We loved our first stay in Montreal at Marilou's apartment. So close to the Metro, shops and dining. St Joseph's Oratory is an easy 20 minute walk with restaurants and shops along the way. I recommend Duc de Lorraine for brunch! It was a little pricey but the outdoor café' ambiance, wonderful menu options and excellent service was worth the money...come hungry! The bagels every morning and sometimes in the evening ;-) were an nice added touch provided by Marilou to give you the Montreal experience. Cozy, comfortable and clean...we couldn't have asked for more!
