Yesterday was spent wandering around the Plateau neighborhood some more. We think we’ve seen most it now and feel that we have a good sense of how the city is laid out. We stopped for a mid-afternoon snack along Rue St. Denis at a cute little outdoor diner. We sat outside and had a glass of wine and some bruschetta. An interesting ingredient included in a lot of Canadian cooking: vinegar. They use it like ketchup here and it’s actually not bad on french fries. We could definitely taste the vinegar in our buschetta.
After a little more wandering, we came across a Mexican restaurant that had stale chips and bad salsa. We didn’t stay there long. On our way back to the condo, we came across a bar called Barraca that caught my eye. To our delight, the 20-something bartenders both spoke excellent English and spoke with us the entire time we were there. They even treated us to a drink on the house when they learned we were on our honeymoon…or maybe it was when they learned we were from Milwaukee. They seemed to have heard of the Brew City. Go figure. One of the bartenders, Louis, gave us some recommendations for good places to eat and some great non-touristy things to do in Old Montreal. Interestingly, we also learned from Louis that the neighborhood we’re staying in is the heaviest French-speaking neighborhood in the city. He said that as we explore other areas of the city, we’ll have absolutely no problem with the language barrier. This was good news to us, though we really haven’t had any language issues so far.

We took Louis’ advice and headed to an Italian restaurant called Misto for dinner. It was fantastic. A bit on the pricey side, but our meal was excellent. Calley had a “mexicalifornia” pasta dish and I had grilled salmon with a safron risotto. So good!
Today we’re going to take Montreal’s subway system for a whirl (speaking of, Subway restaurants are HUGE here…they’re like McDonalds in the States…seems there’s one on every corner!) and head to Old Montreal. Sounds like there are a lot of museums and things to do down there. We may try a restaurant called Gibby’s that was recommended to us by a co-worker or head back to the Plateau and check out another one of Louis’ recommendations – Le Chien Fumant.
