    Eat

    The Latin Quartier is packed two and three-stories deep with budget and mid-ranged restaurants catering to students and tourists. The quality can be all over the place, but the portions usually generous. Beer is more common than wine and be sure to check if the mid and high-end place you're dining at is BYOB (''Apportez Votre Vins'').

    Splurge

    Drink

  • SAT. ociete des arts technologiques. 195 boulevard Saint-Laurent. etro Saint-Laurent. 1-514-844-2033. at@sat.qc.ca. on-Fri 5PM-10PM, Sat-Sun various. ttp://www.sat.qc.ca/. 4.50 draft beer, $5 well drinks, $5-25 cover after 10PM. This one-of-a-kind venue is supported by the province of Quebec and the federal government to display and promote digital art. With high ceilings and low couches, it has the feel of a funky, uber-hip techno club. In fact, there is quite a bit of great club music on weekend nights. But there's also fascinating computer art installations going on at all times, with some video and live performances. A great place to meet people in Montreal.

  • Pub Sainte-Elisabeth. 412 rue Sainte-Elisabeth. etro Saint-Laurent. Best terrasse for a drink. Feels like a greenhouse.

  • Foufounes Electriques. 7 rue Sainte-Catherine Est. etro Saint-Laurent. 14-844-5539. PM-3AM every day. ttp://www.foufounes.qc.ca/. 3 draft beer, $4 well drinks. The name is a never ending source of comedy for Montrealers and visitors alike, chiefly because of the stark difference in meaning between the French and French-Canadian interpretations of the term "foufounes." To locals, i.e. French-Canadians, the term is simply an endearing reference to one's posterior. However, to the French, the term is a rather explicit reference to female genitalia, which is always worth a few laughs, especially with the "electric" adjective attached. But "les Foufs," as it's called by locals, is more than just a funny name: it's ground zero for Montreal's rock-and-roll scene. The cavernous bar hosts shows from local bands as well as lots of touring shows from around the globe. Reasonable prices and a down-to-earth attitude make Foufounes popular with residents and visitors alike.

  • Bar St-Sulpice. 680 rue Saint-Denis. etro Berri-Uqam. 14-844-9458. A large bar with three floors, each with a separate vibe. If the weather is nice, you should sit in the sprawling patio in the back.

  • L'Amere a Boire. 049 rue Saint-Denis. etro Sherbrooke. 14-282-7448. Fine brew pub in the Quartier Latin, the beer is consistently good. On the menu: lagers and ales inspired from Czech, German, and English styles. Nice decor with wooden tables.

  • Le Cheval Blanc. 09 rue Ontario Est. etro Sherbrooke. 14-522-0211. Good brewpub located a few blocks East of busy rue Saint-Denis.

  • Cafe Hookah. 699 St-Denis. etro Berri Uqam. 14-287-7266. Smoking fruit-flavoured tobacco in an Arabic water pipe, while sipping a Grand Marnier is a fine way to spend the evening. A pipe is $6.50, you can smoke it alone or share it with a few people. They won't replace the coal though, so a pipe doesn't last very long, but they justify this by saying it makes it (comparatively) cheap to sample lots of flavours from their extensive menu.
