Where To Eat In Old Montreal

A Honeymoon travel Series

On September 22, my husband and I had been married exactly one month. And neither of us could believe how fast that month went, and I can’t believe that Montreal is already a month behind me. It was a great honeymoon, not your usual tropical beach get away, but perfect nevertheless.

As far as I can tell, eating in old Montreal is always going to be an experience. There are so many unique restaurants catering to a variety of tastes and culinary styles. I didn’t take pictures of every meal I ate, but I am going to share some of my experiences with dining out in this post. Mind you, I think to answer the question, where to eat in old Montreal? the answer is anywhere! Honestly we had no complaints at all no matter where we went.

Mandy’s

One of the restaurants we visited was Mandy’s. I fell in love the moment we walked in there; the atmosphere was just serene and yet fun and the food was amazing. Mandy’s is a gourmet salad bar and perfect for someone like me who loves her veggies, and who enjoys fresh tasting food. There are now several locations in Montreal, and honestly you won’t walk out of there hungry. Just look at the guacamole! We had to pack some to take away, and it was just as tasty that night.

Beer and Poutine

Montreal is known for it’s craft beers and we certainly indugled when we were there. I can’t remember which microbreweries we stopped at for beer, but each was amazing. My husband and I always ordered something different and then tasted each other, and we both loved every one we had. So definitely stop for a tall cold one.

We also had to stop for poutine, because what is a trip to Quebec without poutine? A travesty, that’s what. I actually had poutine twice and both were good, though the first poutine shop we ate at was definitely better. If you want a really amazing poutine experience in Montreal, I am told that it is not to be found in old Montreal, but elsewhere in the city, so do some research and talk to the locals.

Drinks and More

We didn’t just have salads and poutine in Montreal. We stopped in a restaurant that served Mexican fusion and just nice food, and we had some tacos. Again, we ordered different kinds and tasted each other’s meals and all of those tacos were delicious, and so fresh! I’m yearning for some just thinking about them.

We also dined at a steakhouse that had some nice vegetarian options, perfect for both me and my meat eating husband. I had a traditonal Greek salad (no lettuce) with simple olive oil and oregano as the dressing. It was amazing. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of this but trust me it looked as good as it tasted.

We also had the most mouthwatering lemon risotto and then had a drink for dessert–it was a lemon drop martini and quite on the sweet side, something different for us both.

Final Thoughts

Every day was it’s own mini adventure in Montreal, and part of that was exploring the restaurants. After all, who doesn’t want great food when they go on vacation? It’s a chance to get out, kick back and just enjoy the company of your family and friends, or my case my husband. No wants to come back from any vacation and have the memory of not enjoying their meals, or worse, have upset stomachs. You’ll definitely love the dining in old Montreal, so it’s totally a great place to visit for a foodie.

What kind of dining experience do you enjoy best? Share in the comments.

It’s Friday! How many of you are just grateful for this day? Because you don’t have to work tomorrow, because you can catch up on sleep or clean your house? I think many of us are grateful out of pure exhaustion, which is understandable. But do take the time to be mindful this weekend. Ask yourself, how does your body feel? How are you feeling emotionally? And take the time to do what you need to do for YOU. Squeeze in that time for self care—an extra nap, a bath, some time to read, or a walk in the park. I’m going to indulge in some nostalgic outings with family. What self care are you practicing this weekend? #tidbitsofcare #selfcaresunday #selfcaresaturday #selfcareispriority #selfcareaccount #selfcareblogger #selfcareishealthcare♥️ #lifestyleblog #weekendsareforselfcare
Mommy life might drive me crazy. I have ordered the @lovevery kits since Baby J was born. The latest box just arrived. I was gone one hour and Baby J has hidden/list the puzzle piece. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it. Can anyone explain why toddlers do this?? 🤪 #tidbitsofcare #mommylife #earlychildhooddevelopment #toddlers #mommyblog #lifestlyeblog #bloggerlife
I was listening to news on the Royal Family and learned about this book because the Princess of Wales is very invested in the early years. As a teacher who loves kindergarten, so am I and as a new mom especially. This is honestly so good that I think all parents should read it. It teaches us about a child’s brain and how to use that knowledge to guide our parenting to raise kids that are emotionally healthy. I’m so glad I found out about this book! #princessofwales #tidbitsofcare #parentinghelp #kidsmatter #mentalhealth #selfregulationtools #selfregulationforkids
Today has been a wonderful, quiet day—after all the cleaning was done that is. I cherish quiet days. It’s nice to just melt into them and enjoy the sense of peace that comes with them. I love to read, or crochet on quiet days, or watch the baby as he plays. Who else loves quiet days? #tidbitsofcare #peacefulday #selfcaresunday🌸 #quietdayathome #lifestyleblogger #blog #selfcareblog #timetoreflect🙏
I really want to see green things and flowers again. We had a mild winter until March hit, then snow and wind and rain. I know it’ll be a while till I see green and springs blooms, but who says I can’t indulge in spring like things? Or delight in the longer days? It’s spring in my mind today. When life gets too blah, your imagination can really lift your spirits! Do you imagine warmer days, upcoming vacations or yummy dinners? #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #springiscoming #spring2023☀️ #springtime🌸 #lifestyleblogger
Yesterday I ran errands and did some housework but I also got on me time and got my nails done. I’ve been doing more light, neutral shades lately. They just feel more me and more elegant. But if I’m in the mood, I splash into colour too! It’s all about just being myself. Because it’s okay to just be me ☺️ #tidbitsofcare #personalgrowth #selflove #selflovemoments #blogger #lifestyleblogging #bloggers #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #bloggerstyle

      All the food looks so good! I want a big bowl of poutine now. 🙂
      That said, I appreciate that Mandy’s serves such a big bowl of guacamole; I could eat it with chips for my main course and be full, but the restaurants around me always serve tiny portions.
      Thanks so much for sharing your experience through photos and writing!

        I know, so many places really have tiny portions of guacamole, it’s so frustrating and disappointing. I make it at home sometimes and I devour the stuff!
