Ville-Marie was named the “Neighbourhood of the future” in the 1960s and has been iconic ever since. An aggregate of the trendiest stores, venues and restaurants, it’s no wonder the area consistently attracts crowds of tourists and native Montrealers alike. Ville-Marie also boasts a growing collection of some of the most impressive modern buildings on the island, complemented by rich historical architecture and monuments. It’s the heart of Montreal for a reason!
The coolest espresso bar on the block.
Foodchain embodies everything we wish food chains actually were.
Hawaiian vibes and poké. What more could you want?
Pigeon espresso bar is the coolest kid on the block. Sarcastic, self-deprecating and fluent in pop-culture-speak, the coffee shop shows off its “street cred” through punny merch (like its “Make Americanos Great Again” caps) and Drake-inspired board art. If you’re more about the drink than the #mood, Pigeon pours a mean coffee and even has Kombucha on tap (for your weird friends).
