Frommer's Favorite Experiences

  • Listen to Jazz: Downtown, Old Town, the Latin Quarter, all over, this is a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike, especially in late June and early July during the renowned Montreal Jazz Festival.

  • Savor Top-Notch Cuisine at Affordable Prices: Experience all of French cuisine's permutations -- traditional, haute, bistro, original Quebecois -- along with the city's fusion hybrids and ethnic restaurants the way the locals do: by ordering the table d'hote specials. You'll get to indulge in three or more courses for a fixed price that is only slightly more than the cost of an a la carte main course alone. Most full-service restaurants offer the option, if only at midday.

  • Explore Vieux-Montreal: The old quarter has an overwhelmingly European flavor. Wander Place Jacques-Cartier, the most engaging of the district's squares; explore museums and the stunning architecture of the churches; stroll or meander on a bike along the revitalized waterfront.

  • Shop: Browse the shops of world-class domestic designers, from the up-and-coming to the well established; search for Inuit (Eskimo) sculptures of the highest order (with prices to match); and take in the scores of eclectic antiques shops along rue Notre-Dame between rue Guy and avenue Atwater.
