Schwartz\u2019s!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to eat like a local, look no further! Find out Montr\u00e9al\u2019s must-have cuisine and where to get it, here!<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Figaro:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to say which is better, Caf\u00e9 Figaro\u2019s food or its ambience. Hidden away on a side-street in the Outremont District, Caf\u00e9 Figaro takes you away from the hustle and bustle and transports you to jolie Paris. The interior is charming and they also have many outdoor tables. They offer seven types of croissants in addition to the usual suspects; our favorites were the Nutella and Rum Chocolate croissants. Fill up on their delectable pastries and wash them down with the perfect bowl of coffee. Yep, they don\u2019t mess around with caffeine here. Bon app\u00e9tit.<\/p>\n

Lem\u00e9ac:<\/strong> Lem\u00e9ac is a well-established Outremont favorite serving up a variety of French bistro classics. The standouts here are definitely the Steak Frites (don\u2019t forget your b\u00e9rnaise), the house-smoked salmon and unsurprisingly the duck foie gras. Service is excellent and the ambiance is even better. It\u2019s a bit on the pricier side as most white-tablecloth establishments are. However, if you come after 10 P.M. you can steal an appetizer and main course (most entr\u00e9es are included) for only $27.
\n
\nAu Pied de Cochon \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al:<\/strong> If you have an affinity for decadence, this is your place. The restaurant is located in the stylish Montr\u00e9al Plateau. With quite an unassuming storefront sans sign, if you don\u2019t know to look for it you might miss it. Once inside you can enjoy its comfortable and notably unstuffy environment while you dine on some of the city\u2019s best delicacies: Au Pied de Cochon (literally \u201cthe foot of the pig\u201d is a pig\u2019s foot stuffed with braised pork and foie gras) and Duck in a Can (praised on countless Food Network shows)! Essentially they serve up great meat, rich sauces and put foie gras on everything. Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois heaven.<\/p>\n

La Maison de L\u2019Original Fairmount Bagel:<\/strong> You may be surprised to find that Montr\u00e9al<\/strong> locals are quite proud of their bagels, which are hand-rolled, boiled, thrown into a vat of honey-water and then baked in wood-burning ovens. What sets these bagels apart is their sweet, smoky crust, a gift imparted from the honey and wood-fire ovens, truly a must-try in Montr\u00e9al. Locals have feuded forever over whether Fairmount or St-Viateur bagels are superior. We are fans of the Fairmount but feel free to decide for yourself. Whichever side you choose, pick the variety that\u2019s the freshest–the warmest bagels are superior no matter what their flavor.<\/p>\n

Schwartz\u2019s:<\/strong> This Jewish Delicatessen is a Montr\u00e9al staple. Locals and tourists alike line up outside waiting to savor the city\u2019s most famous smoked meat. As Montr\u00e9al\u2019s oldest deli, Schwartz\u2019s is a true landmark, famous for its generations-old decor. Its mission is simple, crude men serving up smoked meat, pickles, cole slaw and fries for a loyal audience. Don\u2019t forget to wash down your sandwich with a famous cherry soda. Little known secret, if you want to skip the line, pop into Schwartz\u2019s shop next door: you\u2019ll miss a little bit of the experience but you can get the same sandwiches and fries here in half the time.<\/p>\n

Bonus: If you need a late-night snack, you must try La Banquise, which serves up 25 types of poutine, one of Montr\u00e9al\u2019s signature dishes<\/strong> consisting of French fries, gravy and cheese curds!<\/p>\n
