Montreal Dining

My sisters are heading up to Montreal this weekend so I thought I'd share my favorite places to eat in the city up north:

Breakfast: crepes, of course. Chez Cora is the inexpensive yet tasty chain, or if you want to splurge go to Creperie Chez Suzette in Old Montreal, and enjoy the area's quaint cobblestone streets and French-inspired decor
Coffee and a snack: Cafe Presse on Rue St. Catherine - get a croissant or pain au chocolat
Lunch: bistro fare such as Bistro le Republique - get a croque monsieur or baguette sandwich
Dinner: I highly recommend O Noir, the restaurant where you dine entirely in the dark - it is an experience unlike anything else you've had. More expensive but worth it as a "once in a lifetime" dining experience!
Late-night snack: poutine! the quintessential Canadian junk food, essentially french fries covered in gravy and cheese - you can find this at any fast food place or cheap late-night diner all over the city. It wouldn't be a complete Montreal trip without trying it ... "when in Quebec ..."
