The Beloved and I hit Montréal for the Grey Cup on November 23, and we’re staying in Quebec for a few days afterwards. So, what should we see in Montréal, after the Grey Cup hang-over clears up? (I know what **matt** will say - ride the Métro!) ---

Have dinner at _Weinstein and Gavino’s_ Italian restaurant. Trust me, great eats! It’s on Rue Crescent (Crescent Street), a couple doors down from the _Hard Rock Cafe_. I make trips to Montreal just for this place. They make most everything in-house, so it’s all fresh (usually same-day or even same-hour) and it’s very reasonably priced. Even if there’s a line, it’s worth the wait. Hope you have a great trip. [sub]oh i wish i knew how to make accents appear on the boards; it hurts to look at the lonely e’s above[/sub] ---

1. According to Jacob Richler, [Schwartz’s](http://www.montrealfood.com/restos/schwartzs.html) is the **only** deli remaining in Montreal that really smokes their meat, as opposed to dumping chemicals on it and trying to pass it off on the tourists. A real experience. 2. [Biddles](http://english.montrealplus.ca/E/V/MTLEN/0003/79/99/cs1.html) has got equally amazing food and music. Go there for a late dinner or drinks. The owner, Charlie (“Charlie Biddle with the fiddle” is how he always introduceds himself) is the bass player. How cool is that? Every week he has different guys in to play with him, so there’s always something new. 3. Hi Opal! Who you hoping gets in? [sub]You may also want to check out Club Super Sex, but you didn’t hear that from me, okay? ---

**detop** - I’d forgotten about that previous thread. Thanks. I’ll print off both before we go. **eunonia** - 's’alright - I was more confident about the Riders, with less reason 😕 **matt** - way cool - how long did that take? Have fun in the Peg. **whatmove, D18** - thanks for the suggestions - I think I was in Schwartz’ many years ago. I was hoping for the Riders :(, but guess I’ll have to go with Winnipeg now. ---

**D18** is right about **Biddles** and music, Charlie Biddle is a Montreal staple. The jazz is sort of mainstream, post-bop but not too complicated. However, on the second point, I think their food sucks. I still reserve to eat when I go there, simply because I want to be sure to have a table. No bread on the dinner table. A very limited menu. Everything used to be tasty about 20 years ago, but I was disappointed the last few times. I’m going to round up a few addresses of places I’d recommend that you see in Montreal and post them tomorrow.
