Guidebook for Montréal
Food Scene
La Banquise
994 Rue Rachel EstVery famous poutine place. Expect line-ups at all hours.
Greasy spoon. No frills but delicious. In my opinion poutine there is more authentic than at La Banquise.

Drinks & Nightlife
Candi bar
1148 Avenue du Mont-Royal EYoung scene but amazing decorations in pink and candy and legos
Upstairs is a wine restaurant but below at Bar Royal is my favourite moody hangout: in a dug out basement covered in brass and glass and low lighting, super cool place (when it's open).

Parks & Nature
Awesome park with tennis and skating in the winter. Go at sunset with drinks (legal to drink in parks if you have food too). The gay lawn is at the second lake (south) on the eastern shore.
