As you stroll through the streets of Plateau Mont-Royal, you'll notice colourful wrought-iron staircases winding up the facades of the duplexes and triplexes. These architectural curiosities are typical of this neighbourhood which does everything a little differently, and where nothing is ever ordinary. In fact, most Montrealers dream of living on the Plateau, and those who don't actually live here, come to shop, dine and play. Mostly, though, they come to see what's hot in fashion and dining as well as what's happening on the cultural and clubbing scenes. On the Plateau the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is warm, and it's easy to meet really great people.
Saint-Laurent Boulevard, also known as “The Main”, is famous for its exotic shops, and hip bars and restaurants. It draws its character from the branching side streets where you'll find a plethora of businesses with unique offerings. Restaurants and bistros offer varying unique menus in a variety of nationalities. Bars and nightclubs range from the quietly elegant to the notoriously raucous. And shops, second-hand stores and ultra-modern designer boutiques offer the latest in urban chic.
Mont-Royal Avenue and Saint-Denis Street feature eclectic and designer boutiques, as well as an unbelievable wealth of sidewalk cafés and restaurants. On Prince-Arthur Street, a quaint pedestrian cobblestone street, you'll find family-friendly restaurants where you're welcome to bring your own wine. Towards Saint-Joseph and Laurier Streets, things become more noticeably French. This is where you can pick up the perfect baguette, hand-made chocolates and exquisite pâtés.
