Breakfast - Quebec City & Montreal

[drbelfer]

Will be visiting both QC and Montreal for a few days in April. Traveling with wife and teenage daughter. I am looking for suggestions on breakfast places in both cities - nothing too over the top, but something good, reasonably affordable, interesting (to funky is alright).

We typically enjoy something unusual, something typcially local.

Would also enjoy suggestions on crepe places, and dinner restaurants.

Appreciate any suggestions as I have not been to QC and long ago to Montreal

There are a ton of great breakfast places in Montreal. Since you mentioned "something unusual" I'd probably first steer you to Byblos, a Persian place (1499, Laurier Est) that has a great brunch/breakfast.

For local, I'd suggest you get yourself to a sugar shack (cabane à sucre) depending when in April you'll be here (I think the season ends sometime that month). It's a one-of-a-kind experience for breakfast/brunch that you won't find anywhere else. There's a directory of sugar shacks at Bonjour Quebec, the provincial tourism site: http://www.bonjourquebec.com/qc-en/er...

You could even schedule the sugaring-off visit somewhere between Quebec & Montreal if you're driving.

Have a great trip!
