Brisket Montreal

Before we went to Montreal, friend of ours already told us about Montreal Smoke meat.
After we arrived, local news paper and tour book all suggested Brisket Montreal restaurant to try their well known smoke meat. Therefore, we were there.

We thought it is a great restaurant. No reservation needed. Big portion. Large variety of food.

Above is the famous smoke meat.

City of Montreal

I thought city of Montreal is really beautiful even in the winter.
You can visit the center of the city without going outside a whole lot.
Many buildings are connected like this one.

Montreal Poutine

Hm….Poutine is one of the dish that you have to try when you are in Montreal.
It’s most likely very unhealthy for you, but worthy to try at least couple of times when you are there.

You can see poutine on the menu almost everywhere, but this poutine above is from Montreal Poutine restaurant, located in Old Montreal.

I think the advantage of this restaurant is they offers larger variety of poutine than other restaurant, but I am sure poutine is going to taste just as well anywhere else.

A plain poutine is french fries with cheese and gravy.
We ordered the poutine with some mushroom and onion topping. Hoping to feel more refreshing and less guilty after we have it.

After I had poutine here, I think my next poutine is going to be from a French restaurant.
Because most French restaurant will be fry the fries in duck fat instead of normal oil.
Hm….can  you imagine the duck fat fried fries? I heard it is absolutely delightful.


Stash Cafe in Montreal

Stash Cafe is a nice, small Polish restaurant located in the center of Old Montreal.
The restaurant seat about 50 people total, so make sure you make your reservation.

There are only 3 different pre fixes for you to choose from.
Either the tradition Polish sample plate, duck or wild boar.

The picture on top is the wild boar.
This is the first time I have cabbage cooked in beet juice.
It is quite tasty.

St. Viateur Bagel in Montreal

Apparently Montreal is famous for bagels.
I didn’t realize this until I was there. Bagels and bakeries are everywhere.
Of course specialty bagel breakfast shop become one the must try place.

St. Viateur is one of the breakfast bagel chain.
Although it is a chain by now, it doesn’t mean the quality is suffering at all.
The bagel is great. I love the Montreal bagels.

Montreal Trip – Egg Spectation

This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurant in Montreal.
Can’t get enough of it. Too bad we found it the last day when we were there.
Highly recommend the Egg Benedict.

Above is my crepes. Just as delicious.

After visited Montreal for about 4 days, I truly enjoy every moment there.
Although the weather is not exactly pleasant in the November, however, the people and the city deal with it well.
People seems happy. And that is what I truly love about Montreal.

I enjoy every meals, even the fast food from food court.
People there are doing their best to make the food actually delicious.

And I think that is what people should do.

After all, that is what we all live for, right?
