Food
Quebec and Montr茅al have some unique dishes which should not be missed during your stay!
: what may be Quebec鈥檚 signature dish! Poutine is french fries, gravy and cheese curds in a messy pile. Even the New York Times has celebrated the arrival of poutine to some other major cities outside of Canada. There are gourmet versions available, but for the poutine-newbie, the traditional take on this Quebec dish is recommended.
: New York isn鈥檛 the only city with famous bagels! Montreal bagels are different from their cousins south of the border. They are smaller and denser than a New York bagel and should definitely not be missed.
: made by pouring still hot, boiled maple syrup into the snow to form a soft chewy taffy-like candy.
: 罢辞耻谤迟颈猫谤别 is a traditional Qu茅b茅cois meat pie. The fillings vary, but it often involves minced pork, beef, or wild game. The pies are sold in grocery stores across Quebec.
