Our Montréal
Food Scene
There are endless food options close to home. We encourage you to go out and discover for yourself. Walking north on St-Laurent street provides lots of quick/fast food/pub-type options. St-Denis street north of Sherbrooke has more sit-down restaurants.
South of Sherbrooke, you enter the latin-quarter, which has a huge variety of bars and restaurants to try. Duluth street is packed with restaurants, many of which are very established and very good! For tried and tested spots, here are some of our favourites.
Amazing French Patisserie (bakery)! Try 'Oh Mon Dieu' (Oh my God!), an incredible explosion of chocolate, caramel and other goodness in a croissant form.
