Montreal/Mile-End

The nearest metro station is outside the Mile-End: Laurier on the orange line. It is about 15 minutes walk. Alternatively, take the 80 bus from metro stations Place-des-Arts (green line) or Du Parc (blue line).

  address: 5580 rue St-Urbain

• Rialto Theatre

The two main commercial streets in the Mile-End are Bernard and St-Viateur.

Bagels

The Mile-End is home to the two most renowned bagel shops of Montreal: St-Viateur Bagel and Fairmount Bagel. These shops do not offer seating, but you can sit in a nearby park to eat your bagels while they are hot. For the complete experience, do a picnic with fresh bagels, smoked salmon and cream cheese.

  address: 5490 St. Laurent
  A nice vegetarian café and bistro, Le Cagibi is also a hot spot of the emerging experimental music scene with live shows most nights of the week.

• La PouleOne of the best Portuguese-style chicken restaurants in the entire city (and there are quite a few.) It's owned by an Italian woman and the head chef is a Moroccan man, but no matter. Their chicken is grilled, not rotisserie. Served with piri-piri hot sauce, choice of salads and a huge pile of fresh fries. Lots of other things on the menu but don't bother. It's all about la poule (the chicken).
