Formula 1 Race in Montreal

Posted by (Virginia) on

I'm interested in any information anyone can give regarding traveling and visiting Montreal including accommodations, dining, sites to see, and any suggestions associated with attending the Formula One race. My family of five will be traveling in May for the race, which will be running for three days over the weekend (mid-month). My kids range in ages from 16 - 22. My 16 yo son is a huge F1 race fan, so this is going to be a very exciting trip for us!

We are a pretty adventurous bunch and would love to spend a few days prior to the race weekend exploring Montreal. We've never been so are open to any advice! Thanks!

My family stayed at Hotel Bonaventure Montréal which had large rooms (ours had a view of a duck pond), was very reasonably priced, had a great pool and was conveniently located right above a metro station.

Restaurant recommendations: Olive et Gourmando for lunch while visiting Old Town/Notre Dame. L'Express for lunch or dinner (they give you mini pickles on the table instead of bread). Schwartz's Deli is as close as you'll get to an old school NYC deli. Gibeau Orange Julep is like the original Orange Julius. Jean Talon Market. St. Viateur Bagels.

Hike up Mount Royal. We probably spent most of our time east of Mt Royal exploring Mile End.
