[quote=Anonymous]We stayed at Gite Au Coeur Urbain, a lovely B&B that is located next to Parc du Mont-Royal. The Japanese room that we stayed in doesn't really have a door separating the bathroom and bedroom area, but my understanding is that the other rooms do. You can always ask if privacy is a big deal for you. It is not right in the middle of everything, but it is right on the edge of the central area of Montreal. The subway station is a ~10 minute downhill walk away, and on the way back, you can take a bus that drops you off in front of the B&B (it runs pretty often). Breakfasts were wonderful, with a very friendly host, great food, and an assortment of 12 different jams to try on your bread. Delicious.

It's tough to go wrong with restaurants in Montreal as long as you do your research ahead of time and avoid the overly tourist places. We often just pulled up Yelp or Tripadvisor and looked at what was nearby that people were rating highly. The only place we made a point of going to was Au Pied de Cochon, which is well known. If you like foie gras, definitely go there. I'd recommend making reservations well in advance.

And do look into going to a cirque show while you are there, if you like Cirque du Soleil type shows. The cirque scene is very well developed in Montreal, and while Cirque du Soleil is headquartered there, you will find many other smaller, excellent cirque groups that are more minimalist in their costumes/sets but are much more technically accomplished than Cirque du Soleil.[/quote]
