Montreal food

We love Montreal. So much good food and drink. Here's a few of our favorites:

FIRST off, we love that LOTS of places are BYOB-only and they'll even give you an ice bucket.
The state-run liquor stores are called SAQ. (there's also SQDC for recreational cannabis)


Fairmount Bagel. Montreal style bagels are a different animal than NY bagels.
Comparisons are tiresome. Just enjoy the difference. 



Kem Coba ice cream


Wilensky's light lunch. C'mon half-sours and a pineapple soda. 


St. Viateur bagel


Smoked meat ("Viande Fumée") poutine and sandwich at Schwartz's


Summer fireworks festival viewed from Sky Bar


Pizza bouquet 


Foie Gras poached eggs at Le Passé Composé 


24/7 poutine at La Banquise


Reuben pizza at Amelias! 


pastries from Mamie Clafoutis


Crepes (and beautiful produce and unpasteurized cheese) at Jean Talon market


if you couldn't score a table at Joe Beef, you can still eat their amazing food at Liverpool House


Cafe Chez Teta has amazing Lebanese food


Atwater market is MTL's Nishiki market.
Amongst all the riches there are a million kinds of ready-to-grill skewers


Foie gras sushi with maple vinegar and peanut butter at Au Pied de Cochon


lolol Nico 


Montreal men love their "cinq a sept" happy hours, so hit the Aigle Noir for an after work beer...


... then, after dinner, hit (gay bar) Le Stud for dancing and drinking and daddies


Bars don't have backrooms, but sauna culture is very open here.
Hit Colonial if you like daddies (before 10pm). GI Joe or Oasis for a 24/7 crowd
.



Sunday piknic électronik dance party (mix gay/straight). Very strict bag inspection on entry.
 LONG lines for Metro tickets as the party ends, so top up your OPUS card before you go.
