BURGER ROYAL
3820 Boul. Saint-LaurentI had one of the best vegan burger there.
They have the best vegetarian dishes. I like to take their poutine and nachos. The Lola Rosa on Milton street is not as good as the one near the mountain.

If you are in Quebec, getting the iconic dish "poutine" is a must and this is where you should taste your first. It has long waiting lines sometimes, because it is that good. When I went, however, there was no line, so it is all about going there at a less busy time.

This is a very small authentic Japanese restaurant that can fit at most 15-20 people. They have weird opening hours, so it is best to double-check at their door. It is also wise to wait in line 30 minutes (no more no less) before opening times to guarantee a seat.

If you are near Marché Jean-Talon, you should pass by this Vietnamese place that serves the best vegetarian pho I have ever tasted. Their subs are also very popular. Since it is a small business, the opening hours are relatively short.

There is an underground passage that goes from Bonaventure (Gare Centrale) to Palais Des Congres or Place-d'Armes metro station. The tunnels have a contemporary design that decorate your walk very nicely. I would ask the locals or the metro station workers how to access the underground tunnels.
