This sanctuary (free entrance) is one of the world’s
most visited centres of pilgrimage! The basilica’s
huge dome reaches 97 meters and is second only in
height to Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Saint
Brother André, a humble doorkeeper, inspired its
construction in 1904. Dedicated to Saint Joseph,
the shrine includes among other things, the small
original chapel, a votive chapel, a crypt church, the
Basilica and the gardens. Its magnificent organs
and its carillon composed of 56 bells give audible
testament to the world’s great composers. The
Museum of Saint Joseph’s Oratory (fees applicable)
is well-known for its multicultural collection of
some 200 nativity scenes on permanent exhibition.

Sushi Momo is my new absolute favorite place to eat sushi! Every vegan bite is a heavenly experience. And when I say it's the best, I don't mean compared to other vegan sushi, I mean compared to any other sushi I've had in Montreal (or elsewhere, for that matter). You can't just eat and go; no, you absolutely have to stop, close your eyes, and appreciate the different flavors and textures, and how they combine. I've gone twice and have been blown away both times! The place is a little small and stuffy though, but they compensate nicely with lots of wood, plants and eclectic Asian art. Be sure to make a reservation well in advance, especially on the weekend.

Built in 1923-24 to plans by Montréal architect
Joseph-Raoul Gariepy, the Rialto is inspired by Le
Palais Garnier (Opéra de Paris). The building
comprises several rooms and activities include
concerts, theatre, cinema, dance performances,
exhibitions, and private events, all in a lush
environment that boasts marble staircases,
painted ceilings, gilded moldings, and a Tiffany
stained-glass dome. *** One of the last great movie palace theatres in Eastern Canada. It was once falling apart, but it has been lovingly restored and now hosts shows of various sorts. If you happen by and they're open but don't have an event going on, see if you can invited in for a quick tour; it's well worth it.

The Mount Royal Cross is a monument on top of Mount Royal. It stands at the northeastern peak of the mountain and overlooks the eastern part of the island. *** Very nice place to see and enjoy with friends and family. Nice view of the city and at night the cross is lighting up! Must see at Mont Royal!!!
