Spending 36 hours in Montreal. Any fun food, candy or drink items to try? Not like poutine or Montreal bagels but more like grocery store items.
I know it’s barely international but haven’t been to Canada since I was a kid and like trying new things. I also weirdly want to go to Canadian Tire just to say I went. |

I liked 1642 Cola when I was there on vacation.
https://millennialmagazine.com/2018/10/01/bastien-poulain-creates-1642-sodas-montreals-1st-original-soda/ My friend likes a grocery store cookie that has a wafer cookie base, then a big round marshmallow on top, fully enrobed by chocolate. https://www.darefoods.com/product/whippet-original-cookies/ Some Kellogg's cereals are made different there. Go to McDonalds and try to order a Happy Meal. It's called a Joyeux Festin (jwayoo festan). Minored in French in college and couldn't figure that one out. There's a lot of British influence in the grocery store. Maybe pick out some tea. Have fun! |

I am Canadian and I know the things I always get asked to send expats/visitors get excited for are:
• ketchup chips • Caesars and their main ingredient that differentiates them from a Bloody Mary, Clamato juice • maple anything • MacIntosh toffee |

Ketchup chips
All dressed chips O'henry chocolate bar Coffee crisp chocolate bar For restaurant type food: Definitely try poutine, beaver tails, smoked meat sammich, tourtiere, tarte au sucre. If you're going in the winter go to a sugar shack (SO FUN!) - they lay out snow/ice and pour maple syrup over it in a long line, put a stick in it and roll it up like a maple lollypop. Nomnomnom. So much delicious food! |

We're French and we loved Quebec. But we didn't really go for the food. More for the ambience, the friendly people, the accent

| Look at the candies. They have some with natural colorings instead of artificial dyes. |
