Old Montreal: Our take-out suggestions
The cobblestone streets, the Old Port and the treasures of the past take us back to another era. It’s true that walking through Old Montréal, the influence of the old continent comes through strongly. Montréal is one of the oldest cities in North America, and this neighbourhood gives a good sense of what the city looked like in centuries past.
It’s no secret that Old Montréal is a favourite destination for visitors to Montréal, but it’s also a culturally significant place for people who live on the island. With the Phi Centre, the Science Centre, the Old Port and the Grande Roue, among others, Old Montréal is, this year aside, a place for all sorts of singular experiences. Of all the activities on offer, you already know which one interests us most: discovering and tasting! Old Montréal is anything but disappointing on that front, with an enchanting choice of restaurants.
The neighbourhood has a particularly varied food offering. You’ll find Montréal institutions alongside laid-back counters and more refined restaurants. Generous sandwiches, Italian cooking, Japanese specialties, fragrant Indian dishes or Southeast Asian flavours: several excellent Old Montréal addresses let you order a meal to go, whether for lunch, dinner or a food break. A practical option for enjoying their specialties at home, at the office or on a picnic in the Old Port
