1234 Club |

|
1234, rue de la Montagne, Montréal H3G 1Z1 • 514-395-1111
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
OK, historic specifics out of the way first: 1234 is housed in a wonderful 17th-century greystone building that is reportedly haunted. The gargoyles and stained glass are intact, although various improvements have been made over the years. Today, the space is a dance club, owned by a group of savvy young industry types that includes celebrated DJ MC Mario. The interior has been completely revamped and is stunning, the music is a good mix of exquisitely danceable stuff, and the line-ups out front became legendary almost as soon as the place opened. |

Description:
Named for its location, high atop the Place Ville Marie tower at 737 feet above sea level, this place has awesome views, tons of space inside and out, and good drinks. The two-level interior has ample room for getting your groove on to techno and hip-hop, but if you're not a dancer don't let that deter you. 737 has plenty of comfy spots to chill out and nibble on a high-end appetizer while you sip a glass of champagne or a vodka martini. |

Description:
Retro-chic A GoGo is a definite favorite. The music runs from 70s disco to 80s New Wave and beyond, the décor is a mix of mod and kitsch, and the drink menu is dotted with monikers like Sweet Tart, Mr. Freeze, Pink Panther and A Clockwork Orange. It all adds up to a groovy good time, Baby! |

Amelio's |

(Restaurants - Italian) |
|
201, rue Milton, Montréal H2X 1V5 • 514-845-8396
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Affordably, fabulously flavorful and eminently satisfying. Amelio's is a tried-and-true standby in the McGill area, serving up great thick-crusted pizzas and pastas. It's not a fancy spot for a romantic dinner – this is hearty food in a super-casual atmosphere. Understandably, students make up a large percentage of the clientele, but the place is worth checking out even if you're a PhD. |

Au Pied de Cochon |

(Restaurants - French) |
|
536, ave Duluth est, Montréal H2L 1A9 • 514-281-1114
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Much favored for its fantastic take on French/Québecois cuisine, Au Pied de Cochon has earned beaucoup praise for its chef-owner Martin Picard. If foie gras is your passion, this is the place to get it – as a topping for poutine, in a tart or terrine, on pizza, even in a burger. Bison, boudin and duck also play prominent roles on the menu. The dessert list is lengthy with something for every taste, from baked apple to dark chocolate pot de crème to rhubarb pudding to maple syrup pie. Lively, relaxed and very, very popular. |

1201, rue Guy, Montréal H3H 2K5 • 514-931-3811

Description:
The Bar-B-Barn is a great family restaurant that's become a Montréal fixture since it opened its doors in time for Expo '67. They attract a large business clientele for lunch. The menu features three sizes of ribs and barbeque chicken: "whole hawg," "half hawg," and "baby hawg." Great place for that ravenous appetite. This is a Montréal favorite! |

Basilique Notre-Dame |
|
(Attractions & Activities - Historic Sites) |
|
110, rue Notre-Dame ouest, Montréal H2Y 1T2 • 514-842-2925 • 866-842-2925
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Built in 1829, the neo-Gothic Basilique Notre-Dame is built in the scale and manner of Europe's great churches. It's said that the protestant architect James O'Donnell, who designed the basilica, was so taken with the project that he converted to Catholicism. Fine woodwork, rose ceiling windows, blue vaulted ceilings and a massive church bell make this a great place to visit. A small, on-site museum displays various religious artifacts, paintings and vestments. |
