Dan and I spent a long weekend in Montreal, as we do almost every year, last May, but this May, our friends joined us from Virginia for a memorable birthday weekend! We had a wonderful time and great weather, enjoying fantastic meals, tasty drinks, and a bit of relaxation. This post details our 4-day itinerary for those looking for a Montreal itinerary focused on great food and drinks.
Montreal!
Montreal is home to a lot of amazing restaurants, but Olive et Gourmando just might be my favorite…I cannot go to Montreal without stopping here! Olive et Gourmando is a cute café located in Old Montreal, not too far from the entrance to Bota Bota (the best spa!). It serves breakfast and lunch and is incredibly popular! And for good reason. I asked Dan what I would say about it and he just said: delicious.
Dan and I’s favorite thing is the Le Poached Egg On Your Face breakfast sandwich!! I cannot tell you enough good things about this sandwich. The sandwich is a pressed Panini with spicy poached eggs with herbs and mayonnaise, comté cheese, speck and slow roasted tomatoes. It is plainly amazing. It is also big enough to split between two people. Here are some pictures of that beautiful sandwich:
