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.'

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'

Four-time world champion Verstappen skips Brad Pitt F1 movie to stay with family
Max Verstappen caused a stir in F1's most glamorous paddock on Thursday after choosing to attend to his duties as a new father instead of going to an exclusive screening of the new Brad Pitt film 'F1: The Movie'. Red Bull's four-time world champion and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll were the only absentee drivers for the preview showing of the Hollywood movie in Monaco on Wednesday evening — all part of the build-up to this weekend's Grand Prix. Verstappen, who is no fan of promotion and marketing work beyond the needs of his own team, said he had declined the invitation well in advance. As to changing nappies, he made no comment. "I told Formula One Management (FOM) that I would not be there," he said. "They knew about it. I just wanted to spend more time at home. It wasn't a mandatory event and it was my private time. "And I prefer to spend that private time at home especially as in F1 you're away from home so much already. It's pretty normal, I think. Now my family is growing, I definitely prefer more time at home." Stroll said he was doing "just stuff", adding that: "At some point, I'll watch it." Both drivers, and the 18 who attended, are in the principality for the Monaco Grand Prix, the second of three races in a 'triple header' of three consecutive events in Italy, Monaco and Spain, following six season-opening flyaway races in Australia, Asia, the Gulf and Florida. The long-awaited film is due to go on general release next month and stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. It was directed by Joseph Kosinski, who made 'Top Gun: Maverick' among others, and the producers include Jerry Bruckheimer and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari. Hamilton attended the screening after which most drivers were enthusiastic about the production, many praising the authenticity of the racing sequences. Carlos Sainz of Williams said: "I truly enjoyed it... For us F1 experts, we're going to see things that we sometimes see with Netflix that you can tell are a bit Hollywood-esque. "But I truly believe that for a new fan, it will attract an audience and will do very well with people who don't know anything about F1. For the hardcore fan, for the journalists and us (drivers), we see things that maybe are too American or a bit too Hollywood." He added that the filming of racing sequences were "insane, honestly insane" and "for me the best part." Drivers, team bosses and other guests attended the showing which Hamilton's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc described as "really cool". "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect," he added. "No idea. But the story-telling is really cool and the images are just incredible. I really enjoyed it." Pierre Gasly of Alpine said: "Beautiful! It was really cool to see it for the first time. I think it is a real dive into our world of Formula One so I'm sure people will like it." Williams' team chief James Vowles said: "I thought it was absolutely fantastic. They did a really good job of being authentic to who we are and how we go racing. "I rate films by goosebump moments and I had three or four of them that were just really brilliant build-ups that then ended in a fantastic way. It is a fantastic package."

With the news that he had been cleared to race at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend getting the city's pulse racing, Lance Stroll made a pit stop at his favourite Montreal deli. Looking happy to be back on home turf, Stroll and the Aston Martin team hit up one of the city's most iconic spots for smoked meat. The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team shared photos on their Instagram account of Stoll at Lester's Deli in Outremont, smiling and looking relaxed ahead of the big race weekend. The message on the Instagram post read: "A taste of home. Lance brought the team together at one of his favourite Montreal spots, Lester's Deli. [Green heart emoji] #CanadianGP" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team (@astonmartinf1) From famous delis to hidden diners, Montreal is known for some exceptional smoked meat (and poutine and bagels). And while the famous Bernard Avenue eatery changed hands a few years ago, this sends a big sign that Lester's Deli is standing the test of time when it comes to some of Montreal's best sandwiches. With all the next-level restaurants in Montreal fully booked for race weekend, including some of the top tables downtown and epic party venues, it's great to see some of the city's best cheap eats getting some attention. Who is Lance Stroll driving for in 2025? As of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, Lance Stroll has secured one pole position and three podium finishes in Formula One. He is currently signed with Aston Martin through the end of the 2026 season. Where is Lester's Deli?
