MontrAİalers conduct much of their business and their social lives in the city's
eating places
, and MontrAİal food is as varied as its population, ranging from the rich meat dishes of typical QuAİbAİcois cuisine to bagels bursting with cream cheese. Masses of restaurants line the area around rue
Ste-Catherine
downtown, though American fast-food chains seem to be taking over, while
Vieux-MontrAİal
has an ever-expanding number of places to eat, though here most are touristy and slightly overpriced. The best for food, and upbeat atmosphere, is in the more French area of the metropolis, around the
Plateau
and
Quartier Latin
. MontrAİal comes a close second to New York as the
bagel
capital of the world, and they are sold everywhere from grimy outlets to stylish cafAİs - particularly delicious when fresh, warm and crammed with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon).
For those on a
tight budget
the delis, diners and cafAİs are perfect, and if you're really broke the so-called pizza war downtown has got slices of pizza down to 99A?.

establishments, of which there are many on rue Prince Arthur and ave Duluth, are the cheaper restaurant alternatives. Other useful information
