Where to Go in Montreal
Destination & Tourism Janeen Christoff January 11, 2017

Montreal is quietly getting a hip and trendy makeover and visitors are beginning notice, including The New York Times, which recently published a story on places to go in the city.
“Lately, amid the sequins and satin, a growing roster of cool cafes, coffee shops, bakeries and bars, many on residential side streets, has unexpectedly bloomed in this transforming neighborhood, which now attracts Montrealers from across the city,” writes Ingrid K. Williams, who provides a roster of cool places to hang out in Montreal.
First, head to Montreal Plaza.
“This bustling brasserie has been reliably packed with diners devouring platters of oysters and creative dishes like baloney cannelloni,” writes Williams.
Another suggestion is to get fashionable Artgang Montreal.
“The crew behind Montreal’s street-wear label Fake opened this creative gallery and retail space in 2015, selling snap-back caps and sweatshirts beside floor-to-ceiling murals and framed works by top graffiti and street artists,” says Williams.

“The divine apple-and-caramel hand pies, still warm from the oven and sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts, are alone worth a detour to this pint-size patisserie…” writes Williams.
Visitors can also share a bottle of wine at Yisst — which is a favorite for its local flavors.
“Opened in May 2015, this boisterous bar spotlights little-known domestic producers,” notes Williams.
