A Montreal bachelor party group experiencing the best the city has to offer

Au Pied de Cochon specialties: Piglet roast; foie gras; bison

Why guys love it: Roughly translated, the name means “foot of a pig.” Salad-loving Montreal bachelorette party groups will cringe at some menu items (like pig’s head for 2) but Montreal bachelor party groups will think they’ve gone to meat heaven.

Location: 536 avenue Duluth Est

Le Grain D’or specialties: Couscous; grilled salmon; chorba

Why guys love it: Along with Goree and Au Coin Berbere it’s one of a small number of African restaurants in Montreal. This place won’t just give your Montreal bachelor party group a culinary experience from another country…it will transport you across the world.

Location: 351 avenue Duluth Est

Hotel Majestique summary: 16 one-bedroom suites

Why guys love it: With Wi-Fi, full kitchens, and separate sitting areas in every suite, the phrase “home away from home” describes this property more so than other Montreal hotels. Of course, the girls at home don’t look anything like the Montreal strippers.
