Poutine is a must!
We recommend Chez Gaston. This St.-Roch hole in the wall is not fancy but the poutine is just perfect: crisp fries with crunch and curds with squeak, all doused in gravy.
If you are looking for more comfort, you could head to Poutineville.
All ingredients are customizable, but the house specialty replaces crushed potato chunks for fries and adds a pile of braised beef to Canada’s so-called “national dish.”
Then head to Rue of Strange Brew.
The ideal spot to taste the province’s best craft ciders and beers.
For apple-based tipples, visit Le Projet Spécialité Microbrasseries, a busy bar with an elegant interior. Try the Citron Sunrise from Les Vergers de la Colline — an appealingly tart, lemony cider — or the winelike rosé “ice cider” from La Face Cachée de la Pomme.
And if you are not tired yet we recommend spending the rest of the evening at Bar Les Yeux Bleus, a cavelike bar with (gentler) live music.
