North America's most European city, with extraordinary French-Canadian cuisine, the world's finest bagels, cobblestoned Old Montréal, and a cultural vibrancy unlike any other Canadian city.
The restaurant that changed Canadian dining, David McMillan and Frédéric Morin's legendary Little Burgundy institution. Nose-to-tail, deeply indulgent, and unapologetically Québécois.

Montreal's most beloved classic bistro, with steak tartare, duck confit, and creme brulee in a timeless setting. Open until 3am. The quintessential Montréal evening.
The most important bagel in North America, wood-fired, honey-sweetened, hand-rolled Montréal bagels since 1957. Sesame or poppy. Eaten warm, on the spot.
Hodophs insider tipGo at any hour - they bake 24 hours a day. The wood-fired oven is visible from the street. Sesame is the classic; poppy is the purist's choice. Eat them immediately — they're best in the first 20 minutes.
