Montreal Workation

Published on Oct. 27, 2018 by Matt van Vuuren

I took a last minute road trip to Montreal to decommission a server network, while in Montreal I spent the evenings trying their local cuisine and fun parties at the best nightclubs in town.

First stop, a delicious Montreal smoked meat sandwich at Charcuterie Hebraique de Montreal. A local classic!

I stayed a the fancy Bonaventura Hotel in downtown Montreal which even had an outdoor pool in the middle of winter.

After all work was completed, I spent the rest of the weekend exploring Montreal and Mount Royal which overlooks the city.

Luckily, the Bonaventura Hotel had a pretty big gym necessary to work off those Montreal smoked meat sandwiches.

I was fortunate enough weather was good with lots of sunshine, making even the 6 hour drive from Toronto to Montreal very pleasant.

Delicious egg benedict for breakfast on my final day before driving back to Toronto.

I packed up all the servers and additional equipment before bringing the heavy load back to Toronto, it was a pretty fun experience.

The final night I spent the night at New City Gas, Dash Berlin was in town playing one of his most epic sets. Coincidentally, some of my friends from Toronto were also in town for Dash Berlin, making it a night to remember.
