Congrats to Le Petit Alep, #Montreal, on getting on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list this year!
Good for them, a bit sad for me now that I can't just walk in and get a table - have to make a reservation at least a couple of days ahead 🙁

My favorite #Montreal food. Poutine and Chicken Shawarma. Something I can eat every day I vacation here.
Two fast food joints both on same block that serve great versions of both:
La Belle Province for Poutine.
Boustan for Chicken Shawarma Sandwich.
Rue Ste Catherine corner of Boul St Laurent.
#montreal bike trails. Route Verte 1 and Route Verte 3 sections.
That is the period when festival season is over, so somewhat quiet. I would recommend searching on the web for activities that interest you and then picking from there. From exploring neighborhoods, to walking, biking, etc many choices. Parks, walk or bike along the Lachine Canal, Jean-Talon market

3+hr nice bike ride on two bridges in Montreal. Pont Champlain and Jacques-Cartier.
From Montreal to Brossard and Longueuil and back to Montreal. Nice easy ride only complication is extreme difficult in getting to start of Pont Champlain bike path starting point.
Alps are melting? For now, still good skiing. This year first week of March was good at Avoriaz and Morzine too. Just 90 minutes from Geneva so easier to get to from an airport.

Winter is best season and Montreal shows it off well. Today (2024-April), even on its way out it iced and felled trees and branches in #Montreal!
aczoom.com/travel/montr... #Montreal #Estacade #Champlain is a great ride at night too. Just be aware there will be lots of bugs. And some nights, like in the movie Birds, lots of birds on the bridge (scary, but was fine in the end).
