Our weekend in Montreal was a whirlwind but we're so happy we decided to make the last minute trek into Canada. This eclectic city reminded me of a European version of Manhattan with charming neighborhoods, excellent food, gorgeous and unique architecture as well as quaint cafes and fun bars. We walked most of the city by foot but spent the majority of our time in the Plateau district. Saturday evening we grabbed drinks with friends at Bily Kun before dining at La Salle a Manger* for dinner. Another highlight was our delicious Sunday morning brunch at the adorable ivy covered bistro: La Croissanterie Figaro (a huge thanks to Kristin for recommending). Espresso, crepes, croissants and quiche lorraine filled us up nicely for our rainy drive back to New York.
Our only regret: we completely forgot to try poutine!
We will obviously have to drive across the border again soon to taste this dish.
* I highly recommend La Salle a Manger; lively atmosphere and fresh, delectable food! We ate at the bar and dined on salmon tartare, grilled halibut and melt in your mouth beignets with carmel sauce for dessert. I would make the 5 hour drive tomorrow just to dine here again.

Never been to Montreal but now I want to go. I really should since I have friends who live there and love it.
Hey! I was SO happy to see this post. Montreal is my home, and I'm missing it a lot lately, as I'm currently doing some travelling of my own! You captured it beautifully in your photos. When you go back, send me a message - I've got a TON of places & restos that I could recommend to you!
Aw, yay! I love this post! I'm so glad you guys had a good time... isn't it just such a pretty city? And YES, La Croissanterie Figaro is delicious - I am terrible with names so was awful at suggesting places but have been there and it is an amazing little brunch spot! Loving the photo of the Canadian money (for some reason I find it so cute that you posted it!) and the last photo of you in the rain is adorable!!
I love these photos! I'm glad you had a good mini vacation!

What a divine weekend-I haven't been to Montreal in ages but your photos took me right back!
You were in my hometown, how fun ! I never tried that restaurant, I'm gonna check it out for shure friday on date night ! It's funny how someone from outside the city can make you discover something new about it !
I love this photo of you in the rain! So perfect :) xo, Kim www.eatsleepwear.com
@Marie-Eve - Oh how fun - yes I highly recommend it... let me know what you think! xx
Did you guys visit Sainte Elizabeth (the second to last photo)? They have an amazing terrace court yard that has the most amazing four-storey brick walls covered in ivy. Its a great spot to stop for a Boreale Blache

Adorable pics Alicia! I love to see you in my home and native land. Girl, I cannot believe you skipped the poutine...trust me-once you try it, it will be the first thing you get each time you return. :)
