Can't believe that thread got Shaq'ed and not restarted. Anyway, I'll be home on leave around the holidays and thinking about making my first real trip (went with my parents when I was like 8, which obviously doesn't count) to Montreal--any suggestions??

Go to a Saturday night Habs game when you're not at Chez Paris or Super Sexe.

I think former poster PatriotsNation went there for his bachelor party. He might have some good advice and a story to tell.

we stayed at Hotel de La Montagne.

there are sites with pretty good hotel deals, I'd do a google search for one of those rather than just booking through the hotel website. IMO its worth the extra $50/pp a night to stay in a decent hotel rather than some shitty Holiday Inn. I booked a "For Foodies" deal through this website and it gets you a free complimentary breakfast each day. The breakfast is legit, if I could go back in time I would have gone there everyday and just skipped lunch. Didn't try it till the last day though.

dropped out: mcm.

hotel de la montagne is a solid recommendation, but the anti-poutine sentiment is just plain wrong.

I took out $500 Canadian at a B of America sister bank (Scotia Bank) and was only charged $476 USD by my bank.

But in restaurants / bars / clubs/ stores the USD is weaker than the Canadian dollar. We were getting $18 for our American $20. Best bet is to bring little US cash and hit an ATM while you are there and take out Canadian. Also, credit card company's will charge you 2-3% surcharge for out of country use. Like everywhere else, cash is king.
