Montréal is also renowned for its outstanding cuisine and French and international restaurants.

"Montreal is a phenomenal tourist destination, a city that stands alone in North America in so many respects. With the intriguing mix of two cultures and languages, the city's long history, its propensity for the arts, its endless festivals and celebrations, the fine dining and night life and of course the beautiful woman; there's not much to be missed. You'll also find professional football and soccer here, along with one of hockey's legends, the Montreal Canadians.
With the reclamation of the waterfront, the opening of the Lachine Canal to kayakers, the 300 kilometers of bike paths, along with the nature parks' initiative, Montreal is adding yet another dimension to its already broad appeal and of course another reason to visit. "
