  • MY 48-HOUR MONTREAL FOOD TOUR

    Posted by

    In November I met up with fellow food blogger, Erin Zimmer, from Serious Eats, who came to Montreal for the weekend to explore the food scene. I took her on my personal foodie tour of Montreal

    Since Erin is serious foodie at heart, I created a special tour of Montreal just for her. It’s a 48-hour gourmet tour of the city, which is ideal for any visitors staying for the weekend. If you have a hearty appetite and a strong stomach — Erin tried everything I suggested — then see if you can eat your way through our epicurean itinerary!

    • Friday evening: Les Cavistes

    • Saturday morning: Olive & Gourmando

    • Saturday afternoon: Schwartz’s

    • Saturday afternoon: St. Viateur Bagels

    • Saturday afternoon: Jean Talon Market

    • Saturday night: Toqué!

    Click on this link for a Google Map showing the location of all these places.

    How about you? What is your favourite ‘must-see’ when you have friends staying for the weekend in Montreal? If you’ve visited Montreal before, what do you recommend?

    • By S Lloyd 10-05-07 at 19:27 PM Excellent list Katerine. I guess mine would need some extra days for Erin. It would go like this:
      -Three tables for fine dining: Toque, XO, La Porte
      -4 choices for Bistro: St-Urbain, La Montée, Bistro Cocagne, Au Pied de Cochon
      -Three choices of varied fares:
      Club Chasse Peche, Raza, Jun I
      -Italian/Greek: Milos, Il Mulino or Primo y Segungo
      -A market: Jean Talon
      -The bagels for sure
      -Shwartz for sure

      			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	This is the view from our hotel room when my cousins and I spent the weekend in Montreal last July. The window looks directly up Avenue McGill College, to McGill campus and the mountain. I lived in Montreal during my time at the university, but this weekend was the first time my three cousins had been to the beautiful city. We spent the entire weekend walking up and down St. Denis, eating La Banquise's poutine in Parc La Fontaine, and napping in Parc Jeanne-Mance. But that first view of the city after our arrival at the hotel was definitely a moment that left my newbie cousins in awe of Montreal.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	Closing party at Eglise St-Edouard			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I was in Montreal last winter (February) just after the death of one of my parents. I really needed to get out of Toronto at that time, to reflect, and to surround myself with new stimuli. It was very cold during the visit, but I spent a lot of time walking around anyway, taking photos, going to galleries, and visiting restaurants with old friends. This shot is on Sherbrooke, just west of the Main. I've posted this before, in a flickr pool called "It can't be more Montreal than this".  I like this image because it looks like it's very cold out, and yet there are people moving about in what I think is one of the country's most charming cities.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I took this photo approximately 45 minutes before our Toronto bound VIA train was to set to leave.  That morning we packed our bags and sought out crepes for breakfast before heading to the station.  I cried while packing because I didn't want to leave - the four days we had spent in the city had been perfect. We decided to take one last stroll while waiting for our train.  We walked out to the street only to discover it was closed off for the Pride Parade!  I took a few minutes to snap some shots of everyone waiting for the parade to begin.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	Parlovr at Notman House			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	The beauty of Montreal is found in the diversity of the people, the historic landmarks, the arts and culture that bring together residents and returning tourists, and surely, the ever-glowing lights.
