Montreal Suggestions

Post by Beer-B-Q »

I'm heading to Montreal over the Easter long weekend and I'm looking for suggestions on places to grab good food/beer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Go to the Dieu du Ciel bar. It's a great place (nice patio also if it's warm) and they have many DDC beers on tap.

You can't go wrong with any of the above (or DDC).

I would add Cheval Blanc and if you are downtown west, then Brutopia seems to be upping their game recently too.

Sadly, as great as the best beer places in Montreal are for beer, they are generally pretty basic for food. The idea of a great place to eat and have a beer hasn't really jelled there. Good restaurants still generally ignore local beer and beer bars often don't even bother with food at all.

For average (better than your corporate fake Irish pub) food and beer, Les 3 Brasseurs is an option, but not worth seeking out.
Brands are for cattle.
