The BF and I recently took a weekend trip to Montreal purely to enjoy the culinary scene. With so many restaurants in the city, I had a hard time narrowing down our itinerary. I wanted to visit old favourites like Schwartz’s and try classics. Gaining 5 lbs over a weekend, worth it.
These were my top 5 eats from this trip:
- Foie Gras Poutine @ Au Pied de Cochon: 536 Duluth Street East
- Best poutine I’ve ever had
- Plentiful seared foie gras, melted cheese curds and perfect gravy
- Pork Cheek Pate @ Kazu: 1862 St Catherine St W
- Unique style to serve flavourful pork cheek with warm tortillas and great sauce
- T-rex Poutine @ La Banquise: 994 Rue Rachel E
- My favourite way to start a Montreal trip
- Cheesy curds and toppings that spill off the plate
- Brunch @ Le Cartet: 106 McGill St
- Lots of options, rich and lighter fare, great fresh ingredients
- Gift store at front of the restaurant offers gourmet chocolate and foods
- Macarons @ La Maison du Macaron: 705 Rue Sainte-Catherine W
- Convenient kiosk located in Eaton Centre
- Lots of flavours, rich fillings and airy cookie
