For an authentic Montreal experience venture off the beaten path and explore the Plateau Mont-Royal district. This bohemian enclave, characterized by charming low-rise buildings with wrought-iron spiral staircases, affords an enchanting glimpse into the lives of native Montrealers and is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of well-travelled tourist areas such as St. Catherine and Crescent Street. Chic shops and tantalizing restos abound on St. Laurent, otherwise known as “the main,” and nearby Prince-Arthur (a pedestrian-only street) is the perfect spot for a romantic candlelit dinner pour deux. Bonus: in Montreal many restaurants allow you to bring your own wine! Looking for a sweet sleep in the vicinity? We recommend the Opus Montreal (opushotel.com), a sleek boutique hotel that effortlessly combines old and new: 136 ultramodern, well-appointed guest rooms are housed in a heritage building that dates back to 1914. Book the Romance package for the ultimate honeymoon experience, complete with Moet Chandon, chocolates and late checkout.
