Tickets can be purchased at any metro station.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Mont Royal

For a scenic walk and the best view of the city, take a walk through Mount Royal. There is parking on site or a metro stop close by.


Shopping

Montreal's St. Catherine street provides a wide variety of stores to explore. If you have a car, Carrefour Laval is also great for shopping.


Relaxation

For some selfcare, we recommend Bota Bota, a Scandinavian day spa located on a boat docked in the Old Port of Montreal.


The Old Port

Walk around the Old Port of Montreal and enjoy the water-front views, quaint shops, art galleries, and tourist activities.


La Ronde

Located near the venue, La Ronde is a Six Flags amusement park and is a great option for thrill seekers!


The Biodome

Check out the Biodome, located near La Ronde, to experience five different ecosystems all in one place!


The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History

With a constant rotation of exhibits, both museums are always a favorite place of ours to spend a rainy day.


Basilica Notre-Dame and St. Joseph's Oratory

Visit the Basilica to experience its breath-taking interior and St-Joseph's Oratory for its architecture and view of the city.


Jean Talon Market and Atwater Market

Both markets offer fresh produce and local vendors. Pizza Mia at Atwater Market is a personal favorite for delicious pizza by the slice.

PLACES TO EAT AND DRINK

Schwartz's Deli

For a Montreal classic, check out Schwartz's Deli for a Montreal smoke meat sandwich. We recommend the Cherry Cola and a pickle on the side!


St. Viateur Bagel

Another Montreal staple, you have to get a Montreal style bagel from St. Viateur. The flagship location on rue St.-Viateur O is not a restaurant. This location exclusively sells fresh bagels to take home and is cash only. There is, however, a café location on av Mont-Royal E that serves fresh bagel sandwiches and other treats.


Pizza Mia

Located in the Atwater Market, Pizza Mia offers fresh and unique pizza flavours by the slice and is the perfect place for a quick lunch.


Siciliana

Just off of St. Catherine's street you will find Siciliana, an old-school Italian restaurant offering a vintage vibe and variety of Italian favorites. The lasagna is a must-try!


Satay Brothers

Check out Satay Brothers, located in Griffintown, for delicious Singaporean food and an amazing interior.


Pablo and Suzanne

If you're looking for the best poutine once the wedding celebration is over, look no further than Pablo and Suzanne's. This poutine place has both traditional and unique options and is open 24/7!

Beijing

A Kavanagh staple, Beijing is the Chinese Restaurant of choice. Favorite dishes include the hot and sour soup and peanut butter dumplings.


Wolf & Workman

Check out Wolf & Workman in the Old Port for delicious brunch and bottomless mimosas!


Bar George

Located in Le Mount Stephen hotel, Bar George is a high-end bar/cocktail lounge if you're looking for a special place to start or end your night.


Bar Darling

Bar Darling combines great drinks with a cool-vintage atmosphere. It also serves coffee and snacks during the day.


Vices and Versa

Located on busy St Laurent, Vices and Versa is a relaxed English pub with the perfect patio for enjoying regional craft beers and ciders. With an extensive selection there's definitely something for everyone!


Terrasse St-Ambroise

Known for its delicious apricot beer brewed right in Montreal, this outdoor beer garden is a great place to gather with friends for some food, games, and fun variety of drinks.
