Not your typical Thanksgiving fare in Montreal

Let’s face it, we’re only happy about Thanksgiving because we get a day off from work! It’s not a big holiday like our neighbours to the south but that doesn’t mean we can’t go out and celebrate with a good meal and a fun experience. Here are some fun Montreal alternatives to the traditional turkey dinner. We’re thankful that we live in Montreal with all of these amazing restaurants!

More from Montreal Food Divas

The Food Divas have been frequenting Montreal restaurants onThursdays since 2011. Montreal is known for its French cuisine (and we love our tartare), so we tend to go to French restaurants. In some (most) circles, we are known for causing trouble, therefore, our Thursday nights are reserved for plotting, drinking (getting tipsy) and eating great food (gluttonous indulgence) with great company (an unholy alliance).

Eat your greens! Montreal’s best salads

Opting to have a salad used to mean that you were on a diet, but not anymore! Today there are so many unique combinations and eating salad is now about satisfying a craving, not going on a diet. We love clean eating when it tastes good! [image creditl: iStockphoto]

Treat mom to a great dinner

When we think of Mother’s Day we tend to think of brunch, but plenty of mothers would rather go out for dinner! These restaurants are open on Sunday nights, including Mother’s Day, and vary from French, to Italian, to Syrian, to Spanish and more. There is something for every mother and their finicky palate![image credit: iStock]

Where to take Mom for Mother’s Day brunch

If there’s anyone who deserves to be spoiled, it’s our mothers! They take care of us all the time so it’s only fitting that we take at least one day a year and make it all about them. And there’s no better way to start than by treating mom to a fabulous brunch. Here are some restaurants around Montreal that will be serving a special Mother’s Day Brunch.[image credit: iStock]
