š Toronto to Montreal Road Trip Guide
šØ Hotel Review: DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal Location: A bit tricky for first-timersāfrom the parking garage, take the elevator to the mall food court, then follow signs to the hotelās 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. ā ļø Note: Most North American hotels donāt provide toothpaste/toothbrushes. š¶ Citywalk & Dining Friend-Approved Sunset Spot: A stunning church (but my family wandered Mount Royal insteadāviews mustāve been nice!). Dinner at Weinstein & Gavinoās (Italian): Friendās top pickāchill, 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? š Montrealers > Torontonians in looks (French genes?). ⨠Must-See: Notre-Dame Basilica AURA Show $150 for 3 adults + 1 student. Skeptical at first ("Weāve seen light shows in China!"), but absolutely mesmerizedāmusic + visuals = magical. š 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
