Guidebook for Montréal
Food Scene
The bagels are famous in Montreal because they're so delicious! Highly recommend you grab one of their bagel sandwiches to go, pick up a bottle of wine and then take the 97 to the end of the street and have a picnic at the Mount Royal. On Sundays is the perfect day for this excursion as you'll get to be part of the "Tam Tams" a weekly event during the summer where people get together to enjoy drum circles and socializing. A must see during a Montreal summer.
