About Montreal
City overview
Montréal sits on the Island of Montréal beside the St Lawrence River and Mount Royal, with Vieux-Montréal, Plateau Mont-Royal, Mile End, Outremont, Le Village, Little Italy, and Quartier des Spectacles linking French-speaking street life, festivals, food counters, churches, markets, parks, and metro stations. The city works best when Notre-Dame Basilica, Old Port, Mont Royal, Schwartz's Deli, Jean-Talon Market, and Place des Arts are treated as neighborhood anchors.
Food & drink
Montréal food is Jewish deli, Quebecois comfort, and market-driven: St-Viateur and Fairmount bagels are boiled in honeyed water and baked in wood-fired ovens, smoked meat stacks peppery brisket on rye, poutine covers fries with curds and gravy, and tourtiere wraps spiced meat in pie crust. Jean-Talon Market, Atwater Market, Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Mile End bakeries, Schwartz's, La Banquise, and Little Italy add sugar pie, maple taffy, Portuguese chicken, steame hot dogs, and Québec cheeses.
