What to watch, where to eat, and why this city makes the Canadian Grand Prix unlike any other stop on the F1 calendar.
As Quebec’s second Michelin Guide approaches, longtime critic Lesley Chesterman questions whether the city’s restaurants are built for what the guide rewards—and what chasing stars really costs.
With 28 restaurants on the 2026 list, the city outpaces the rest of the country (yup, Toronto and Vancouver included).
Built from scratch in a Kirkland strip mall, La Tratt has spent 20 years playing the long game to earn loyalty, and it shows.
From cider crawls and kimono parades to DJ-fuelled Sundays and neighbourhood street festivals—Montreal in May doesn’t slow down.
A complete guide to the neighbourhood that launched a thousand opinions (and earned every one of them).
Outside the orbit of Drag Race and touring headliners, Montreal's indie drag scene puts experimentation over polish, blending theatre, burlesque, and performance art.

The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.
From horror films and roller derby docs to Japan Week and a Griffintown block party: April 30 to May 3, 2026.
Where to be, what to see, and how to make the most of the city's first-ever design week.
Eight Montreal bars cracked the top 50. One took the whole thing.
Kristoffer Borgli's dark comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson makes the audience complicit as their relationship falls apart.
Club Pays, the first sovereigntist café in Quebec, creates a gathering space on Plaza Saint-Hubert for sovereigntists (and anyone curious enough to walk in).
China's food culture never stopped evolving. Montreal's did. These are the chefs closing the gap.
From spontaneous public life to decades of cultural investment, a case for Montreal as a global placemaking capital—and what it will take to keep it.
