Oui Mais Non Café Montreal
Homey coffee place in Villeray
This homey coffee place in Villeray neighborhood just opened their doors in July 2014... and it's a big one, a garage door that makes the complete façade of the place. In summertime, it's exactly what we need. This place has been in constant mutation since the opening: they now have a great outdoor terrace, they operate also in the basement, they have knitting workshops (see facebook page), they welcome different groups such as «The University of the Streets Café», and they sell a few artisan creations as collection of cups, greeting cards and notebooks, reusable bags, cute pins.
They offer a great summer concept : la charette pique-nique! It's filled with food, park games and dishes. You roll it to the nearby Jarry park and the cart turns into a table. All you need for an unforgettable picnic!
As we expect from a place like this, they serve excellent coffee! Macchiato, espresso, latté, cappuccino and al. They also collaborate with the no less fabulous bakery, Arhoma, to get a variety of fresh pastries every morning.
The place, as well as the staff, is warm and friendly. It's beautifully decorated with vintage furniture and objects, a piano, flowers, woods and spots of color here and there.
They started a catering service also.
Their blurb: Welcomes families, friends and lovers, all unceremoniously
with fresh and delicious products to discover at each visit. Perfect to drink, eat, think and play.
Enjoy!

Burger, Coffee and Vinyl Shop
It's not often that you can search vinyl, have a coffee, have brunch or eat a delicious burger - one of my top two - while someone is DJ'ing for you.

Theatre Fairmount
Spaceship with music
It's quite interesting because it's all in length, with a stage in the middle to the right & a bar on the left side stretched on almost half of the space.

Le bar A
A real local bar
There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials.

Video Game Heaven
Finish him! Me-style kick! Hadouken! Shoryuken! If you’re familiar with these phrases, odds are that you're a gamer, or at least played a video game or two in your life.

Saint Sushi Bar
Wanna eat some Marvin Gaye sushi?
"Saint Sushi Bar" in Montreal is not a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant - rather, its focus is on playful, hiphop, 'gangsta' reinterpretations.
