I’m fortunate that my workplace provides a week off for Spring Break, which gave Michael and me the perfect excuse to get away for longer than just our typical weekend getaways! This year, we chose to fly to a destination I’ve wanted to visit forever: Montreal, Quebec.
We expected a beautiful city, sure, with lots to see and do – but let’s be honest, we mostly wanted to eat. And with the weather dropping to 0° F for a good portion of the trip, eating warm food was the only thing that sounded good to us at times. We didn’t make it to every place on our list, but we definitely crossed off a few (and yes, we still walked many miles each day in the cold to make up for it!).
Here are a few favorite dishes from our trip to Montreal:
MONTREAL’S MUST-EATS
No trip to Montreal would be complete without a trip to Au Pied du Cochon (unless you are a vegetarian). We had to have the poutine of course. I read different versions of the origins of its name, but I’m pretty sure it stems from the phrase “poutine my mouth.” And since it’s Canada, the after-dinner espresso at APC is accompanied by maple syrup.
