Guidebook for Montréal
Food Scene
You would need to take an Uber- about a 12 minute ride. You absolutely need to check this out and have a classic smoke meat sandwich. No reservations, there may be a line up outside, but that’s worth it. They will seat you with strangers and your sure to strike up a conversation. If you want to skip the line go the the entrance to the left and order take out.
