Russell Crowe showed his love for this Montreal taco restaurant and two other local eateries
Everyone's talking about Montreal's best tacos. The Canadian Grand Prix 2025 had Montreal's food scene hopping last week, including a visit from Lance Stroll to one of the city's most iconic delis and Ben Stiller snapped with one of the province's favourite poutines. And now it's time to add Russel Crowe to the list. Exploring the city from Downtown Montreal to Quartier Des Spectacles, with a final stop in Saint-Henri (recently ranked one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world), the legendary actor was recently spotted at these three Montreal eateries. Shouting out one of the most beloved taco spots in Montreal, Tacos Frida, Russell Crowe took to his X account and shared the following message: 'Tacos Frida on Notre-Dame in Montreal … We are a long way north of Oaxaca here but, wow… superior. Está bien chido.'

Is this just fantasy? Nope — that was Russell Crowe enjoying our Thai food! Still starstruck. Thank you for supporting small local restaurant like us — it truly means the world. PS. I just watched the beautiful mind 2 nights ago.' The Italian downtown go-to Il Cortile (home to one of the city's most beautiful hidden terrasses) also shared a post of the actor at their eaterie with the following message: 'Russell Crowe @ il Cortile montreal with Graziella'

Ben Stiller stopped by this Montreal poutine spot during Grand Prix weekend
Two of Montreal's most iconic dishes got some major attention over the Grand Prix 2025 weekend weekend. First, it was Lance Stroll visiting one of the city's most beloved delis. And now, Ben Stiller was captured in close proximity to one of the province's most famous poutines. The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2025 edition was home to 120 food vendors lining the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, offering a variety of dishes. Ashton, located in the Green Zone, is where poutine becomes serious business: golden fries, fresh cheese curds, and hot gravy served with Quebec pride and tradition. Ben Stiller, the American actor, writer and director, was in town for race weekend with his wife, Christine Taylor. While the couple was snapped in and around the F1 circuit, there's one photo that has gone viral. A post on Ashton's Instagram account showed Ben Stiller standing next to a healthy portion of poutine, complete with a fork, and the following caption: 'Ben Stiller and an Ashton poutine in the same photo was not on our bingo card.' Ashton, purveyors of Quebéc poutine since 1969, also published a photo of Charles Leclerc's dog (the Monégasque racing driver who competes in Formula One for Ferrari), Leo, looking down at the circuit with the following caption: 'POV: Leo just waiting for his poutine at the Canadian Grand Prix'.
