A brass-and-black plaque establishes the 129-room Ritz-Carlton, Montreal<\/a> as a landmark of classic style amid the Golden Square Mile neighborhood’s historic homes. An indoor, rooftop saltwater pool has enviable views across downtown and Mount Royal, while elegant afternoon teas in the ground-floor Palm Court are the 1912 hotel’s genteel hallmark. Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 dining credit.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded “Give Peace a Chance” during a 1969 “bed-in” on the 17th floor of the 950-room, downtown Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth<\/a>. Suite 1742 is still replete with John and Yoko memorabilia, and their bohemian spirit extends to the hotel’s bold colors, modern-art installations, and geometric motifs. Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 dining credit.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
Fitted into a Scottish baron’s stately neoclassical mansion, the 90-room Le Mount Stephen<\/a> retains all of its 1880 grandeur. The hotel’s chandelier-lit, wood-paneled Bar George honors the British roots of George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen, with dishes that include a superb beef Wellington; locals know it for a fine menu of retro cocktails, such as the gin-forward Corpse Reviver No. 2. Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 dining credit.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
Opened in 2019 adjoining luxury department store Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, the 169-room Four Seasons Hotel Montreal<\/a> is all gleaming marble and modernist chic. Swedish American star chef Marcus Samuelsson is behind the hotel’s bar and third-floor Marcus Restaurant + Terrace, where an ocean-inspired menu features a famously sumptuous seafood tower. Virtuoso travelers receive breakfast daily and a $100 dining credit.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Drink<\/span><\/h3>\nWalking past an abandoned malt factory into summer-only Riverside Saint Henri<\/a> is like stumbling upon a secret world – one with a basketball court, an ice-cream truck, and more – within the up-and-coming Saint Henri neighborhood. The hulking, graffitied ruins frame a lushly palm-fringed bar, which draws glittering revelers to sip cucumber-basil gin fizzes and Montréal-made IPAs as DJs spin music.<\/span><\/p>\n
Docked beside the art deco landmark that houses Atwater Market – a stop for fine Québec-made cheese and other gourmet finds – the floating Canal Lounge<\/a> has all the intimate charm of a yacht party. Windows spanning the restored 50-year-old bateau-mouche<\/i> (touring boat) reveal a handful of indoor tables with expansive views across nineteenth-century Lachine Canal, built to bypass the Saint Lawrence River’s powerful Lachine Rapids. The most sought-after seats, however, are in the teensy, greenery-draped rooftop pavilion, where visitors linger over crimson bottles of sangrialike tinto de verano<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>","metaHeadline":"The Best Time to Visit Montréal Is Summer","articleText4":"

The lone global storefront of luxury fashion purveyor Ssense Montréal<\/a> is a five-story heritage building in Old Montréal, its carved-stone facade wrapping a concrete showroom for brands such as Jun Takahashi’s streetwear-inspired Undercover and haute headliners Prada and Givenchy. While displays are highly curated, reservation-only personal styling appointments are the chance to try any item from a vast online catalog.<\/span><\/p>","articleText1":"
There’s no salt air lingering in Montréal<\/a>’s cobblestoned port, but this is an island city nevertheless: Its yacht-lined wharves unfurl into the Saint Lawrence, a forest-filtered river wrapping the 182-square-mile Île de Montréal on its northeasterly way toward the sea. And when summer charges the city with high-latitude euphoria, a waterside perch feels like a spot at the town’s most sparkling fete. A season-long fireworks festival fills sandy Clock Tower Beach with revelers, cyclists skim alongside the Lachine Canal, and surfers catch standing waves backdropped by brutalist architectural masterwork Habitat 67<\/a>. In between, eddies of urban calm prevail. Ferry-turned-floating-spa Bota Bota<\/a>, moored on the riverfront, has a water circuit with views to the downtown skyline.<\/span><\/p>","articleImage2Caption":"

Inspired by eighteenth-century Parisian guinguettes<\/i> – open-air, riverside wine bars – stylish Verdun Beach is an indoor-outdoor hangout in the historic but freshly hip Verdun neighborhood. Sought-after Québécois bottles star on a wine list tailored to summery menus of Canadian oysters and locally sourced small plates. (The restaurant’s namesake beach, a popular sunbathing spot, is an after-dinner stroll away.)<\/span><\/p>\n
Island spirit prevails at intimate Kamúy<\/a>, a Quartier des Spectacles restaurant helmed by Haitian Canadian chef-owner Paul Harry Toussaint. A pan-Caribbean menu changes with the seasons, but mainstays remain, such as Toussaint’s jerk chicken, and ceviche enlivened by Scotch bonnet peppers and yuzu. And while beachy cocktails channel year-round sunshine, true aficionados go in for Kamúy’s eclectic collection of fine rums.<\/span><\/p>\n
In a city captivated by natural wine, intimate Little Burgundy eatery Le Vin Papillon<\/a> offers glasses that surprise, from peach-hued Umbrian macerations to chilled natural Beaujolais. Unpretentious small plates play indulgent counterpoint: Vegetables star, but a mouthful of the restaurant’s jambon blanc<\/i> topped with browned butter and shaved Avonlea cheddar is among Montréal’s signature pleasures.<\/span><\/p>","articleImage1Caption":"

But most seem to know, or at least have a sense, of another intriguing fact: “Montréal has the second-largest number of restaurants per capita in North America (after New York),” Virtuoso advisor Jessie Cassar says. “Montréal is a walkable, loveable city, and a year-round destination thanks to its easy public transportation and underground city system dubbed ‘the RESO’.”<\/p>\n
The U.S.-Canada<\/a> <\/span>border remains closed for now – so all the more time to plan where to go when restrictions ease. From Vieux Montréal district’s cobblestone streets to the friendly, residential Verdun neighborhood, save this list of best places to eat, drink, and shop.<\/p>\n

Halfway between Griffintown and Little Burgundy, the garage-turned-foodie-fav <\/span>Perles et Paddock<\/a> <\/span>churns out brunch like nobody’s business with Dico Pastèque cocktails (gin, Campari, vermouth, and watermelon), lobster rolls, goat-cheese French toast, and breads from artisanal French <\/span>Guillaume bakery<\/a>.

At <\/span>Damas<\/a>, we recommend settling in for the $125 tasting menu for wow-inducing flavors from Syria and the Middle East. Where else can you try marinated lamb with pomegranate molasses and pine nuts, or honey-roasted carrots with grilled halloumi and mint sauce? Dessert: homemade pistachio baklava and chocolate halva cake. (The restaurant is a favorite of another Virtuoso advisor and frequent Montréal visitor, Kathleen Wahab.)<\/p>\n

The North: Hearty and Filling<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\nForests, fjords, and wide-open spaces span the three territories in Canada’s northernmost region: the <\/span>Yukon<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Northwest Territories<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Nunavut<\/span><\/a>. Here in the Arctic, seasons marked by 24 hours of summer daylight and long, dark winters foster a food scene that, by necessity, is as hearty as the folks who call the region home. Ice fishing rewards patience with plentiful Arctic cod and char, which, along with locally sourced big game such as caribou, is known by the Inuit people as “country food.” Pair it with bannock, fried bread with Indigenous origins, for a true Northern meal. <\/span><\/p>\n
Most travelers venturing into these territories do so with a tour operator as part of an adventure-packed, culturally immersive exploration of the region – sharing meals with Indigenous peoples is a perk of the experience. If you’ve got time to explore on your own, seek out <\/span>BonTon & Company<\/span><\/a> in the Yukon’s Dawson City, Yellowknife’s<\/span> Woodyard Brewhouse & Eatery<\/span><\/a>, and Iqaluit’s <\/span>Nunavut Brewing Company<\/span><\/a>, Canada's northernmost brewery.<\/span><\/p>","heroImage2AltText":"An aerial view of Canada's Okanagan Valley, featuring terraced vineyards, lush green trees, and Okanagan Lake.","heroImage3AltText":"Various hands reach for food spread out on a table, including boiled corn, seafood, and more.","metaDescription":"From freshly caught salmon to savory poutine, learn more about Canada\u2019s most famous dishes, and ingredients and the cultures that influence them.","articleText3":"
Central Canada: International Flair and Beloved Icons<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\nToronto<\/span><\/a>’s multicultural scene benefits from <\/span>Ontario<\/span><\/a>’s surrounding agricultural riches and the Niagara and Prince Edward County wine regions. From dim sum to jerk chicken, classic French fare to Peruvian flavors, the array of restaurants reflects the people who call the country’s largest city home. (Toronto was also the first Canadian city to receive a lauded Michelin guide in 2023.) <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
“The chefs and restaurateurs in Toronto are really creative – they’re willing to experiment with different cuisines, establishing a culinary scene that’s constantly evolving,” says Virtuoso travel advisor Shauna Stone. She sends travelers to Michelin-starred <\/span>Edulis<\/span><\/a> in downtown: “It’s a true reflection of elevated Canadian dining that showcases our rich agricultural heritage.”<\/span><\/p>\n
Stone also loves <\/span>Prime Seafood Palace<\/span><\/a>, owned by chef-turned-actor Matty Matheson of <\/span>The Bear<\/span><\/i>, for a classic steakhouse with a twist. Diners can choose to have the prime rib roast, for example, topped with foie gras or Dungeness crab. “Matty is a Toronto icon,” Stone says.<\/span><\/p>\n
From Toronto, head to <\/span>Montréal<\/span><\/a> for the ultimate bagel and poutine pilgrimage. The first stop: <\/span>St-Viateur Bagel<\/span><\/a> for freshly boiled and baked bagels. Some of the city’s best poutine <\/span>–<\/span> french fries and cheese curds topped with brown gravy, a traditional French specialty dating back 400 years <\/span>–<\/span> is from Chez Claudette, a causal Québécois corner spot in Montréal's Mile End neighborhood. From there, it’s only a three-hour drive to <\/span>Québec City<\/span><\/a>. Indulge in even more poutine – and other Québécois favorites such as <\/span>tourtière<\/span><\/i> (meat pie) and foie gras – at <\/span>La Buche<\/span><\/a>, a cozy, sugar-shack-inspired restaurant in Old Québec. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>","metaHeadline":"Our Region-by-Region Guide to Canadian Cuisine","articleText4":"
Atlantic Canada: A Seafood Feast<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\nAs you’d expect, a visit to Canada’s eastern coastal and island Maritime provinces – <\/span>New Brunswick<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Nova Scotia<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Prince Edward Island<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Newfoundland and Labrador<\/span><\/a> – isn’t complete without a sampler of the region’s specialties: lobster, mussels, oysters, clams, and scallops. Casual seaside shacks serve the catches of the day in no-frills fashion, while the region’s fine-dining restaurants pair seafood with vintages from Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, Canada’s oldest wine region. <\/span><\/p>\n
At chef Michael Smith’s FireWorks Feast dinner party on Prince Edward Island, travelers can expect roasted oysters and the catch of the day. (Your Virtuoso travel advisor can secure reservations.) In <\/span>Halifax<\/span><\/a>, the team at <\/span>Highwayman Restaurant and Bar<\/span><\/a> prepares locally sourced Nova Scotian seafood with Spanish flair, including smoked trout rillette and chorizo with mussels and tomato broth.<\/span><\/p>","articleText1":"
Spanning 3.8 million square miles, <\/span>Canada<\/span><\/a>’s varied landscapes yield an abundance of natural ingredients, and the country’s cuisine reflects its rich cultural heritage. Fishers pull lobster traps from the chilly Atlantic off the coast of <\/span>Prince Edward Island<\/span><\/a>, Indigenous communities treasure big game in the country’s northernmost provinces, and Québécois farmers tap the region’s sugar-maple trees for sweet rewards every March and April. The good news for travelers: Canadians are happy to share their bounty, whether it’s on a polished plate in a Michelin-starred institution, fireside during an off-the-grid Arctic adventure, or pulled from the shelf of a rural roadside stand. A true Canadian culinary deep-dive could take a lifetime, but this primer on each region’s defining dishes will set you up for a delicious future endeavor up north.<\/span><\/p>\n
The West Coast: Salmon Reigns Supreme<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\nSalmon is everywhere in <\/span>British Columbia<\/span><\/a>: From the Fraser River to the Pacific Ocean, fishers and fish farmers raise, catch, and sell their prizes to local restaurants and markets. Get familiar with British Columbia’s five types of salmon – sockeye, chinook, pink, chum, and coho – and plan a trip in the summer or fall for prime fishing conditions. For centuries, Indigenous communities in British Columbia have revered chinook and sockeye salmon, celebrating the species’ annual runs up the Fraser and Columbia rivers and relying on the fish in its fresh, smoked, and preserved forms for sustenance. In <\/span>Vancouver<\/span><\/a>, it’s easy to find salmon chowders, burgers, tacos, and sashimi, but for something more unexpected, head to the local Indigenous-owned restaurant, <\/span>Salmon n’ Bannock<\/span><\/a>, for candied salmon, which is smoked, peppered, and drizzled with maple syrup.<\/span><\/p>\n
“British Columbia’s culinary scene excels at integrating traditional Indigenous foods with contemporary styles and global flavors,” says Virtuoso travel advisor Dana Johnstone. “It’s vibrant and fresh, and a great example of Pacific Northwest cuisine.”<\/span><\/p>\n
With fertile soil and a more temperate climate than Canada’s other regions, British Columbia is also home to a flourishing wine industry, centered around the <\/span>Okanagan Valley<\/span><\/a>. Head to <\/span>Mission Hill Family Estate<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Quails' Gate winery<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>Burrowing Owl Estate Winery<\/span><\/a> to sample syrah, chardonnay, and sparking rosé. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>","articleImage2Caption":"

The Prairies: Fresh from the Ranch <\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\nHome to more than 18,000 cattle and bison ranches and rolling expanses of grain fields backed by bluebird skies, Canada’s Prairie provinces – <\/span>Alberta<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Saskatchewan<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Manitoba<\/span><\/a> – are agricultural powerhouses. Wheat, oat, barley, and rye crops become bread loaves, crackers, beer, and pasta, and are exported to other parts of the country. Wild blueberries, huckleberries, currants, strawberries, and cranberries thrive in Alberta’s temperate climate in late summer, and travelers can forage for them in forests, meadows, and along riverbanks, and taste the region’s bounty via farm-to-table dining.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Prairies’ food scene is a love letter to all things local: In <\/span>Winnipeg<\/span><\/a>, the menu at <\/span>Deer + Almond<\/span><\/a> features fresh berries, northern Manitoba pickerel, and desserts such as burnt toast and malt ice cream topped with port-stewed berries. <\/span>Hearth<\/span><\/a> in Saskatoon showcases Saskatchewan staples (pike, potatoes, and honey) through dishes such as potato doughnuts, pike conserva, and honey-glazed carrots.
