AA Montreal
Poutine by night
Jérémie from Montreal
By day you may have passed it several times while going food shopping, coffee drinking or just wandering in the street of Notre-Dame Ouest in St-Henri, and you wouldn't have noticed it. For sure it's open by day but I'm pretty sure you will pay attention to this place mostly at night. Second thing for sure: the neon light AA in strong red glowing in the dark will attract your eyes as those of the rabbit or the squirrel crossing the road seeing a car. Third thing: you will feel the need to enter or at least walk in the direction of the red light.
This diner type of restaurant is - wait for it - an institution in this area of Montreal. For more than four decades the owner is running it and it's always reassuring to see him when you open the door. Once you order, you adapt the size of your hunger with the combo in the menu: classics are served, pogo, hot-dog, burger and other poutine are there for you. After 02:00 I'm often up to two hot-dogs all dressed and a small poutine, the right amount of energy to walk home.

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.

"Bílý Kůň" Montreal is my favorite friendly local bar .The curiosity? The 'taxidermy chic' effect! The walls are adorned with heads of stuffed ostriches

Kouign Amann
Did you say 'butter'?
"Kouign Amann" Montreal Chocolate is a charming little outdated and colorful decor bakery, and we don't want it to change! Try their raspberry Danish.

Kitsch public art piece
"The Illuminated Crowd" in Montreal is a sculpture of 65 people with exaggerated facial expressions. Everyone's passed by, but few people really notice it!

Boutique Réunion
Home decor and gift shop
Boutique Réunion in Montreal has kitchenware and food items like jams, but what piqued my interest was the fix of craft imports & fine local products...
