FOOD LOVERS TRAVEL: Eat Montreal

If you think that tasting the best poutine in Montreal or enjoying the most tender smoked meat is as important (or even more so) as visiting Mount Royal Park or Old Montreal, then this guide is for you! In this gourmet notebook, Annabelle Schachmes has selected the crème de la crème of Montreal's places to eat well: the restaurants with the trendiest chefs, the best bagel, the best steakhouse, the best soft ice cream, the best food court, but also the best American-style dive bar and the best charcuterie. She traveled all over Montreal to find the institutions in each neighborhood, the restaurants to discover before everyone else, the markets where you can find good products. Because cooking rhymes with conviviality, Annabelle has surrounded herself with her most gourmet friends (culinary experts and proven gourmets) to offer their favorite addresses: the favorites of Ethné and Philippe de Vienne, spice hunters; the favorite restaurants of Raegan Steinberg, co-owner of Arthurs Nosh restaurant; the restaurants where you must eat according to Kate Boushel (partner of the Barocco Group, a Montreal restaurant group); and more. Also enjoy must-try or unique culinary experiences, such as discovering Quebec's terroir and its neo-agriculture, or discovering indigenous cuisine. Also discover the 5 must-try Montreal recipes at the end of the guide, such as baked beans or the famous Bloody Caesar cocktail. In total, 100 addresses tasted and validated for a gourmet journey to meet the best artisans in Montreal. Because ultimately, what better way to discover a destination than to eat like its locals?
