Things to Do in Canada 176

Good morning!

Did you know? Canada produces 71% of the world’s maple syrup with 91% coming from Quebec.

This is why you’ll often see Canadian foods with maple syrup, such as maple-glazed salmon. But there’s much more to Canadian food than maple syrup, poutine, and Montreal smoked meat. In fact, thanks to its diversity and quality of food, Canada has some of the best food in the world (in our opinion, anyway).

So for all you food lovers out there, this newsletter is for you!

One of our recent meals at The Botanist, one of Canada’s Top 100 restaurants.

While Canada isn’t really famous for food (like Mexico and Italy), we honestly think it has some of the best restaurants in the world, thanks in part to the diversity and quality of food.

While restaurant reviews can be quite relative, they are certainly a good place to start, especially if you’re looking for the crème de la crème. If that’s you, you’ll probably enjoy the 2024 round-up of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants, one of the most popular awards for food in Canada.

We’ve tried a number of them, such as BOTANIST in Vancouver and River Cafe in Calgary. We’ve also released a number of our own food guides, which include more of a variety ranging from budget to high-end. We haven’t covered every city yet, but here are some of our favourites.

If you’re looking for a particular city, search for it on mustdocanada.com.

Beaver Bites

  • Violets are blue, lobsters are red… err maybe not. Nova Scotia fishers just discovered a rare yellow lobster. Not sure if it’ll become food.

  • Whale watching is one of the top things to do in Canada but if there’s one thing you’ll learn when you do it, it’s that whales are constantly getting hit by big ships. So, hopefully, the $850,000 in funding from the federal government will help the Montréal startup Whale Seeker, which has created an AI tool to protect whales and other marine life from ships.

  • We always enjoy a good hotel breakfast buffet but there are some foods you might wanna skip.

  • Summer is the most popular time to explore Canada and according to experts, this summer should be warmer and sunnier than usual.

  • Birthdays are extra special when you get a bunch of free stuff from your favourite restaurants. So, here’s a list of places in Canada that give you free stuff on your birthday.

  • According to Time Out Magazine, these are the top 20 best cities in the world for foodies. One Canadian city made the list.
