🚗 Toronto to Montreal Road Trip Guide
🏨 Hotel Review: DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal Location: A bit tricky for first-timers—from the parking garage, take the elevator to the mall food court, then follow signs to the hotel’s second elevator up to the 6th-floor lobby. Perks: Fun lobby amenities (pool table, AR experience zone). Warm cookie at check-in (so good!). Rooms are clean and quiet. ⚠️ Note: Most North American hotels don’t provide toothpaste/toothbrushes. 🚶 Citywalk & Dining Friend-Approved Sunset Spot: A stunning church (but my family wandered Mount Royal instead—views must’ve been nice!). Dinner at Weinstein & Gavino’s (Italian): Friend’s top pick—chill, casual, and delicious. Ordered Caesar salad, Carbonara pasta, and a pizza (forgot the name). $60/person, leftovers packed for my brother. Bonus: Lots of hot waiters? 😏 Montrealers > Torontonians in looks (French genes?). ✨ Must-See: Notre-Dame Basilica AURA Show $150 for 3 adults + 1 student. Skeptical at first ("We’ve seen light shows in China!"), but absolutely mesmerized—music + visuals = magical. 🌉 Old Port & Chinatown Old Port Ferris Wheel & Streets: Pretty but not super exciting (great for photos though!). F1 Store: Racing fans (like my brother) will love it. Lunch at Keung Kee in Chinatown: Must-order: Typhoon Shelter Lobster & seafood. $260 pre-tax for 4 (including two big eaters!). Final Thoughts: Montreal = great food, hot people, stunning lights. Worth the drive! #TorontoToMontreal #TravelCanada #MontrealEats #RoadTripVibes
