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.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tacos Frida (@tacosfridamtl) Russell if you're reading this, make sure you check out this Montreal spot just named the best Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico —and Taco Fest Montreal 2025 (think: 125 tacos, churros, tequila, and more!). The Oscar-winner was also snapped at Mai Thai Cuisine on St-Denis in the Quartier Des Spectacles neighbourhood, where the staff recently posted this message on their Instagram account: 'Is this not the real life? 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'
