She would like the botanical gardens....

 

Go to the Hilltop Strip Club, just leave your girlfriend at the hotel.

But if that is a no go check out Med Bar and Grill. I was there on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago and it was great. It is like the Brant House set up, dinner then turns into a club later.

Friday night we went to a place called Rouge. Just a club but we had a good time.

But my experience is tainted with stags in Montreal, I am not usually with the better half in Montreal.

 

If you're travelling on an expense card, check out Queue de Cheval...best steak evar!

 

ohhh you have the laval rx7 meet by friday thats kind of fun :P

If you enjoy Football, go to an Alouettes game.
If you like Smoked Meat go to Schwartz's on St. Laurent.
If you like Bagels go to St. Viateur Bagel.
If you like sex then stay in your hotel room.
If you like nightlife go to Crescent Street or pretty much anywhere downtown! lol
If you like "sightseeing" go to the city overlook on the Mountain and then head down to Old Montreal.
Don't go to the tourist traps like "Cheers!" or "Club Super Sex".
If you like animals then go to the Biodome.
If you like roller coasters then go to LaRonde.
If you like to get mugged go to the East End.
If you like car racing then drive around the Formula 1 Track.
If you like to Gamble or see shows, then go to the Casino.

Hotel Concierges can give you all sorts of reccomendations too.

 

good things Nick86...

Lol - I do remember some things from the years I lived there!

Oh, if you want a short drive for some sight seeing, head north to St. Sauveur. It's a small village that is predominantly a ski town - it's about an hour away. It has a huge water park for summer fun if you are in to that!

 

you forgot about ribs... bar-b-barns!!!

 

thanx a ton guys, well i just read this so i didnt get a chance to read some of the restaurants recomended so we booked Maestro S.V.P for some yummy sea food. looks to be a cool place. its possible we may hit a comedy club tonight or a bar.

keep the ideas rolling guys if you have one to share....

cheers

 

Geeeze. How could I forget about that!? I miss montreal food: Poutine, Smoked Meat, Bagels, Bar B Barn..... mmmmmmm

There are two comedy clubs I know of - Comedy Works and the Comedy Nest. Comedy Nest is in the old forum, and Comedy Works is on Bishop I beieve. I saw a great comedian there last time!

 

Sightseeing...
Old Montreal -Place Jacques Cartier (day or evening)
Downtown Mtl- Crescent/St Catherine (evenings)
Brunch at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel or Ritz Carlton
St Lawrence Street (starting from Sherbrooke St. going North) Friday and Sat night
St Denis St. between Mont Royal and Sherbrooke

Automotively...
John Scotti (Viau and Metropolitain)- fleets of Lotus (Lotii) Lambos and many others
Ferrari Quebec- you never know what exotics you'll run into
Auto Bugatti- Saleen and Panoz agents and many other exotics hanging around.
Rx7 meet every Friday at Krispy Kream at the Carrefour Laval shopping centre (9 til 12pm)

 

Ooooh... Good one. While it is pricey, it's also tastey.
Another great Breakfast / Brunch place is Eggspectations.

 

I've never been there myself but my boss tells me he wishes he could go back to Montreal to get a hot dog from McGill's Hot Dog and eat it in Victoria Square so he can see all the beautiful women Montreal has to offer .

Might not be so exciting for your girlfriend but hey would be good for you haha.

 

Hot dogs... St Laurent st. between St Catherine and Rene Levesque... Montreal Pool Room and /or Montreal Hot Dog

 

Well its day two, dinner was great at maestro svp. a bit expensive but very good. we are going to head over to eggspectations for breakfast and some walking in old montreal.

Some shopping is in order then a famous hotdog mmmmmmm. Tonight its comedy at the nest or the old forum. i would love to see just for laughs but its all in french! lol
thnx again everyone..
