i was pleased with the fact that they use mayo for their french fries. it's like going to europe without crossing the ocean.

i really like montreal.

I've never been in a Canadian McDonald's (that I can remember, anyway). Do they do the same "Royale with Cheese" thing as they do in Europe?

Note: I've never been to Europe. I'm just assuming the Travolta dialogue in "Pulp Fiction" about Amsterdam is accurate.

What kind of music do u like?
you can always go to " foufoune electrique " on st-catherine... one of the biggest, badess rock bar in montreal. If you like Techno/Trance you can go to the Aria.
If you want easy little drunk girl.. you can go to The Loft (st-catherine , st-laurent corner)

If you want to see strippers.. you have the choice.. 'Super Sexe, Amazone" and it's cheap.. you can get a dance for 10$ and for this price u can touch! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyone ever been there? I am considering planning a trip there with 4 of my friends this weekend. Friday until Monday. What things are the must sees? What other things would you advise and why? My friends and I are interested in anything that we wouldn't normally see in the midwestern United States. In addition, we like to drink. Please advise along those lines. Thank you

So yeah, these are hopefully my plans for this weekend too. Where's a good area to stay? The Latin Quarter, Downtown, Old Montreal? I'm looking for a reasonable hotel in a good area.

[DonBaker]

Old Montreal is expensive so dont go there...
in downtown u have some good place you can go
you have the Hilton..
Queen Elizabeth (expensive)
if you want to have less expensive stuff , you need to go to the south shore... 15 min of the downtown..

I recommend Quebec City for an even bigger "foreign experience" if that's what you're looking for.

Don't get me wrong though, if your coming from the States, Montreal will be quite foreign to you. If money is no object, one of the best hotels is "Hotel St Paul" in Old Montreal. Their restaurant "Cube" is also one of the best in the city. Their location is great, very close to everything. Check out www.hotelstpaul.com - you can book online. The wife and I stayed there last September, trust me on this one..

As for food, you can't go wrong almost anywhere in Quebec, but must haves are "Crepes" and "Tarte Au Sucre".

[DonBaker]

Quebec is nice.. but if you dont speak french.. it will be really difficult for you to get service there.. Montreal is a billingual town.. u can speak english everywhere!

Montreal is a nice visit. If you get a chance check out the city beneath the city. Malls, apartments, businesses, all right under downtown.

If your going to St. Catherine Street do not go past St.Denis street unless your into hardcore gay/lesbian/it type stuff.
