“MONTREAL is not just a good eating town, but an opinionated one, too, with deep roots and a culture all its own. There’s always a debate about where to get the best rotisserie chicken or the most authentic poutine, that classic Québécois belly buster of French fries, gravy and squeaky cheese curds. Or whether to go to St.-Viateur Bagel Shop or Fairmount Bagel Bakery for sesame bagels that are baked in wood-burning ovens and put New York City’s fluffy bread bombs to shame.” Read more here.

I loved the link to this article – thank you! I visit Montreal several times a year – the bistros, smoked meats, tea at St James….Marche Atwater is one of my favorite places anywhere and we always go there for dinner shopping – fortunately my friends have a fabulous cooking kitchen! Another must is Patisserie de Gascogne (both Sherbrooke and Laurier are wonderful). I really enjoy shopping at the small cooking shops – while Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma are full of items, in Montreal, the shopping assistants all seem to have a true passion for cooking and creating. Several to try: La Maison d’Emilie (so many wonderful new kitchen tools and ideas!), Maison La Cornue (purchased a beautiful risotta spoon on my last visit), Les Touilleurs and more.
