Montreal has a bad reputation as being a town where everybody eats French Fries all the time and I guess it’s kinda true. Blame it on the poutine, but morning noon and night if you pass by the corner of Mont-Royal and St-Denis you will see many a smiling face, fork in hand eating poutine. However, there are numerous other quality snacking establishments within a hop skip and a jump that serve–ahem–real food.
Next time you’re downtown and in the mood, drop into Burritoville and grab a sweet potato burrito and a beer. If you’re up on the Plateau you could try Schwartz’s for a smoked meat sandwich, fries, a giant pickle and a cherry Coke. Alternatively, you go a little further up Boulevard St-Laurent you could have the pleasure of sinking your teeth into a tofu burger and a borscht at Patati Patata. Or if you wanna be super healthy and are craving veggies, you may want to consider ordering a tofu dragon bowl and a pot of tea at Aux Vivres.
