Montreal


Here's a quick guide to some of the places I found interesting in Montreal when it comes to shopping, eating, and partying. I've included addresses and the corresponding metro stations .

RECORDS

Esoterik
222, Ste-Catherine West
Guy-Concordia

Personal favorite when it comes to imported electronic music.


Atom Heart
364B, Sherbrooke East
Sherbrooke
Small, but very good selection.


Cheap Thrills

2044, Metcalfe
Peel


FOOD

La Colombe
554, Duluth East
French cuisine. Won a award for its design.

Isakaya
3469 Park Avenue
Place-des-Arts
My favorite japanese restaurant. Feels really japanese compared to other japanese restaurants here. Very friendly staff.

La Binerie
367, Mont-Royal East
Mont-Royal

Greasy Canadian breakfasts. Vegetarians beware.


BARS

Laïka
4040, St-Laurent
St-Laurent

Nice place to go out for a drink.

Blizzarts
3956, St-Laurent
St-Laurent

Bar Sherbrooke
290, Ste-Catherine East
Berri-UQAM

Trashy cowboy karaoke bar. Cheap beer. Must see.

Of course there are many other things to see in Montreal, these are only a few suggestions. I didn't include anything as far as where to shop for clothes as there are far too many shop and boutiques. A good place to start would be Les Cours Mont-Royal located at 1550, Metcalfe, where you'll be able to find all the brand names.

Because the Canadian dollar is cheap compared to other currencies, Montreal is a good place to come for vacation.
