We went to Schwartz's our first day for lunch after hiking all over Mount Royal for the morning. Pretty delicious. I had Poutine twice - the better was at Montreal Poutine on Saint Paul street in old Montreal.

Cigar club bars try this http://www.whiskycafe.com/fr_home.html
We went to Whisky Cafe on Friday night - I had a HdM Corona, some Laphroaig and a Belle Gueule rousse.

We went to Stogies one afternoon but weren't in the mood for a martini so didn't stay for very long - looks like an awesome place for an evening though. Vieux-Montreal was great, and we ate several meals down there outdoors. On Saturday we headed to Quebec City which was pretty fantastic as well - saw all the sites and really enjoyed old Quebec.

Thanks again for the advice, guys!
