Spring energizes Montreal, and the city's most popular cafés keep that spark alive all year. While Montreal is home to countless must-try cafés, there are a few that every local should visit in the spring.
Sandwiches are the bread and butter of many Montreal restaurants often a culinary ad-lib of filling between slabs of brown or white (bagels or baguettes for those with discriminating taste). But some local eateries are experimenting with alternate ways of making the classic lunch item. Maybe club sandos don't always work best on toast and sometimes grilled cheeses can use a touch of sweetness. These unconventional sandwiches are the best thing since sliced bread, and they don't even use any.
That in-restaurant excitement when your meal arrives and an edible work of art is placed in front of you is now attainable at home. You don't need to go out to be spoiled with a beautiful spread. While some Montreal restaurants deliver on plating, others have mastered perfect packaging. They're also thinking outside the box when it comes to what's inside it. These spots will take you back to when your parents packed you a meal, except this time everything is scrumptious (no surprise raisins allowed).
