NTTCR: Montreal...Anyone?

PrivateOnePrivateOne member
in TTC after 35
This weekend we are heading to Montreal for a weekend anniversary get-a-way.  Anyone live there, been there, etc who have any good advice on what to do, see, eat, etc while we are there?  We've never been so looking for any advice anyone can share.

Thanks!

    That sounds like fun!! Happy Anniversary!! No advice but when I thought we were going to Vancouver 2 years ago I went on the travel board over on the nest and got some helpful ideas! You could always post there if no one can help here :)

    Funny, I was just talking to DH about possibly going there and a coworker just emailed me her trip advisor review tonight for reference. No personal recommendations since I've never been, but have a great time and definitely report back!

    I love Montreal!  It is a very pretty city, with European feel :) It's been awhile since I've been there, but they have a lot of little cute shops and their bakeries are DELICIOUS!  I highly recommend trying their crepes there (yummy!!!).  I think our hotel was on St. Catherines...great street with lots of stuff.  Totally walkable.  Enjoy!

    Was there for one night for a hockey game a few years ago (I miss the perks of my old job).  Anyway, I really recommend spending some time in Old Montreal.  There are awesome little shops and restaurants.  And I agree with PP - have crepes while you're there.  In fact I recommend crepes any time you can get them!

    UPDATE: Back from our little mini vacation. We had a great time.  Montreal is a very nice city and we saw lots of sites and did lots of strolling through the city streets.  Ate lots of yummy food including crepes, pastries, and quiche. I think I gained 5lbs, lol.  We also saw the new Cirque du Soleil show called Kurious.  It was totally amazing and probably one of the highlights of the trip.

    Thanks again ladies for all the well wishes!! Now it's back to the daily grind and next IVF cycle.
