Olive et Gourmando (family lunch in Old Montreal)

Old Montreal · Café / bakery · $$

Old Montreal is a minefield of bad tourist lunches, and this is the one genuinely good spot — pressed sandwiches, real pastries, and grilled-cheese-style options kids accept. The catch is the line, so go before noon or after 1:30 with kids, or grab it to go and eat by the waterfront. The pastries double as the treat.

The bakery-café that saves Old Montreal from tourist-trap lunches — great pressed sandwiches and pastries, with options kids will actually eat. Go off-peak.
