Just before you go home on Sunday afternoon, end your trip on high note by grabbing one of our famous poutines. There are many restaurants that can fulfill your poutine needs… too many! We recommend going to Ma Poule Mouillee on Rachel, and then bringing your chorizo or chicken poutine to Park Lafontaine across the street. It’s actually a favourite summer activity amongst locals, so here’s a tip to skip the line: call before you go and order in advance! Magic. Nearby is La Banquise, another popular spot (perhaps because they’re open 24/7). This restaurant is also the largest, which means it can accept big groups at a moments notice.

3. Chill in a park and have a beer
It’s beautiful, free, and fun! This is probably why many Montrealers do this every weekend. Parc Lafontaine, Parc Laurier, and Parc Mont-Royal are all great spots to lounge around. The rule here is that you can drink in the park as long as you’ve got a meal. So pick up a few bagels, some cream cheese, a few brews, and you’re good to go! If you want some extra fun and are into ping-pong or petanque, Parc Laurier’s got your back.
2.*We Apologize in Advance* Have a 10$ daytime lap dance!
Many strip clubs and bars are open during the day! Why not have a quick dance and laugh with your pals? Of course, it won’t be the 10/10 girls, but you’re doing it for the laugh not the ass. We can’t guarantee your satisfaction on this one unfortunately! Pro tip: club Super Sex has a “free” buffet during the day. Cut down those costs…?
