Montreal help, vacation

[Hank Jr]

Hi Everyone
I have help a bunch of you guys on fishing the Kawartha's now I could use a little help . My wife wants to visit Montreal in May for a vacation .. We usually go to the beach and have been to Falls a couple times but she saw a show on TV about Montreal and would like to go . Any tips on places to stay or if old town is better then uptown or what to visit would be helpful . I have to stay on her good side so when I ask to go Muskie fishing she lets me LOL . Thanks for the help you can PM me or email me . I know this is a fishing site but its still a couple weeks away yet .

We did four days there in August......on our way we spent the night in a place called Montebello.....stunning hotel.....google them.... Then on to Montreal the next day ......we stayed at the Westin which is pretty close to the old part....easily walked to,the old part from the hotel.......many Great restaurants there....but we treated ourselves to for our friends 50th....at a restaurant owned by ....a guy who has his own cooking show on TV....Chucks day off......the best food I have ever had in my life....if interested I can find out the name of it......... You need to make reservations at least least 30 days in advance.....very pricey also.....my mouth is drooling thinking about it.....even saw Dennis Quaid there!
Also remember ....beer is buck a beer at Costco there......
Cheers

Le Garde Manger....in old Montreal.....that's the name of the restaurant.....the place does not even have a sign or name on it......just an address

Montebello is on 148 I believe and owned by Fairfield. Great place. In Montreal downtown there is the Vieux Bateau, many others as well. many interesting places to visit.

Three things are must do's when you go to Montreal. The first thing is to go to Schwartz's and have a Montreal smoked meat sandwich.

Second go to a jazz bar and enjoy the show.

Thirdly yes go to old town.
It feels like you're in Europe.

Have fun Hank and good luck.

to bring this full circle back to a fishing discussion, i stayed at chateau montebello when i was a kid.. beautiful place, and there's good fishing in the river close to t
he resort. we caught smallmouth bass and the chef
cooked them for us for dinner.
