Montreal is a lovely city but it's not quite the glitzy place that New York, Los Angeles or Las Vegas is. Indeed, the nature of the city seems pretty modest and egalitarian, and I love Montreal for it. But one of the stereotypes of our hobby is big shots treating ladies to luxury experiences a la Richard Gere and Julia Roberts' 1990 film "Pretty Woman," so what kind of experiences like that are available in town, in which you've been the treater or the treatee, or is that also not in the spirit of the city and its sex scene?
Montreal has a fair amount of decent hotels, a Four Seasons, a Ritz-Carlton and a Fairmount. But the restaurants don't seem astronomical: Joe Beef and Toque are high-end but not completely ridiculous and inaccessible to middle class diners in the way that Per Se or Le Bernardin in NYC might be. As far as steakhouses go, I've only been to Moishes, are more show-offy places? Shopping too, there are lots of cute boutiques in the Plateau, but is there anywhere in Montreal for a LA-style Rodeo Drive or Chicago Magnificent Mile experience?
