I love Montreal, so Id just tought I'd share why I love this city so much!

Im all for a Forum dedicated to all thing Montreal, I'll look into getting that started!

Regarding Gibby's, I did debate putting it on that list as there are SO many good restaurants in Montreal and I figured that alot of people look a for a good steak when travelling. It was Gibby's or Moishe's (on St-Laurent)... and St-Laurent has temporarily lost its charm due to never ending road work

Here are a couple more foodie suggestion's while Im at it.
- Pizzeria Napoletana (Dante Street in Little Italy): This is a neighbourhood pizza place that will often have hour long line ups outside

- Europea (De la Montagne): Havent tried it personally but my parents swear by it

- Club Chasse et Peche (St-Claude in Old Montreal): Another fine example of great Montreal cuisine

- Toqué! (Saint-Antoine/Bleury near Square Victoria): This is the place that got the foodie revolution going in Montreal ($$$$)

- So many more I havent tried in local neighbourhoods as most of my client entertaining is done Downtown.

If you are looking for a great stay outside Montreal for a couple of days, you must try Hovey Manor in North Hatley. Probably one of the Top 10 tables in Quebec with incredible accomodations as well.

For the wine enthusiast, le Bistro à Champlain in the Laurentians. Probably Quebec's top cellar.
