 Sweet delight! |
1593 rue St-Denis Near boulevard de Maisonneuve, Around Town Montreal, QC H2X 3K3 Canada +1 514 842 7017 |
Hidden somewhere in the Quartier Latin, this little patisserie is a sheer delight. This is 'the' place to cater to the needs of your sweet tooth. The display case can be quite enticing with Marie Claire pastries to mega-meringues. A lot of tourists, students and audiences from nearby theaters drop by for some croissants, coffee or just to feast on quiches, salads and sandwiches of various kinds. Now that you've given in to the temptation, then you might as well go for the kill! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Affecting little café |
24 des Pins Ave East (Near St-Dominique) Montreal, QC H2W 1N3 Canada +1 514 288 0853 |
This charming little coffee shop is a great place to stop in for a quick weekday lunch, or to linger over a coffee and a good book. The menu offers grilled Italian sandwiches, called panini but in fact consisting of thick homemade bread piled with freshly-sliced meats, topped with cheese and put under the broiler. Salads feature a nice assortment of greens, and there are periodically other lunch specials. The whole package is roughly the size of a small bedroom, but it is wonderfully cozy on cold winter days. Cash only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Artsy neighbourhood pub |
156 Roy Street East (At de Bullion) Montreal, QC H2W 1M2 Canada +1 514 286 6689 |
This quiet, smoky pub is a neighbourhood institution, attracting locals from all walks of life with its friendly and familiar staff, cool music and excellent beer from St-Ambroise and other local microbreweries. Their liquor license, which requires the purchase of finger food to accompany the drinks, is all part of the charm. On tap they feature an excellent local cider that is quite difficult to find elsewhere. Come back a few times and they might have your drink waiting for you. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Belgian delicacies and fresh coffee |
24 Westminster North (Near Sherbrooke) Montreal, QC H4X 1Y9 Canada +1 514 484 7565 |
A wide selection of pastries, gateaux, and freshly made sandwiches has made this a popular lunchtime venue for local merchants and shoppers. Drop by for a café au lait and a croissant, or pick up a chocolate-hazelnut-mousse cake for a special occasion. The cafe area extends to the pavement outside in summer. A great choice of chocolates and a small number of gift baskets are also available here, as well as a selection of breads. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Desserts galore |
4275 St-Denis Street (Near Marie-Anne) Montreal, QC H2J 2K9 Canada +1 514 844 9479 |
One of few dessert-oriented restaurants in the area, this bright, airy café hosts a boisterous crowd all day and night. Pies are the order of the day, and you can wash them down with a beer, a glass of wine or a cocktail if that is your thing. Top notch coffee means a thriving after-dinner crowd. Lunch options include pizzas, sandwiches and other options. The terrace is a wonderful place to waste a summer evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |
