The Essence of Montreal

Montreal at Night - view from Mount Royal lookout
For me, the lookout from the chalet atop Mont Royal in the centre of downtown Montreal epitomizes the essence of this wonderful city.

Montreal has got panache, style, charm! She's beautiful! She's hip! She's dynamic! She's got that certain European flair! She's multi-lingua and multi-culturall! And best of all, she's open all night!!

Where else in Canada can you encounter downtown bumber-to-bumper traffic, crowds of people pouring into the streets and sidewalks 1:00AM in the morning on a balmy summer night?

Where else in Canada can you have a jazz festival right in the middle of downtown that lasts all night?

Where else in Canada can you get the best smoked meat and the best bagels in Canada 24 hrs/7 days a week?

There's just no other city in Canada like her!!

 Schwartz's: not only the best smoked meat in town, the best rib steak, too...(*with one exception: Moishe's, a few doors north). Take it from me, this is the very best smoke meat/steak* house in North America ..a 5 star rating. Tell them "Mike" sent you!
