Plan an amazing trip to Canada

Maple syrup, smoked salmon and ice wine are great souvenirs to bring back from Canada, Inuit and Indian crafts also make beautiful decorative items.

Canadian cuisine is very tasty and as diverse as its population. Indeed, there is a big gastromonic gap between the East and the West. Regional specialties include Alberta beef and bison, which are intended to be tender and tasty, as well as salmon, halibut and grilled or fried seafood in British Columbia. In the East, you will mainly find bagels (especially in Montreal), cretons (a forcemeat-style pork spread) and of course Poutine: delicious French fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. Note that there are many different variations, with more than thirty in some restaurants in Montreal. In Saint Jean, make sure to taste the hearty tourtières. To end on a sweet note, head to a sugar shack where you can taste maple syrup, but where you can also enjoy bacon, beans, sugar pies or maple taffies! Side note: you can easily find vegan and vegetarian food in Canada. As for drinks, do not forget to take a sip of Clamato, a tomato and clam juice, which are usually served with celery or green beans soaked in vinegar. The most famous Canadian wine is "ice wine". Beer is also very popular, Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue are the most common, and tastes even better when enjoy in a country bar, to really soak up the western atmosphere of Alberta. Beer lovers will be delighted by the many microbreweries that offer a wide range of refreshing drinks.
