ok you wanna spend money?? :)
Le Saint James Hotel (average 600$/night for a room, most expensive in Canada)
The W, The Queen Elizabeth, Sofitel, Le St-Paul, ... are all exceptional hotels.
Dinning, expensive, check out Toqué, Globe, Queue de Cheval :)
Shopping, stroll on St-Catherine from Guy to the village, it can talk you all day because your girl will stop everywhere but you'll absolutely love it on Saturdays because of all the eye candy everywhere. Don't miss the shopping center Les cours Mont-Royal for some upscale shopping. Also for shopping, you can walk St-Laurent from Sherbrooke to Mont-Royal lots of good finds there too.
Going out, forget Crescent, its the home of thousands of teenage americans and ontarians invading Montreal because they can't drunk from where they come.
Go instead on St-Laurent, its way better. Time Supperclub, Myst Café and the bar at the W, Buena Notte, Sofia, to name a few are more upscale and exclusive... you need to reserve a table (with bottle). |

ok for a romantic walk, you can't beat old Montréal and The Mount-Royal with its look out.
check the big red house on the top left corner, thats the MountRoyal look out, you'll get an exceptional view of the city!
Here's a view at night from the lookout:

Never been to those...I only saw the stupid hiphop clubs on the St. Laurent/Sherbrooke area. I will have to try those out myself! :)
And yeah, forgot about all the drunken fools on Crescent; when I went, my friends and I parked ourselves at Thursday's pub where it's a higher age group and we had some fun as people dance around the bar (no dance floor). None of the pretentious attitude that I'd expect to find at the upscale places Malek mentioned--wait a sec, you might fit in pretty well there! :p LOL (sorry--can't help it) maybe you should mention your love of Bimmers! :haha: (okay I stop) |

You went there on a good night, you were lucky :)

| Hey Malek - what is the name of the pub you took us to, the weekend of Cream last year?? The one with the high walls covered in ivy (and nice green lighting!) |

Le St-Elizabeth, corner st-Elizabeth/St-Catherine east.
Another nice place, Java U in Old Montréal, forgot the street name... its really nice! |

| if you want to eat great for a reasonable price, try La Maison Vip on Clark in Chinatown...The Cantonese lobster and steamed oysters are killer good at a very fair price. |

And holy , Malek, that Java U sounds pretty cool...I might hit it up with Jenny this w/e. Any more details? |

Awesome advice, guys! I found a site that lists all Montreal hotels, has tons of user ratings, online booking, etc. It looks like i'm set as far as hotels go. Gonna book some place tomorrow. Definitely not the one someone mentioned. It's one of the poorest reviewed hotels in the city. Carriage ride sounds like an awesome idea too! But what's Mont Royal?
P.S. And the foooddsss! Mmmm |
