Springtime in Montreal: Old Montreal's Restaurants and Lounges

April 7, 2009 at 6:12 PM | by shiralazar | 0 Comments

Can't swing a trip to Paris for the Spring? Jaunted Embed Shira Lazar gives us a tour of her home town of Montreal, a much cheaper but just as authentic French experience.

We stopped by L�Orignal, a �chalet chic� resto on industry night Monday, where they offered $4 vodka and had an oyster chucker right at the bar.

The owners of L�Orignal also have another hot resto/lounge in the area called Garde Manger. It�s a the hip dining destination, where you can order seafood platters and bbq ribs while wining and listening to funky tunes. We�re told the waiting staff are hot too. BTW- that seems to be actually a Montreal norm.
L'Oringal: 479, Saint-Alexis/Garde Manger: 408 St-Fran�ois-Xavier

Here are some other recommendations for nightlife in Old Montreal:

DNA Restaurant
355 rue Marguerite D'Youville, Montreal, QC
Why Go: Reasonably priced Mediterranean food, but it�s more known for its fun and trendy setting.

Santos
191, rue St Paul O corner St Francois Xavier
Montreal, Qu�bec, H2Y 1Z5
Why Go: The cafe advertises "healthy comfort food" and DJ spin tunes on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

W Hotel
901 Square Victoria
Why Go: The W is one of those places you just can�t go wrong. The bar typically has a good crowd and music too. It�s also not too hard to find like some of these more alley hidden spots.

Cherry 417 St. Pierre Street, Montreal, QC
Why Go: Cherry is the late night club spot that everyone is raving about. The vibe is laid-back yet sexy with French red velvet furniture and great big name DJ�s. Open Thursday-Sundays and sometimes throughout the week.
