Ahhh.... J'aime Montréal! How I love Montréal! This beautiful city feels just like being in Sydney except with much more history, beautiful food and a French flair. I have had the opportunity to visit this city twice - once in Summer 2010 and last December 2011, in winter. I really, really need to brush up on my Français. Fortunately for me, the city is French-English bilingual (unlike other cities I've been to in Québec) and especially when they hear my Aussie accent they are more willing to converse in English! Apparently they are less willing to speak English to the English Canadians.
Last December it was a must to visit
Schwartz's Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen (3895 Saint Laurent, Montréal) for a SMOKED MEAT SANDWICH. I still drool today thinking about how much I loved it.

This restaurant was so lovely and intimate. It was an old converted terrace house with only about 5 or so dining tables. My only complaint was the lack of space to move around (people often have to get up for one person to leave the table for the bathroom etc) and when you have love handles like I do, you like a bit of space! The food speaks for itself.
