                <description><![CDATA[Many Montreal restaurants don't have a license to serve wine, but this is a good thing, because you can bring your own and there's no corkage.  Combined with the competitive Montreal restaurant market, it makes for a cheap way to eat and drink very well.  Look for restaurants with the sign "Apportez Votre Vin".  <br><br>Wine can be bought at one of Quebec's SAQ (Societe des Alcools du Quebec) stores or at a depanneur (corner store).]]></description>

                <title>Les Trois Brasseurs</title>

                <description><![CDATA[Les Trois Brasseurs is a wonderful brew-pub with all the shiny copper brewing paraphenalia in situ. The interior is enormous as is the warm North American welcome. Lots of bar-stools lots of tables and chairs, good music and the custromers are chatty, not exhibiting the normal big city paranoia.<br><br>Apparently there are three such Trois Brasseurs so they are not exactly a chain. I discovered the bar in the depths of last winter, minus 20°. Talk about coming in from the cold! Anyway there were their own three draught beers on offer blonde-bitter, brune-mild and rousse-amber. I would have tasted the lot a few times each but my better half put the brakes on.<br><br>Women would be at ease on their own there as it is very cosmopolitan quite different than the average bloke's tavern.<br>Be warned the stools and seats are very comfortable...it is very hard to leave especially in January.]]></description>
