Candide
📍Sud-Ouest Truly a hidden gem. An intimate fine dining resto that serves local Québécoise cuisine. Try the 4-course tasting menu for $47 Pro tip - it’s the former rectory of a Victorian church so you might have a hard time finding the front door! Look at a photo on their website.

Restaurant La Traversée
My new favorite lunch spot. Right on the water with excellent views. You can eat lunch here even if you’re not a guest at the Bota Bota spa sur l’eau The server told us that the spa guests are prioritized first (if it’s full) but there’s almost always space. They don’t take reservations but you can call ahead. You pay an upfront deposit of $50 per person at the front desk.

Plateau Mont-Royal
This is such a cool, hip neighborhood with a ton of trendy cafes and spots to eat. The buildings have a unique charm here. I’d recommend wandering around and stop in wherever piques your interest 🙌 ✅ Drive to the top of the plateau for some great views of the city. ✅There’s also a nice church/cathedral at the top of the hill worth checking out. 📍Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal ✅ Wall murals are scattered around the streets

La Grande Roue de Montréal
📍Old Montréal If you’re looking for panoramic views of the city, then you need to take a ride on La Grande Roue (60 ft high!) It lights up at night which is quite beautiful! 💕 Know Before You Go: -proof of vaccination required to board. For more info, see link below. It is more expensive (over $150 for 2 people), so if it’s not in the budget just enjoy it from the ground view ☺️

Chinatown
One of the most interesting things to do in Montréal, a neighborhood loved by locals + tourists alike. Some essential pit stops for food include: 🍜 Nouilles de Lan Zhou (best cheap eat noodles) 🥟 Kim Fung (dim sum) 🍽 Orange Rouge (trendy Asian fusion restaurant) How to Get There ⬇️ Take the Orange metro line to Place D’Armes (fastest way)
