About Kelly Ripa's Montreal: "Mark and I go there without our kids," Ripa explains. "It's the only place we go without our kids. I mean, I know it's wonderful for children, but it's just been our romantic-getaway place. So we usually get up and have breakfast at lunchtime - which, you have to ­understand, with three kids, that's such a luxury for us to not have to get up early. So we usually go to Eggspectation. It's a very good sort of diner-breakfast place. There's also a specialty place called Olive & Gourmando in Old Montreal. It has café au lait and croissants and beautiful breads. Unfortunately, I don't know the street it's on. Mark and I just sort of wander around there."

"You have dinner very late there. It's very European in that way. Then a lot of these restaurants that start out serving food will turn into nightclubs. All of a sudden, the tables vanish and a DJ comes out.
