Insider Tips

  • St-Viateur or Fairmount bagels — pick a side and argue passionately (both are incredible)
  • Plateau Mont-Royal is the heart of the city: walk the murals, eat at every corner
  • Mont Royal park for the sunrise city view (it's a short hike, well worth it)
  • Summer festivals are non-stop: Jazz Fest (July), Just for Laughs, Osheaga
