That reminds me why I hate travelling with other people. I went on a group
trip to Europe with my brothers and their wives and had a crappy meal in an
Italian restaurant in Germany.

Give your friend some personal time to go and have some Japanese food on
her own.

On second thought.... I had a wonderful meal in a Portuguese restaurant in
Montreal. It was one rue Duluth, not far from L'Express that I recommended.


One of the nice things about Montreal is that it is a very affordable city
for tourists. I was surprised at the low cost of hotels and decent
restaurants. It is a real bargain compared to most cities. We always have
at least one meal in my son's favourite vegetarian Indian restaurant. The
dinner specials, including dessert are $4.95.
