Located in the heart of Little Italy, the Jean-Talon Market is one of the oldest public markets in Montréal. When it originally opened in May of 1933, it was named “Marché du Nord” (north-end market) before becoming the Jean-Talon Market, named in honour of the first Intendant of New France. The Jean-Talon Market is known for its numerous local fruit and vegetable vendors as well as the cultural diversity of its shopkeepers. It is one of the largest public markets in North America and its atmosphere is lively in both summer and winter. It’s like a little village, a place where families have gathered and generations have grown, merchants and customers alike. At the Jean-Talon Market, you won’t just find fruits and vegetables, but also flowers, spices, oils, cheese, meat, fish and artisanal bakery goods, in addition to a wide selection of regional products from all over Québec! Not too mention the food - try the savoury french crepes, the fried calamaris or just sit down for coffee and a french pastry.

Excellent, friendly, quality neighbourhood butcher. *Very* reasonable prices, excellent choice and so many great products to drool over. For the adventurous eaters, be sure to order the meats like Bison, Elk and Horse. You will find lots of prepared food as well - wonderful duck rilette, pates, mousses, specialty mustards, oils, sauces and two or three hot dishes of the day. The young guys (and ladies) behind the butcher counter are super professional and attentive, as well as pleasant. Just cool peeps with a wonderful shop.

In 1919, Isadore Shlafman arrived in Canada and opened the first bagel bakery in Montreal. It was called the Montreal Bagel Bakery. It was located at the back of a lane, just off of Saint-Lawrence Boulevard, which was then known as "The Main". This is where Montrealers got their first taste of bagel, rolled by hand and baked in a wood-fired oven. This was the very first bagel bakery in Montreal. In 1949, Grandfather Isadore move from Saint-Lawrence Boulevard over to Fairmount street. He bought a charming little cottage, and proceeded to knock down the back wall of the house, and built his bagel oven right there. He and his family lived upstairs, and when Grandfather Isadore went to work, he went downstairs and baked the bagel right there in his house. His son, Jack, learned the art of baking bagel and joined the business. They continued the tradition of rolling their bagel by hand, and baking them in their wood fired oven's. Since they were now located on Fairmount street, they renamed the bakery "The Original Fairmount Bagel Bakery". Today, the family continues to make their bagel using the same traditions and methods that Grandfather Isadore brought to us from the old country. All the bagel are still rolled by hand, and are baked in our old fashioned wood burning ovens. New bagel are introduced only once the texture and consistency would meet Grandfather Isadore's standards. His grandchildren still manage the business today. Please note that this is not a restaurant, but a bakey. There is no space to sit and eat your bagel. You simply line-up (there is always a line, 24-hours a day), order your choices, pay in CASH, and leave.

This is a Montreal institution, having been in the Old Port for 25 years was started by two McGill University friends from the west coast in an abandoned 12 seat diner in the bowels of a warehouse building in a rather vacant Old Montreal. Titanic has grown into a 70 seat restaurant known their for great home cooked food. Wonderful place to pass by and have lunch in the Old Port - be sure to say hi from Leo and Emmanuel to the owners if you drop in for lunch ! The neighbourhood and the kitchen have both grown exponentially but the food has remained true to the original concept of mom-inspired home-style classics, big sandwiches and vegetarian antipasto. Every day there are different soups, a hot meal and desserts on the blackboard. Besides the food, the kaleidoscope of characters who work there have always been an integral part of the Titanic experience. Like culturally diverse Montréal, the staff all have creative backgrounds and have come from all corners of the world;many of them are pictured in photo-portraits gracing the walls. Many know Titanic as their local lunch spot but the restaurant is equally well known as a caterer for office lunches and parties. Rob and Patrick are the best caterers in town. If you need food for a dinner, call them - it arrives in a large blue box, like the titanic. Be sure to tell them you are staying in Leo's home.

This pork-centric Quebecois cuisine has a retro-industrial decor and heated patio. All of the fixtures are from pig barns (really cool), the boxes at the windows are pig troughs. The food is wonderful … definitely a meat-lovers paradise. The name translates to 'The home of my lovely fat pig of a girlfriend' - I swear, I am not making this up !

It is an excellent French bistro restaurant that has a wonderful menu. The food is varied and very good. It is attached a wonderful event space called Lion D'Or. Many events are open to the public (tickets at the door), you can see musicians jamming together, stage performances. It is a 100 year old cabaret style theatre. I have produced several events there myself and can tell you it is the best theatre space in town because of it's intimacy.

Named after La Bolduc (whose real name was Mary Rose Anna Travers), but was also known as Madame Bolduc, was a Canadian singer, born on June 4, 1894 in Newport (Gaspésie), Québec. During the peak of her popularity in the 1930s, she was known as the Queen of Canadian Folksingers. There is a Canadian Heritage Commercial featuring her ... she went on to sing for Princes and Presidents, but to her fans she would always be La Bolduc: https://www.historicacanada.ca/content/heritage-minutes/la-bolduc This wildly decorated place is primarily a small family neighborhood restaurant that opened its doors in the plateau in 1972, over the years its reputation has grown to be known to all Montrealers. Regulars satisfy their hunger during the week and new Bolduciens discover our menu this weekend. Maamm Bolduc is part of Montreal’s rich heritage. In the summer, you probably might encounter on their terrace old acquaintances or celebrities.

From Poland to Montreal! When he arrived in Canada in 1953, St-Viateur Bagel Shop founder Myer Lewkowicz didn’t know the first thing about baking anything, let alone bagels. He had grown up in a large, poor family in a Jewish village, or shtetl, near Krakow, Poland. Lewkowicz knew about not having enough to eat. In 1942, he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. Years later, while speaking to a high school class, Lewkowicz said, “At Buchenwald, all I dreamt of was a piece of bread.” Lewkowicz lived and worked in Germany after the war until 1952, when he was discovered by Jewish Immigration Aid Services of Canada. JIAS sent him to Montreal, where he got a job at Hyman Seligman’s Montreal Bagel Bakery on St-Laurent. Working with Seligman and his partners, Lewkowicz learned the bagel trade and 1957 he set up his own shop with Hyman Seligman on St-Viateur street with his wife Emma by his side. Joe Morena was only fifteen when he started work at the Bagel Shop. He knew Myer Lewkowicz from delivering milk to his house on the weekend. Morena’s cousin worked around the corner from the bagel shop and convinced him to apply. Lewkowicz said, “Hey Yosel!”—the Yiddish name for Joe—and hired him to start that night. Serving so many older Jewish customers, Morena even learned to speak Yiddish. In 1974, after taking a short hiatus, he returned to the bagel business and became part owner of the business with Lewkowicz. The two worked as partners until Lewkowicz’s death in 1994, after which Joe Morena and Marco Sbalno partnered up to continue the tradition. By 1998, Joe Morena estimated that he’d personally made some 25 million bagels! The Bagel Shop has been visited by thousands of customers—from native Montrealers to international tourists. The list of repeat customers includes local celebrities like Leonard Cohen, Georges St-Pierre, Roberto Luongo, Mordecai Richler, William Shatner and Céline Dion, as well as famous out-of-towners like Kelly Ripa, Harvey Keitel, James Woods and Adrian Grenier from Entourage. Check out there many locations, but know that you need to see the original too !

The ambiance is really nice on the terrasse. Great food - a little pricey, But overall, a really cool spot in the Village for a night out. You can bring-your-own-wine, which helps with the price. And it's right under the romantic Village decorations... great for people-watching and a stroll afterwards.

This izakaya, or japanese brasserie, is quite the hot spot on the Main for alternative late night eats. You won’t find any sushi here, but rather lots of classic Japanese dishes and recipes like tataki, gyoza and ramen soup, along with more Western inspirations. The interiors were done by renowned Montreal designer Cabinet Braun-Braën, which means the space is rather eclectic with a definite urban edge. Enjoy a fine sake and try the Crispy Pork, you won’t regret it.

It’s hard to miss this Plateau landmark with its bright, multi-coloured exterior, and it’s even harder to ignore Patati Patata’s delicious food and friendly vibe. Since 1996, this cozy diner has been serving up standout poutines and their signature burgers to the delight of many Montrealers. The staff is super chill, and the value for money is hard to beat, but expect a wait as there’s limited seating and it’s just that good. You can always ask for it to go and it in the park across the street on rue Rachel. Wondeful breakfast

In a city so enamored with eating breakfast late (or lunch early depending on you look at it), Sparrow is another popular establishment well-known for its brilliant brunches. Designed to look like a British pub, the menu is loaded with classic comfort food served on old-school china. While brunch is nothing new, Sparrow does offer a unique concept. For $18 flat, you get an all-you-can-eat 3-course meal. Just don’t be alarmed to find a few hipsters running around while you eat.

These same young minds, specifically those striving to become chefs or excel in the service industry are at the helm of the two Institute restaurants. The Salle Paul-Émile-Lévesque is the ITHQ’s teaching restaurant where students prepare and serve their creations as part of their curriculum under their teachers’ supervision. A 2-course table d’hôte menu will run you anywhere from $10.50 to $15.50, perfect for a casual lunch. The more sophisticated Restaurant de l’Institut is a fully functional 60-seat restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a beautiful space overlooking St-Denis

Walking by Le Passé Composé you might be slightly envious of the many brunch-goers waiting for a table at this charming Plateau eatery. Le Passé Composé is as classy (with lots of cutesy, too) French Bistro located in the Plateau. A brief look over the menu will demonstrate the sheer class that is Le Passé Composé. Homemade gnocci, pancetta chips, duck confit eggs Benedict, prosciutto grilled cheese, and so much more make up the ritzy yet delicious dishes available at Le Passé Composé.

Located in downtown Montreal, the Pullman is essentially devoted to the sinful pleasures of wine. Enjoy the noble libation with varieties of cheese, charcuteries or small plates, in a relaxed atmosphere and a decor combining sophistication with a hint of eccentricity. Doors open during the later hours of the afternoon to close at the very end of the evening, welcoming guests for an aperitif among friends or a gourmet degustation. Audacious and well-traveled, the wine list offers a selection of more than 450 wines, of which 50 are served by the glass. Dishes are presented in small portions that lend themselves to convivial sharing, while complementing selected wines. Our sommeliers gladly offer their expert opinion in pairing entries from our wine list and menu. Try the mini bison burgers - tiny, juicy bites of perfection and the fries are tiny cones of crispy, buttery goodness. Or perhaps duck cavatelli, charcuterie plate, venison tartare, olives with candied lemon, and finished with the cinnamon churros and chocolate dipping sauce. The space, designed by Cabinet Braun-Braën, accommodates 150 guests over three floors, each of which may be reserved for private or corporate events.

So hot and yet so cool—the Plateau moves to its own funky beat. Wrought-iron staircases, old-style stone masonry, walk-up duplexes, imported cars, second-hand bicycles, designer fashion boutiques and funky friperies (used clothing) stores: this working-class-turned-yuppie neighbourhood with bohemian undercurrents is by far the grooviest scene in Montréal. Those of us who don’t live here come to play as often as possible. The Plateau is the best window to view the real Montréal. Here you’ll find a predominantly francophone community (many from France) featuring an eclectic mix of artists, students, yuppies, and young families, spiced with a healthy dose of other cultures and languages to raise the diversity quotient that much higher. Round it off with a wealth of interesting shops, cafés, pubs and bars, not to forget black-box theatres, art galleries and gourmet shops, and you’ve got a free-spirited, creative atmosphere where all walks of life converge. We live and play in the eastern shadow of Mount Royal. The edgy urban vitality of our dynamic commercial arteries—such as Saint-Laurent Boulevard or “the Main”, where Montréal’s ethnic communities first set up shop, Saint-Denis Street with its designer boutiques and cafés, Prince-Arthur Street’s BYOW terraces and restaurants, and Mont-Royal Avenue’s trendy hotspots—is balanced by the tranquility and fresh air afforded by luxurious green spaces such as Parc La Fontaine. The Plateau by night heats up with as many choices of clubs, bars and cafés as you could think of, ranging from fashionable martini lounges to local microbrewery pubs to high-octane coffee shops. Throw in a thriving arts scene where local artists take to the stage nightly, and you’ve got the makings for a perfect night on the town.

Parks & Nature

Lafontaine Park is Plateau Mont-Royal’s biggest park. A 40-hectare gem of traditional park landscaping, it includes two linked ponds with a fountain and waterfalls, soccer and baseball fields, beach volleyball, pétanque, a dog park, picnic areas and playgrounds, wading pools, several pieces of memorial statuary and many trees including numerous imposingly huge poplars. The park's Centre culturel Calixa-Lavallée is the site of Art neuf, a school of the arts. The open-air Théâtre de Verdure that offered a summertime program for many years has been closed for two summers awaiting work, but is now expected to reopen in time for summer 2017 and the city’s 375th anniversary. A bike path runs along the park’s western edge, and on the north side if Rachel Street's path. The park is a crossroads of cycling in this part of town, with the Maison des cyclistes, well positioned at the axis of two major bike paths, just outside the park at the corner of Rachel and Brébeuf. The park has a lot of squirrels, including occasional pale champagne quasi-albino ones, but it’s so much a true city park that there are no semi-wild forested areas left and thus no space for bigger wildlife.

The jewel of Montreal’s city parks is, without question, Mount Royal. This 200-hectare park occupies part of the mountain that lies in the midst of Montreal island, and includes the highest spot in the city. Designed by the same architect who designed Central Park in NYC - Frederick Olmstead. The lookout facing over downtown towards the river was first built in 1906 and is now officially known as the Belvédère Kondiaronk, named for the Huron chief who signed a major peace accord with the French regime in 1701. A second lookout, a famous trysting spot, faces eastward toward the Olympic Stadium. Royal shares the top of the mountain with several cemeteries: a huge Roman Catholic one, a large nondenominational one, and two quite small contiguous Jewish ones. Although not properly speaking parks, the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges and Mount Royal Cemetery can be pleasant places to stroll. Mount Royal Cemetery is especially pretty in May when flowering trees are in season, and again in the autumn.

Maisonneuve Park is a rolling 63-hectare piece of green space in east-end Montreal. The simple greenery of the park is a welcome contrast to the intensively landscaped Botanical Garden and the concrete complexity of the Olympic park, both of which adjoin it. Maisonneuve Park is essentially an open space with nicely groomed lawns and clumps of trees, crossed north-south by a major bike path and crossed here and there by footpaths. Why not pick up a Bixi bike and ride on over, along rue Rachel, which leads directly to the park. This bike path is found two streets north of our home when it crosses rue de Bordeaux. Perhaps pack a lunch, as there is only one place to eat there.

If you are up for a hike, walk up Mount Royal to Beaver Lake to reach the top of one of the two mountains located in the heart of Montreal. Remember, they are very old mountains, so they are really large hills. 12 kilometres up and back

This is where the 1976 Olympics were held. Nadia Comaneci scored perfect 6.0 in her gymnastic routines and Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) was declared Athlete of the Century, having won the decathalon. You will also find the Planetarium, the Insectarium and the Bio-Sphere, which houses four specific Canadian climates (and live animals)

If you want to see where the rich people live, here is the place for you. Drive along the winding streets that rise to the top of Mont Royal - and the Circle to see the mansions. Alternatively, take a taxi to the top and walk down. The views are spectacular, not mention the houses too - some of the finest architecture old and and new in Montreal.

Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine on Westmount Summit in Montreal, Quebec. It is Canada's largest church. Father Andre is said to grant miracles to anyone who climbs their immense staircase to the Oratory on their knees. At the top you will find thousands of crutches of those who have been healed by his power.

Montreal's Gay Village (The Village, French, Le Village gai or simply Le Village) is located on Saint Catherine Street East, centred on the Beaudry Metro station, and on Amherst Street in the Ville-Marie borough of the city. The Village runs approximately from St-Hubert Street to De Lorimier Street on Saint Catherine Street, and between Sherbrooke Street and René Lévesque Boulevard on Amherst Street, a distance of nearly two kilometres, making it the largest in North America in terms of scope of the complete area. From June to September the main drag, Sainte-Catherine Street, is closed to vehicles. Out-of-towners and native Montréalers alike leisurely stroll along the strip to shop, dine al fresco or just relax in the sun with a beer. The street has fashion and specialty boutiques, restaurants representing all major types of cuisine and a variety of bars. Throughout the summer, artists display their work, LGBT community groups set up information booths and local shops offer great things to buy. And it’s where Pride Montréal, weeklong celebrations, unfolds. Formerly a poor working-class neighbourhood, part of the Centre-Sud area of the city, the area was occupied by the gay and lesbian community after the huge expulsion of many gay businesses from an area closer to Saint Lawrence Boulevard (or "The Main" as the locals call it). The area has been considerably gentrified, due in part to recent investment from the various levels of all governments. Indeed, despite repression as late as the early 1990s, recent government support of "Le Village" has been significant. All three levels of government are aggressively promoting the Village and gay life in Montreal as a tourist attraction. In recognition of the Village's importance to the city, Montreal's Ville-Marie borough that includes the Village recently hung a rainbow flag in its council chambers, and redecorated the entrance to the Beaudry Metro station found in the heart of the Gay Village with rainbow pillars. The Village is specifically marked on official city maps as "Le Village". There are many wonderful bars, restaurants and terraces in the village. You can see Montreal's famous drag queen, Mado Lamotte perform most evenings in her self-titled club along Ste-Catherine est. Also Le Aigle Noir and Le Stud for darker men only moments. Lots of baths and saunas too.
