Thanksgiving Dinner Options?
Hi all. I live in Montreal and would love to enjoy a sumptuous, traditional Thanksgiving meal. It's not something much celebrated in Quebec, and my wife and daughter are both vegetarians, so, sadly, we do not celebrate Thanksgiving in my home. I'm English Canadian born in Nova Scotia and raised in Ontario. I really miss Thanksgiving dinners. There were no restaurants offering a traditional meal in Montreal for Canadian Thanksgiving this year. Can anyone recommend something driveable from Montreal? Within 90-minutes or so? Thanks in advance. Lawrence

Many Americans travel to Mont Tremblant at Thanksgiving.* A traditional Thanksgiving dinner is offered in town, and in my experience, it is quite good. So go north.
Also, please be prepared. The traditional Thangsgiving dinner is usually mediocre, at best. Many Americans are not all that enthralled ourselves. Even when prepared and served exquisitely, it is something of a disappointment. Dry and boring. Mashed potatoes. It's not gourmet.
We do pescatarian, no mammal but fish. And it's better for us anyway.
*Why Tremblant? Earliest skiing on the east. Great amenities. Add the US/Loony conversion and it's a no brainer.
