The blue-and-gold showstopper — plenty of seating inside to sit and take it in. ~$16 entry, worth every dollar.
Four ecosystems under one roof, fully indoor and easy walking. The penguins steal the show.
Stick to the Chinese and Japanese gardens plus the main greenhouse — the grounds are huge, and that's the highlights tour. Combo pass covers Biodome too.
Casual fresh-pasta spot with excellent vegetarian plates — the truffle and pesto pastas are the picks.
Eat at this food hall in the RÉSO, then wander the tunnels — 33 km of city under the city, and totally unique to Montreal.
A flat stroll along the St. Lawrence — the easiest, most pleasant walk in the city.
Take a taxi (or bus 11) up Camillien-Houde — zero climbing — and the whole city is laid out below. Best in late-afternoon light; the chalet has a café and washrooms.
Indian fusion in Griffintown with strong vegetarian options — paneer tikka and veg biryani are the standouts.
