Food Scene
Pretty decent portugese grills that is a five minute drive. For $27.99 plus taxes, you can get a take out family meal (excludes beverages). Not ideal for sitting in - tables are very few.

Getting Around
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
5403 Boul. Saint-LaurentThis is the closest metro station that can take you easily into downtown Montreal. The bus 109 is steps away from our door. However, less frequent and longer. If you walk to Newman, you will find more frequent buses that will take to you to Angrignon station in less than 10 minutes. I have taken this route personally and love it.
Station Angrignon (des Trinitaires / Lamont)
This is the closest metro station that can take you easily into downtown Montreal. The bus 109 is steps away from our door. However, less frequent and longer. If you walk to Newman, you will find more frequent buses that will take to you to Angrignon station in less than 10 minutes. I have taken this route personally and love it.
Take buses 106, 109, 350, 406 in the east direction towards Station Angrignon. So fast during the rush hour times! 5 minute wait and a 7 minute ride to the station. So convenient for festivals and going downtown.
Newman / Shevchenko station
Take buses 106, 109, 350, 406 in the east direction towards Station Angrignon. So fast during the rush hour times! 5 minute wait and a 7 minute ride to the station. So convenient for festivals and going downtown.
From our condo to downtown, it is approximately $20 according to the internet. By taxi, it is about $30.
To go to the airport, it would be about $25 to $30.
Of course, these are just estimates and approximations. You would have to speak with Uber or a taxi and we can never guess about construction or traffic delays
