Montreal's Orange Julep

You know there are some interesting eateries in Montreal.  One I have never been in though is the Orange Julep.  This restaurant has been around since 1932 and the giant orange ball itself has been up since the 60's.    I remember seeing it as a kid on the way to elementary school in the Town of Mount Royal.

Hamas Gibeau built the giant sphere hoping to actually live int it with his wife and kids.  Could you imagine having to explain that to your school chums.  "Is it true you live in an orange?" ya I live in a giant orange."  I do not know how appealing that would have been, sorry I took a bunch of punny pills before writing this.  But, the drink and the food from what I hear is appealing.

The restaurant is open 24/7 in summer and in the winter they have reduced hours.  The cool part is that patrons can still order food and the famous juice and eat a picnic tables or in they're car.  Plus if you are a fan of cars they do have mini car shows there during the summer.

Now that I have talked about it I guess I should go there, lol.  I wonder what is above that restaurant.  Could it be a giant store room filled with oranges?

Oh ya, you may want to go there, the address is 7700 Decarie..  By public transit it is on the Orange line, how cool eh?   The station stop is Namur, bus routes 17 and 115 go by the Julep, the stop you would get off at is Pare during the day and if you have a craving at 2 am busses 368, 369 and 371 are the routes to take.  For more info on getting there by public transit visit stm.info.
