Food is okay as long as you don't stray too far from their specialities (i.e. crepes), but the ambiance and atmosphere is unbeatable. A semi-closed terrace with beautiful lighting and decor and live jazz every night. In the heart of Old Montreal. They don't take reservations and can be very busy at peak times, so I would recommend stopping by for a later dinner (8:30).

Sightseeing

Awesome bike/pedestrian path. Best place to start is at Atwater Market. You can rent a bike and get to Old Montreal in 20 minutes. Really great views of the Montreal skyline. Also a nice place to stop for a picnic - grab some local artisan food from Atwater Market, a bottle of wine from the SAQ, and find a place along the canal to enjoy.
