Montreal is doing fairly well in terms of independent, hipster-approved, Insta-
gram-friendly coffee shops. There are so many new ones opening up every month
I can barely keep up! If you like to start your day with a cortado or a soy latte, these
places should be on your list.
You may even see me there. Come and say hello!
Café Myriade (1000 West Sainte‑Catherine Street, inside Club Monaco)
Larue & fils (244 East De Castelnau Street)
Réplika (252 East Rachel Street)
Humble Lion (904 West Sherbrooke Street)
Le moineau masqué (912 East Marie-Anne Street)
Café Parvis (433 Mayor Street)
9. Eat a bagel

Move over New York City – we’ve got this.
To be completely objective here, I really do think our bagels are best. Ours are boiled
in honey-infused water before they are baked, making them much sweeter than their
NYC counterparts. To taste Montreal bagels, you basically have two options:
St-Viateur (263 Saint Viateur Ouest)
Fairmount (74 Fairmount Ouest)
Whatever you do, ask for a bagel fresh out of the oven – this is when the flavours are
the most intense!
