Situated in the heart of Little Italy, Jean Talon Market is one of the oldest public markets in Montréal. Inaugurated in May 1933, it was first called the Marché du Nord, but in 1983, its name was changed in honour of Jean Talon, the first intendant of New France. Village-like and family-friendly, it’s a place where generations of both merchants and customers have grown up. Jean Talon Market stands out with its many local fruit and vegetable growers, its diversity of small shopkeepers (butchers, bakers, fishmongers, grocers, etc.) and its restaurateurs, who are sure to whet your appetite when you visit.

Make no mistake, this institution is at the top of your Montreal food to-do list. And whatever diet you’ve been on or have wanted to start, it’ll just have to wait another day. On a normal day, there’ll be a lineup outside that’s worth waiting for. Once you’re seated and the waiter comes to you, you want either a smoked meat sandwich or a platter, which is a 1/2 kilo of smoked meat with rye bread and you assemble the sandwiches yourself. The next choice is either lean, medium or fat. Medium is the sensible choice, which the waiter will suggest. But you’re on vacation, so treat yourself to the fatty option. And if you want to complete this Montreal classic properly, get the black cherry soda, pickle and creamy cole slaw. Enjoy!

This Old Montreal restaurant is full of history and anecdotes, and has been serving fresh and simple fish since 1934. One of the few restaurants in Montreal that still serves Dover sole meunière, deboned à la minute, Chez Delmo should be a necessity on any seafood lover's list in Montreal. As an appetizer, we suggest the famous tomato cream, a recipe that's remained unchanged since day 1.

The Montreal Science Center will stun you both inside and out. Its gleaming glass architecture is fitted with staircases that look like chromosomes, and its sprawling complex includes a museum, childcare center and IMAX theater. There’s even more to admire when you step inside. The Montreal Science Center doesn’t just print things on little placards; it transforms entire rooms and wings into interactive activity stations. Kids can stack blocks, use tools, connect wires, play with magnets or join a real assembly line. They can measure themselves against life-sized animal statues and take a walk through underwater domes. If they’re tech-minded, they can use touchscreen computers for virtual lessons and games. The IMAX theater is one of the more recent additions to the museum, but it’s already proving to be quite popular.

There’s something magical about the Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park. Surrounded by water on three sides, it has a kind of wild, rugged beauty that manifests as sandy beaches and gnarled trees leading into hushed forests. It’s the largest park in Montreal, and that probably plays a role in its otherworldly atmosphere. It’s easy to get lost among miles and miles of pinewoods. It’s easy to dive down into the lake and wonder just how deep the water goes. For all of its mystery, however, the Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park is a happy place for visitors. Its hiking trails are kept clean and orderly; its lake is used for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, kite surfing and paddleboarding. It has a “sugar shack” where you can watch maple syrup being made. It even boasts a farm that raises livestock and grows fresh produce, and there’s an adjacent shop where you can buy milk, eggs and veggies that were harvested right next door. To put it another way, you won’t lack for things to do at the park.

Neighbourhoods

Called la main (“main street”) by the locals, Saint Laurent Boulevard runs through the exact center of Montreal. Its location has made it a central hub for the city as far back as the 1600s, and it’s often used as a geographical touchstone for everything surrounding it. Historically, Saint Laurent Boulevard was something of a dividing line between different classes and ethnic groups. The English speakers were on the west; the French speakers were on the east. The immigrant communities straddled the line. Today, Saint Laurent Boulevard is more of a melting pot than a segregated line. You can reach Chinatown, Little Italy and Little Portugal from different points of the road, and there’s a vibrant collection of cultures and languages that includes one of the largest Yiddish-speaking populations in North America. As for the sights, many Montreal attractions can be found along the border of Saint Laurent Boulevard. These range from bars and bistros to movie theaters and art galleries. You can also use the boulevard as a starting point for further travel in every direction, so if you’re planning a trip that encompasses a lot of Montreal’s greatest hits, the boulevard can be your ground zero. It’s on every map, and everyone will know where it is if you have to ask for directions. It’s possible to walk the boulevard in a day, but you probably won’t want to rush it. There’s simply so much to experience along the line that it’s best to take your time. Saint Laurent Boulevard has a rich history that’s completely, utterly unique to Montreal, so it’s a one-of-a-kind landmark in a one-of-a-kind city. Let yourself enjoy it.

The oldest neighborhood in town, Old Montreal is reminiscent of a European town with its centennial buildings, cobbled roads and old world charm. Take a walk along the Old Port’s boardwalk and Rue de la Commune that goes along the water. Saint Paul Street is a charming narrow road lined with boutiques, restaurants and cafés. Grand Notre Dame Cathedral is the neighborhood’s main attraction but many other buildings are not to be missed including Marché Bonsecours, Château Ramezay and Notre Dame du Bonsecours. Standing in line for brunch at Olive & Gourmando is worth it, so is grabbing coffee at Crew, a café housed in a grandiose old bank building along Saint Jacques Street. Hotel William Gray’s rooftop terrace has the best views of the Old Port and dinner at Le Serpent on the west side of Old Montreal is always a hit. Architecture buffs will want to cross the canal to visit Habitat 67, a striking brutalist housing complex built in 1967. The short walk from Old Montreal to the Quartier des spectacles will take you through Chinatown, a small yet colorful area that’s always buzzing with street activities.

On the southwest end of Montreal is quaint and lively Saint-Henri, a neighborhood that has gentrified over the past few years and attracted hip young professionals seeking a vibrant and affordable hood. Historically a blue-collar area of town, Saint-Henri counts many of the city’s hippest restaurants, bars and cafés as its residents these days. Quaint squares and beautifully colorful residential streets abound, as do many Art Deco buildings, including that of Atwater Market. Opened in 1933, the second largest farmers market in Montreal boasts an impressive clock tower and many farmers stalls as well as great food options such as Satay Brothers’ southeast Asian cuisine. The Lachine Canal is one of Saint-Henri’s main attractions. Picnic or take a stroll along the canal or bike east to Old Montreal or west all the way to Lasalle, a 10km ride on a dedicated path. Venture a couple of blocks east of Saint-Henri’s borough limits to go eat and drink natural wines at Le Vin Papillon or indulge in a dessert at Patrice Pâtissier.

Located on the slope of the Mont Royal, Montreal’s iconic mountain, the Plateau Mont-Royal is a trendy neighborhood that encompasses several areas with very different moods. Hike up the mountain for a great view of the city or stay at the bottom and dance to the rhythm of the spontaneous tam-tam gathering every Sunday. Snap a photo of typical Montreal row houses, which are particularly colorful in this neighborhood, or grab dinner at L’Express, a popular French bistro that will make you feel like you’ve just crossed the stoop into Paris. Walk down Saint Denis Street and Mont Royal Avenue for a taste of what this very French quartier has to offer.

A solidly residential neighbourhood found to the southwest of Downtown Montreal, Verdun has quickly become a destination in its own right after the community decided to update its restrictive regulations on alcohol that originally date back to the 1800s. This loosening of attitudes—plus some accomplished know-how in neighbourhood management—has seen rise to a craft brewery, cocktail bars, third-wave cafés and avant-garde restaurants that are all making the neighbourhood increasingly prominent. Now a whole new generation of Montrealers are tucking into a lot of great stuff from both the established and establishing: From the seafood dynamo Chez Boss & fils and elevated Cambodian hotspot Les Street Monkeys to the pastry creators at Sweet Lee’s and cocktail artisans Bar Palco, there’s plenty to try.

The Gay Village, also known simply as ‘The Village’ is filled with some of the city’s liveliest restaurants, bars, and clubs and is decorated with rainbow flags left, right and centre. The compact and vibrant area almost closes down completely to pedestrians in the summer while it hosts the Montreal Pride Festival. It’s one of the largest and proudest gay neighbourhoods in North America and is an absolute gem to visit.

Cote des Neiges: A small sample of modern Montreal, Côte-des-Neiges is the home to residents of more than a hundred different ethnic groups from all over the globe. A casual stroll down the neighbourhood’s main street, Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, shows a library of ethnic food spots – Chinese, Cambodian, Japanese, American, British, Italian, French, Haitian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Middle-Eastern. It has it all. Côte-des-Neiges’ skyline is overtaken by the massive St. Joseph’s Oratory, the largest church in Canada. Oh, and don’t ever forget the home to R.E.A.L. Bagels as well. NDG Always referred to as ‘NDG’, this popular neighbourhood offers good value for being an easy ride to downtown. NDG is decorated with old, brick houses and roads lined with trees that make it an absolute urban gem. NDG’s social hub is Monkland Village, a neighbourhood within a neighbourhood, kind of like Inception. Monkland is glistening with phenomenal restaurants, renowned bars and some of the tastiest coffee shops in Montreal (Cafe Mercanti and Cafe Melk).

My personal favorite Montreal restaurant, Lucille's is located a short 20 minute walk from our unit, Lucille's Oyster Dive has been serving up oysters and seafood classics since 2009. The goal is to provide patrons with the best selection of both east and west coast oysters. According to seasonal availability, the oyster selection changes daily. While the classics include lobster rolls and fish & chips, the Lucille's kitchen changes it up with seafood dishes that keep our patrons coming back. Whether you're looking for a quick bite at the bar, or an evening with friends, the staff has a reputation of making it all seem like home.

A popular roadside attraction and classic diner in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges shaped like a giant orange, serving a distinctively creamy orange juice drink. A casse-croûte dating back to the early 1930s, Gibeau Orange Julep is a popular pitstop for motorists pining for its beverage and a bite of its hot dogs and poutine. Once a popular chain in Montreal, this location is now the only one that remains, with hours that run late into the night during warmer months. Don’t miss Wednesdays from May to August, when antique car aficionados roll up to show off their babies. With the backdrop of the orange globe, it’s a popular destination for Instagrammers.

Côte St-Luc BBQ has been char-broiling birds for a whopping 65 years (and maybe hasn't renovated the restaurant in that time) building a name as one of the city's favourite rotisseries. Order for pick up, delivery or eat in.

Yia Sou translates to “hello” in Greek and you’re sure to be greeted with an authentic Hellenistic dining experience at this classic Greek grill. It’s got an olive tree right in the dining room and an extensive menu. Also, its souvlaki was voted one of the best in the city by CTV. Best of all, huge portions and excellent value for money.
