If You’ve Only Got 48 Hours in Montreal, Here’s What You’ll Want to See

It was only a matter of time.

Between the two of us itching to travel together, plus the fact that most of our friends had visited Montreal and raved about it, it was only natural that Mr. Five O’Clock and I selected our Northern neighbor for a quick weekend getaway. We quickly fell in love with Québec’s metropolis, replete with food and drink that left our tastebuds dancing like jitterbugs and architecture that left our minds reeling.

If you only have 48 hours to spend in Canada’s second largest city, make it a priority to hit these picturesque places. Trust me: you’ll leave with drool worthy Instagram pics and a satisfied stomach!

Montreal, I’ve got to hand it to you: I had no idea that the caliber of your watering holes (not to mention your food) was so high. Here we are, sitting in New York City after a fantastic whirlwind getaway to Québec’s metropolis last weekend, and all Mr. Five O’Clock and I can think about is how soon we can return to your charming city to revisit our favorite spots and scout out new ones.

While there’s no doubt that our current residence will always have a new, hot “bar of the moment” to try, there’s something really exciting about a city that hasn’t been overrun with dozens of speakeasies and can hold its own in the world of excellent microbrews. If you find yourself up in the Great White North with a hankering for some booze, here are the top spots to grab a drink in Montreal right now.
