Eating & Drinking around Mile End

Home to decades-old bagelries, iconic Italian cafes, vintage clothing shops and hip restaurants, Montreal’s Mile End neighborhood might be small, but has a reputation for being one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. Begin your day here with pastry from one of the city’s best bakeries before exploring the shops along Saint-Laurent Boulevard, lunching like a local on a smoked meat sandwich in Parc Saint-Viateur, and dining on seasonal small plates shoulder-to-shoulder with some of Montreal’s biggest food snobs before ending the night with drinks at the West End’s place du moment.
