Montreal is a very special place for both Antoine and I! It's where we met, where we did most of our dates, and where we're getting married. The vibrant fusion of French and English cultures make it a unique place in North America, and there are things to discover on every corner. Here are some of our favourites.
Montréal est un endroit très spécial pour Antoine et moi ! C'est là qu'on s'est rencontré, qu'on a fait la majorité de nos dates et qu'on va se marier. La fusion vibrante des cultures française et anglaise en fait un endroit unique en Amérique du Nord, et il y a des choses à découvrir à chaque coin de rue. Voici quelques-unes de nos préférées.
This is where Antoine and I first met. The young adults at our church went out for brunch after church, and we ran into each other. I complimented his tie. This British pub serves english breakfasts in the morning and classic pub fare in the evening. They have a pretty good selection of scotch.
A Montreal institution, been around for over one hundred years! Antoine and I have gone on countless dates here. It's pretty tiny, but if less than seven people you're looking for a solid breakfast or lunch it's worth the stop. I recommend the milkshake and the portobello burger.
Our favourite place to stop for coffee in Old Port. Lots of great local products if you're looking for a souvenir. The sandwich wraps and pastries aren't bad either.
Very Amélie Poulin vibes. I've frequented this bar on and off during her time in Montreal. I recommend the red currant cider cocktail.
Antoine's favourite smoked meat joint. He used to live at L'Île-Perrot and this was one of his go-to spots. A bit off the beaten path but worth a stop if you're in the area.
