As French culture and traditions have played such a large role in shaping Montreal, Quebec, visitors to the city who are looking for a bite to eat can expect to find dishes like Crème brûlée and escargots on various restaurant menus. However, those who are not ready to sample snails may want to try one of the dishes Montreal is famous for.

When one thinks of French cuisine, hot dogs typically don’t come to mind. However, Quebec’s largest city is exactly where travelers will be able to purchase a Montreal hot dog. Hungry visitors will receive a dog and a bun loaded with mustard, relish, sauerkraut and chopped onion.

Any travelers who are having a tough time tracking these hot dogs down may want to refer to them by their nickname – "steamies."

Something else that may appeal to Montreal-bound meat lovers is the city’s famous smoked meat. Once their train tours of Canada make a stop in Montreal, travelers can head to the nearest deli and sample a few slices of this salty and spicy beef on rye.
