Guidebook for Montréal
Food Scene
Our Neighbours are possibly the coolest Restaurant in Montreal. Ask for Tim the owner and tell him you are staying at Nelson's next door. Great celebrity chef Chuck Hughes in this laidback unpretentious local celebrity hang out. Reservations are a must 2 seatings per night and the bar is always open for a signature cocktail and what is going on in the neighbourhood. My favourite spot in Old Montreal. 4 doors down in the basement no sign.
