Montreal, Quebec - Random downtown shots

#1 Posted **Aug 24, 2009, 1:01 AM**

I have a lot of pictures from my trip to Montreal (181 to be exact), so this doesn't focus on any particular district. Just some random photos from around the downtown area.

View of my hotel

View from my window

New development

Nice view!

Entrace to le Quarter Chinois

Some new development

Another skyline shot

Some Montreal grit

View from Mont Royal. Too bad it was pouring rain.

Concordia

Beautiful contrast of old and new

Peel Street

View when leaving Montreal on highway 20

Last, but certainly not least.

Nice pictures. Even the fast food place at the end is interesting, just because it's something that I've never heard of.

The «Fast food» is in fact is «Rôtisserie St-Hubert» witch is a real institution in Quebec. The first restaurant began on St-Hubert street in Montreal (in the fifties?..) and that's why it's called like that. However, today they are everywhere in Québec (and maybe outside, I don't know)

It's not really a fast food restaurant, since you can have a real and complete meal, served by a waitress, in real dishes, in a comfortable ambiance.

Their main dishe is chicken and they deliver.

Thanks you for the tour. Nice shot of the Bank of Toronto building.

Thanks for the photos!

There's a couple of St. Hubert's in Ontario, but only along the Quebec-Ontario border as far as I know (I think I found one in Cornwall). They used to be all over the place in southern Ontario but they closed up and left.

It was a good alternative to La Swisse.

My parents used to live in Montreal before they got married. Reportedly, St. Hubert is like the Quebecois version of Swiss Chalet.
