Also serves nachos, quesadillas, tacos, and burritos - quality ingredients and sauces.]]></description>

It's a big room with comfortable individual viewing stations, where, for a very cheap price, you can choose to watch films/shorts/newsreels/anything from the NFBs entire selection for a few hours.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Sushi Depanneur has got to be unique among sushi restaurants, not only in Montreal. Only here will you get to eat delicious fresh sushi at affordable prices in the shop window of a corner store! It perfectly captures the beauty of unpretentious Montreal.<br><br>The restaurant is on Rue Mont Royal, and the street in itself is worth a visit: little shops jostle for space with a multitude of bars and restaurants, all in the middle of one of Montreal's oldest quartiers, the Plateau Mont Royal - which incidentally is the neighbourhood with the highest population density in all of North America. Look out for the colourfully painted houses with winding outdoors staircases.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Beauty's is an original diner set behind Mont Royal.  Beauty's has by far the best breakfast in Montreal, possibly the best breakfast in the Western Hemisphere! The food is gorgeous and there is always a queue outside on a Sunday with Montrealers and tourists alike queuing for Sunday Brunch. Not to be missed is their toasted bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese and there are always free refills on coffee.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The frendliest, tastiest, cheapest sushi in montreal, it looks a bit dodgy from the outside, with odd Chistmas lights and palm trees in the window, but the sushi and service are amazing, we never spent more than $40 for two, and we eat a LOT. And everytime we went they gave us a few free samples and a delicious tempura banana for pudding.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Boustan is my fave place for lebanese wraps in Montreal. It's the perfect place to get a bite to eat after a night of partying on Crescent Street  (they're busiest at 3am). Their shish-taouks are fantastic. Made with garlic mayo, pickled turnips, the entire wrap is fire roasted before being served. A real cheap eat as well at about C$4 each.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I've stayed at this place a few times, and always had a positive experience. It's moderately priced and in the downtown core. Rooms are generously sized, well maintained, and feature kitchenettes. The decor is simple but not in a distracting way. A particularly good place for families to stay. Close to the metro, lots of shopping, as well as culture and nightlife.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[For a taste of romantic Vieux Montreal, this is the place to stay. A converted 18th-century fur factory, the auberge’s huge rooms have thick stone walls, hardwood floors, marble baths and lots of antiques, and there’s an art gallery in the lobby. Atmospheric down to the freshly-baked croissants.<br>Rooms from C$115 a night]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Throughout the summer months pick-up games of beach volleyball are ongoing at the bottom of Parc Jeanne Mance. You can come alone and join a game, or show up with a group of friends. Games only cost a couple of dollars. It's very friendly, usually sun-drenched, and a great place for people watching to boot!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A great little lunch place on rue Saint Pierre which has all the feel of a sit down restaurant at cafeteria prices, ranging from 8-12 dollars. Not worth going to visit on its own, but a great place to recuperate at lunchtime if you are visiting the old town]]></description>
