Go native in Plateau Mont-Royal, where bespoke
shopping, hip eateries, and wacky paint jobs attract
locals and transplants alike, making it one of the
city's most diverse and distinctly authentic
experiences. A creative hub, Montreal's artistic elite

dot the Plateau's side streets. Not a major
sightseeing destination, a visit to Plateau Mont-Royal
allows you to enjoy a local perspective, soaking in
indie films, latte art, contemporary galleries, and
the city's best bagels. A center of polyglot culture,
Québécois accents mingle with shades of Portuguese,
Greek, and Hebrew in the area's iconic Mile End
district, where restaurants straddle chic designer
boutiques, serving up chorizo and caldo verde.
Friendliest to those on foot, it's a jungle of
colorful awnings and sidewalk umbrellas, pedestrian
walks and luxury shopping.
