Montreal, CANADA

A visit to the French capital of Canada must begin with bagels at St-Viateur Bagel (stviateurbagel.com). Another hot seller is the poutine made with São Jorge cheese, grilled chicken, and chorizo at Ma Poule Mouillée (mapoulemouillee.ca). The falafels at Falafel St. Jacques, an all-vegetarian Middle Eastern restaurant, are not to be missed. Chalet Bar-B-Q (chaletbbq.com) has been impressing generations with its charcoal-broiled bird and gravy. Forty-year-old Restaurant Paulo & Suzanne (pauloetsuzanne.com) is a Quebec-style snack shop you should stop at. mtl.org
