I was delighted to notice that a new ice cream shop/café had opened up by the Pointe-à-Callière.

Expensive but chic brunch and lunch place in Old Montreal with a complex ordering system.

Buried on the second floor of an unassuming little mall in Chinatown lies a bustling, no-frills dimsum resto. My go-to dimsum resto in Chinatown.

It’s definitely the season for ice cream, and one of the best places to get it on the Old Port is a small ice cream shop and crepe cafe distinguishable by its wooden cut-out of an iconic blonde in a poofy little red and white checkered dress by the door.

I’m happy to report that after multiple satisfying exploratory visits, this little dumpling joint is one of the hidden gems of Chinatown.

During the tourist season, long lines accumulate outside of the door of this centrally located resto, however, as with many things in Old Montreal, it is best enjoyed outside of tourist season, when half-empty.

On top of the history of Montreal – that is, the Pointe-à-Callière – sits a surprisingly good bistro called l’Arrivage.
