Sightseeing

If you visit downtown Montreal you cannot miss this iconic mural of popular poet and singer-songwriter, Leonard Cohen. Although he passed away a few years ago he remains a popular Montreal figure for his compelling music. He was a local and people usually saw him roaming around Mile End or sitting down in a coffee shop to enjoy a good book.

Coffee!

This is my favourite coffee shop. The staff is nice and has a great social atmosphere. During the summers people tend to pour out of the coffee shop on to the sidewalks and into their terrasse just enjoying their coffees.

Obviously since my primary hosting location is here I have to say I love it. Great mixed community of families and young professionals living in the neighbourhood. Renowned for it’s social atmosphere you will see people spending their whole days enjoying a good cup of coffee and conversation.

Near the canal this is a great spot to visit. Similar to the mile end it has a great atmosphere and is popular for its hip coffee shops and vintage clothing boutiques. It has also become one of Montreal’s fashion districts with innovative new brands setting up in the neighbourhood.
