The best souvenirs remind us of the memories of our vacation. Keep reading to see which Montreal Souvenir you should bring home! Also, most of these mementos are easy and light to transport in your luggage.
It should be noted that 80% of the worlds maple syrup is produced in Canada, with 70% coming from Quebec alone! With this in mind, maple syrup is a must buy while in Montreal. Furthermore, choosing a maple syrup can be a bit difficult. Note that lighter syrup tastes delicately sweet, followed by amber syrup which is more robust in flavour. Finally, dark maple syrup is the strongest, it is bold but also perfectly sweetened. Consequently, whichever you choose, know that your waffles, pancakes, and maple covered bacon will be all the more delicious!
No matter where you travel, buying local is a great way to support businesses. Furthermore, while visiting Montreal, stop into Atelier B to grab a toque, scarf or your favourite accessory. To summarize, Atelier B is a clothing store that proudly makes their items in Montréal, their minimal style is also well suited for everyone.

Surely if you are in Montreal you have tried the famous poutine, Montreal’s delicious cheesy fries covered in warm gravy. Obviously a must try, but you can also easily make it at home! Before leaving, grab a packet of St. Hubert’s poutine gravy at any grocery store in Montreal. Undoubtedly, you will be happy you did, not only for the memento, but also for the mouth-watering poutine.
If you are going to buy cheese anywhere in Canada, it should be in Quebec. That being said, you can find many different unique and delicious cheeses in Montreal. Subsequently, head to the closest cheese shop near you, and start browsing, we highly recommend trying soft cheeses like Grey Owl and Brie. Also, we cannot leave out the infamous cheese curds, they are perfect for a light snack and your shining star in your homemade poutine.
Last but not least, we will once again have to add the sweet-tasting Canadian maple syrup – but in candy form! Without a doubt, do not forget to grab some maple flavoured candies, chocolate or fudge!
