Hi guys,
I'm hoping you guys can give me some recommendations. I'm visiting Montreal this coming weekend and I want to know if you guys have any recommendations on places to eat and must see. I'm a huge foodie, so I want to try stuff I definitely can't get back home (NJ). I already know I have to get some poutine, I just don't know where exactly the best place for that is. Thanks inadvance for any tips or recommendations.

-Ryan

Not really. I'm just looking for places that are a "Must Eat" Something that I know I can't get back home or something that is unique.

On Smoked Meat : Schwartz's on St-Laurent:
Don't forget to ask for lean meats (des viandes maigres) when you order.
...they taste better in my opinion.....

Au pied de cochon if you are looking for a bit finer experience for a diner. Fairly expensive though but the food is great.

Also watch where you park and potholes.

What time do the bars/lounges close? Just curious. It's our first time there, so we want to take full advantage of everything.

What's your budget?

Bars/lounges/clubs close at 3

As for food...definitely Schwartz for smoke meat, I'm not too crazy about the place but there are always line ups.

I honestly don't really like Le Banquise for poutine but you should try it. I would also recommend you try out the poutine and orange juice at the Orange Julep.

Budget for the entire trip? We're going to be there from Fri-Sun. I guess $1000?

Where's the best poutine in your opinion?
