In Montreal, you might try a brunch at Les Filles du Roi in Old Montreal on a Sunday to sample some traditional Quebecois fare. There are also lots of great ethnic places. Mazurka is good cheap Polish. Also lots of Pubs and Taverns where you can enjoy Fish and Chips or Shepard's Pie with a cold Canadian Beer for next to nothing. For lunch, try a smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz' Hebrew Charcuterie on St. Laurent. Walk north on St. Denis past Sherbrooke and cut through the beautiful Parc St. Denis to find yourself on Prince Arthur, a street with two blocks closed to traffic where you can get Lobster or Langostino dinners for under $15.00 Canadian. Stop by a local store and pick up a bottle of chilled white Bordeax for $6.00, and you've got a nice outdoor cafe meal. Haven't spent much time in Quebec City, but when I did, I couldn't get into any restaurant before 10:00 PM (without reservations). Quebec was a HAPPENIN' town last summer. Book early if you get hungry at normal dinner times. Bonne Chance, Jan

And be sure to get bagels from the bagel place across the street. And don't forget Schwartz for smoked meat. Skip the turkey, go for the real thing. And send me some too please......... aric
When we were in Toronto a few years ago we asked the owner of the restaurant Le Bistingo to recommend some restaurants in Montreal. He sent us to two bistros in the Rue St. Denis area: L'Express and Lalou. We ate a both and were delighted. It was like being back in Paris. L'Express is very casual, busy and open late, and Lalou was more formal. By the way if you are ever in Toronto by all means try Le Bistingo.
