Montreal is a foodie\u2019s dream<\/a> that’s also an easy trip from NYC via Amtrak. There\u2019s truly something for every taste bud under the sun in Montreal. The city\u2019s French influence adds to its culinary desirability. From crepes to chocolate croissants and fondue, you can go from breakfast to lunch into dinner with French food as your guide, or you can deviate from the menu and experience other types of food. Here\u2019s our list of where to go on your 24-hour gourmet getaway.<\/p>\n

Breakfast:<\/strong> Beauty\u2019s Luncheonette<\/h2>\n

\"beauty's

Lunch:<\/strong> Jean-Talon Market<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"jean-talon

Venture about a block away to El Rey del Taco<\/a> for authentic Mexican food. They make their own tortilla chips and a hot bowl of spicy soup that will keep you toasty in the coldest of temperatures.<\/p>\n

Afternoon Snack:<\/strong> Juliette & Chocolat<\/a> or Creperie Chez Suzette<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Juliette

If you are in the old part of town, head to Creperie Chez Suzette on 3 Rue Saint Paul E for their fondue. Try cheese if you\u2019ve already had chocolate, opt for a crepe or simply defrost with a cup of cocoa.<\/p>\n

Dinner: <\/strong>L\u2019Express<\/a><\/h2>\n

L\u2019Express is perfect for dinner. This trendy establishment\u2019s mirrored dining room has a European vibe. The menu offers the Francophile a wide selection of options including bone marrow with coarse salt, warm goat cheese salad, or duck foie gras as a starter. For the main course, try the quiche, cold roast beef, beef stew, steak tartare, or shrimp risotto. For dessert, the rum baba, house truffle, or a lemon or chocolate tart are sure things.<\/p>\n

Getting to Montreal from NYC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amtrak\u2019s Adirondack whisks you through the Hudson Valley before hugging the shoreline of Lake Champlain, providing passengers with some of the most dramatic scenery in the Northeast. The journey to Montreal takes just under eleven hours.<\/p>\n
