Parks & Nature

Mont Royal, a natural beauty located steps from downtown, is a perfect escape from the chaos of Montreal. With kilometres of hiking trails, arguably the best view of the Montreal skyline, and home to Tam-tams on Sunday afternoon, Mont Royal is a must see on any trip to Montreal.

You could say that Parc Lafontaine is a microcosm of Montréal: the eastern half is French, with paths, gardens, and lawns laid out in geometric shapes; the western half is English, with meandering paths and irregularly shaped ponds that follow the natural contours of the land. In summer you can take advantage of bowling greens, tennis courts, an open-air theater (Théâtre de Verdure) where there are free events, and two artificial lakes with paddleboats. In winter one lake becomes a large skating rink

This self-described "hipster eatery" and neighborhood bar invites you to relax and pull up a chair or cozy couch. Simple but intense dishes like truffle-oil popcorn and a grilled cheese mac-and-cheese sandwich (yes, you read that right) are paired with powerful cocktails (try the signature Wu-Tang) to help make this one of the hottest destinations on The Main

Québec is known for poutine—french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy—and La Banquise has been the place for an authentic experience since 1968. This is where everyone goes for poutine, both tourists and locals alike. The menu is extensive, with 28 varieties to choose from in either a regular size or, for ambitious appetites, a large size (also great for sharing). If you've never tried poutine before, you might want to go with "La Classique," but there are tempting innovative options, like "La Taquise," with guacamole, sour cream, and tomatoes, and lots of meaty options

Keep your eyes peeled for the red door: there's no sign above this inconspicuous speakeasy. Once you're past the faux suede curtains, the contemporary design and intricate seating plan will win you over—as will the sake and whiskey selection. The miso edamame hummus with fresh vegetables is good, and it pairs nicely with sake (both filtered and unfiltered). Lines form on weekends, but weeknights aren't too bad.
