Must-Eat Places in Montreal, Canada
Must-Eat Places in Montreal, Canada
Charmaine
Montréal is the largest city in Canada's Québec province. There is a lot of great food in Montreal so here are some of my favourites.
Although Quebec is a francophone province, most people in Montreal are bilingual so you will have no trouble managing English in shops and restaurants.
Enjoy and bon appétit!

Here are a few recommendations that are under $10. They are a must-eat in Montreal and are super famous with a high review rating.
Depending on when you go, prepare for a long line-up.

A classic sandwich since 1932 with diner drinks such as egg cream soda, cherry soda, and milkshakes.
The famous Wilensky's special sandwich is a grilled bologna sandwich. It was included in Travel + Leisure magazine's May 2012 edition's article about the 'Best Sandwiches From Around the World', written by Jonathan Gold

Drogheria Fine
@thecanadianwander
$5 Gnocchi take-out in Montreal. It is fresh and hot and great for a winter day (but also very popular in the summer).

Poutine Restaurants
Poutine is a dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It emerged in Quebec, in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec region, though its exact origins are uncertain and there are several competing claims regarding its invention. (Wikipedia)
If you are in Quebec, you have to try a poutine! A good one should have squeaky cheese curds.
La Banquise

Most famous poutine restaurant in Montreal. Lots of flavours for you to choose.
