[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are tourists. Why would they want to avoid the tourist areas? pp is strange.[/quote]

PP here. I said avoid the overly touristy restaurants. That is almost always good advice when you travel to any city, because any restaurant that depends primarily on tourists will know that the people they are serving won't be coming back regardless of the quality of their food, and that they can charge more for the convenience of not having to put much effort into finding a good restaurant. Montreal has a fantastic food scene that should be part of the experience of the city. Old Montreal is one of the most touristy areas of the city, and most of the restaurants there are mediocre. There are a few exceptions, but more of the good food to be experienced can be found in areas that are just a short walk or subway ride away from the main tourist areas.

I think it is more strange to think that one can experience the authentic cuisine of any country by staying in the tourist areas.[/quote]

Why do you think people want to experience the authentic cuisine of any country?

And, I mean, let's be clear: Canada isn't known for its cuisine. And Montreal is best known for French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy as well as overly dense bagels.[/quote]
