I was going to say "good poutine" but I'm not sure there is any such thing.

I reccomend any La Be lle probince for pioutine

Otherwise, I ageree with waht has been said so far.

For a burger yo u might want to chekc out MR Stteeer on Ste Cathereine's around Peel (can't remembver exactly right now)

Very delicious standard AMsderican cuisinge. Curly rfries are gereay

Also, I recomnend yhtat you have a Dqagwood's sandwich while in Montreal., There's a Dagwood's on Ste \Catherine
at Guy. ORder the Dagwood's sandwich with Tomato, Lettuce and the Dagwood's sauce. The last item in sessential. To quote a review of the restaruant "[dagwood's sauce] might just be God's sweat"

Hah.

Out of curiosity - can one take a toddler to a youth hostel (and even if one can, is it bad form?). Also, what are the age limits for the adult, I would have thought I was too old, but from what I've gathered GePap is not exactly a compatriot of Kuci. Plus my wife may very well fall into the proper age brackets.

I wouldn't go to a hostel as a family.

[Mr. Harley]

Not necessarily as a family - my wife might go seperately and then meet up with me due to my job and problems getting off any significant amount of time. However, I have a suspicion that toddlers and youth hostels are not exactly a good fit.

[lord of the mark]

Some youth hostels have family rooms. And there really isnt an age limit anymore, as long as you pay the annual membership.

We were once in Boston, on an emergency trip when my dad was sick, and it was the weekend of several graduations, and every hotel in the metro area was booked solid - we finally got a room at a hostel - it was actually a Boston University dorm that was temporarily a hostel. There was no AC, but we were OK with that, we just needed places to stay.

Ive since stayed at hostels in Hartford, Ct, and in Virginia Beach, Va (not sure if the latter was a federation hostel). And im no spring chicken.

I am back from Montreal. Thank you for all the suggestions- I ended up going to Fairmount Bagels and Schwrtz, as well as St Vitauers bagels and a few other places. I was generally happy with all the places I went to eat, and had a very nice time walking around Montreal as well.

I saw one family in the Hostel, a British couple with two small children. Honestly, it seemed a nice place fore the kids, if you make sure the family has the room for themselves. There were wuite a lot of non youths there, and the place was clean, and not rowdy at all. They had a communal dinning room in the basement as well as kitchens for people to cook their own meals. Overall I was happy with the hostel, and it had a great central location.

I know the dude who owns St Viatteur's Bagel

He once served bagels to Prince Charles...

You're from New York, everything is going to be a slight letdown by comparison with what you can get there.

[chequita guevara]

You didn't go to a Montreal steak house?

[KrazyHorse]

Smoked meat, bagel and poutine are much higher on my list than is steak...

Agreed!

Although a good steak with Montreal Steak Spice is mouth watering.

But if you find just the right place, the poutine and/or smoked meat will dazzle you.

My favorite for poutines is a small place near the Jacques Cartier Bridge on the south shore.
