Things To Do

Khyber Pass Restaurant

St-Viateur Bagel Shop

Maybe the best bagels in the world

Fairmount Bagel

Also maybe the best bagels in the world

Else's

Chill bar where we spent way too much time during McGill

Café Humble Lion (Sherbrooke)

Great coffee near McGill

Bar Bifteck St-Laurent

This place is trash but they do make really inexpensive gin and tonics, which is important. GET ALL THE SALT POPCORN. Is gross.

Mamie Clafoutis

The absolute best croissants. They good. Especially the almond chocolate croissant.

Mount Royal Chalet

Nice view of the city from the top of the mountain

Café Myriade

Great coffee, best consumed on the stoop just outside the iconic Mackay fruit party store delicatessen.

Café Santropol

Massive sandwiches in a whimsical garden setting.

Le Darling

So many plants. So many beers.

McGill University

This is where we went to school. It's very pretty. Perhaps you catch it on the one week a year it is not under construction.

Sparrow

Super cute bar. Good snacks/brunch.

Cardinal Tearoom

Tea and scones and cute vibez.

Hof Kelsten

So. much. bread. Go here.

La Fontaine Park

Park with beautiful reservoirs and even more beautiful dogs.

Word (The)

Bookstore with great finds. Super close to McGill.

Boulangerie Cheskie

Best rugelach on the planet. This is fact.

Olive et Gourmando

The baked goods and coffee are dope. I think all of my contributions to this list are bakery related? Anyway, this cafe is a good place to grab snacks for a nice walk along the water in the Old Port.

Bar Henrietta

Beautiful bar with magical sparkling wine. One of my favorite hangouts to go to when I come home to see my best friends.

Canal Lachine Park

Beautiful canal park, named "La Chine" supposedly because Jacques Cartier thought he was in China when he first landed.

Atwater Market

Atwater Market is amazing for all types of fresh food, and it's next to the Lachine Canal Park. In 2010, when we were both living here and the Montreal Canadiens had a fantastic playoff run (beating the #1 seed Washington Capitals in the first round, and the reigning champion Pittsburgh Penguins in the second), someone in Atwater market sold a specially-designed sausage for each player on the Habs lineup.
