Villeray & Little Italy

A foodie's paradise! - Marché Jean Talon - Dinette Triple Crown (BEST southern food) - Parc Jarry - Etna (Wine bar) - La Cornetteria (desserts) - Mon Lapin (upscale resto) - Gema Pizzeria

Old Port of Montreal & Chinatown

Cute but pricey... avoid booking your stay here! - Spa Scandinave (better than Bota Bota in our opinion) - Cafés: Tommy, Crew & Collective, Olive & Gourmando (try their cinnamon buns!) - Year-round Christmas store - Giant Wheel Chinatown is small but definitely worth checking out for a cheap bite: - Mỹ Cảnh (Vietnamese) & Keung Kee (Cantonese) - Le Mal Necessaire (great bar)
