Two travelers: MEERANISHIL PATEL + NISHILA PATEL. Confirmed fare: $366.50 each, $733.00 total.
Tap for budget detailAuberge is home base.
The hotel decision is done. Auberge du Vieux-Port puts the trip exactly where it should be: Old Port, riverfront, walkable to Notre-Dame, Bota Bota, cafés, rooftops, and the easiest no-kids wandering.
Auberge du Vieux-Port
Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed, River Front. Booked through Hotels.com for 3 nights, 2 adults, 1 room.
Total confirmed: $1,181.99 after $33.54 OneKeyCash. Itinerary: 72074139649791.
Tap for detailsNon-refundable rate
The confirmation says the room/rate selected is non-refundable. No refunds for late check-in or early checkout, and stay extensions need a new reservation.
Loose, romantic, not a death march.
JUN 14
Arrival + Old Montreal + AURA
Taxi/Uber to Auberge / Old Montreal. Budget ~US$35–50 each way and 25–45 min. Do not bus this; it’s a couples trip.
Bagel Class canceled Sunday's workshop and the refund is received. The freed window became a relaxed arrival lane.
Actual late lunch stop on Wellington before the Auberge check-in/reset. Good vegetarian-friendly arrival-day pivot.
Check in, reset, and grab a small bite nearby only if hunger is real before AURA.
Make Sunday 7:00 PM the working plan. Monday is now anchored by the booked Mile End food tour.
Actual Sunday dinner pivot after cancelling Monarque. It worked: fully plant-based, close, and no menu anxiety.
Downtown dessert lounge after LOV. Stronger than forcing an Old Montreal crepe stop once you were already near Bishop.
Sunday's prestige speakeasy move: walkable from C'ChoColat, tiny, bespoke, and more acclaimed than Coldroom.
JUN 15
Secret Food Tour + Damas
Meet in front of 5723 Av. du Parc. Guide has an orange umbrella; arrive 15 minutes early.
Booked for 2 adults under BK-15BPH. Vegetarian restriction is confirmed and noted in their system.
After the tour, keep the afternoon loose: coffee, a short wander, or back to Auberge before Damas.
Table for 2 at 7:30 PM. This is the most memorable vegetarian-friendly splurge of the trip.
JUN 16
Bota Bota + Old Montreal dinner pivot
Give yourselves buffer before the booked 9:40 AM couples massage.
Booked for Tuesday morning. This is now the indulgent core of the trip.
Confirmation lists water-circuit access at 11:40. Plan lunch there instead of leaving the spa bubble.
After the spa block, the night stayed loose enough to pivot instead of forcing the fine-dining plan.
Actual pre-dinner drink stop in Old Montreal before the Toqué drink-only pivot.
You went, decided not to make it dinner, and kept the evening alive instead of over-forcing it.
Actual Tuesday dinner. Really good Indian food, and the right call after Toqué became a drink-only stop.
JUN 17
Fairmount + Mount Royal + fly home
Actual final-morning bagel stop before leaving the Mile End / Plateau lane.
Actual final scenic stop: viewpoint, walk around, then point the trip toward YUL.
Wrapped the trip after Mount Royal and headed to the airport for the 2:20 PM departure.
Everything radiates from Auberge.
The map now shows the actual route: Sunday India Rosa/AURA/LOV/C'ChoColat/Cloakroom, Tuesday Modavie/Toqué/Le 409, and Wednesday Fairmount Bagel/Mount Royal before YUL.
The food run is final.
Sunday became India Rosa Griffintown late lunch, LOV McGill dinner, C'ChoColat dessert, and Cloakroom Bar. Tuesday became the better story: Modavie for a pre-dinner drink, Toqué for a drink only, then Le 409 for really good Indian food. Wednesday morning closed with Fairmount Bagel before Mount Royal.
Monarque Brasserie
The 8:30 PM Table Brasserie reservation was cancelled through Resy on Sunday evening.
Tap for detailsIndia Rosa Griffintown
Actual late lunch on Wellington after arrival, before the Auberge check-in/reset.
Tap for detailsDamas
7:30 PM table for 2. Upscale Syrian in Outremont with excellent vegetarian mezze potential.
Tap for detailsToqué!
You went for the reservation, decided not to do dinner there, and kept it as a drink-only stop.

Actual pre-dinner drink stop in Old Montreal before Toqué.
Tap for detailsLe 409
Actual dinner win: Indian food on McGill after Toqué became drink-only.
Tap for detailsFairmount Bagel

Tap for detailsLOV McGill
Actual Sunday dinner after AURA/Monarque cancellation. Fully plant-based and a very good vegetarian-safe win.
Tap for detailsC'ChoColat
Downtown dessert lounge for crepes, waffles, chocolate plates, and the right pre-Cloakroom pairing.
Tap for detailsOlive + Gourmando
Old Montreal classic for coffee, pastries, breakfast, and casual lunch. No reservations, so use it as an easy daytime stop.
Tap for detailsBEVO Pizzeria
Old Montreal wood-fired pizza with vegetarian dishes available. Good low-friction backup when fine dining feels like work.
Tap for detailsThe Coldroom
Classic Old Montreal black-door cocktail bar. Easier from Auberge, but less acclaimed than Cloakroom.
Tap for detailsCloakroom Bar
Tiny bespoke cocktail room behind Maison Cloakroom. The more acclaimed, more impressive pick.
Tap for detailsEl Pequeno
Very small Cuban-style Old Montreal bar. Best low-effort Tuesday nightcap after Toqué!.
Tap for detailsBudget stays as planning context; the route is now actual.
The trip budget remains USD-first for the big booked anchors. Meal receipts were not fully reconciled here, but the actual dining path is captured: Sunday LOV/Cloakroom, Tuesday Modavie + Toqué drink-only + Le 409, and Wednesday Fairmount Bagel.

What changed
The old hotel comparison is gone, Auberge is booked, the Sunday Bagel Class was canceled and refunded, and the Sunday Monarque reservation was cancelled through Resy. Sunday is logged as India Rosa late lunch, LOV dinner, C'ChoColat dessert, and Cloakroom Bar.
Tuesday is now logged honestly: Bota Bota, Modavie pre-dinner drink, Toqué drink-only, then Le 409 for Indian dinner. Wednesday closes with Fairmount Bagel and Mount Royal before YUL.
The remaining budget rows are anchor/planning context, not a fully reconciled receipt ledger.
