Outremont, a quaint residential district just north of
Downtown, is a peaceful, low-key setting known for its
mod cafes and bistros, and some of the best walking
territory Montreal has to offer. Visitors can explore
the flowering parks and manor estates of Maplewood
Street, then window-shop the popular bakeries and
coffeehouses on main arteries of Chemin de la
Côte-Sainte-Catherine and Rue Van Horne. The modern
...More
granola feel is complemented by contemporary art
exhibitions, rotating theater productions, and a
welcoming public library. Also a nexus for the city's
Hasidic Jewish culture, Outremont's diversity resounds
in its cuisine and in its architecture. Visit the
colorful neighborhood to take advantage of boutique
shopping on Avenue Laurier, or to test the artisanal
flavors of Avenue Bernard, braving a salmon burger on
a squid-ink bun or accommodating your sweet tooth with
a provincial chômeur pudding. A visit to Outremont is
a relaxing day.
