Is it good to eat out in Montreal? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

I don't have it. I always prefer to go somewhere else, but, overall, I like Saint-Denis street.

It depends if you are a clubbing person or you prefer cultural events or house parties, etc... but I would definitely say Place des Arts during the summer because there are bunch of events (almost everything is free).

You do not have to be afraid of anything. People are gonna accept you wonderfully, but if you wanna meet a lot of people, use couchsurfing web site. You will meet such a huge diversity of the people like nowhere in the world and if that is your passion, you will have the best time of your life!
