Des Rapides Park Montreal
Awesome Lachine Rapids view
Dasilva from Montreal
The borough of Lasalle in Montreal has a beautiful lakeshore, similar to its neighbour, the borough of Lachine. But while that part of the lakeshore mainly opens up into Lac St-Louis, a body of water that’s a little calmer and more ideal for boat rides and paragliding, the water in Lasalle is a little rougher. Des Rapides Park is the ideal place to get a view of the rushing water.
A place that’s often overlooked but shouldn’t be, this relaxing little park along Lasalle Boulevard is hidden in plain sight. Sometimes I like to go for a quick walk along the main path which is surrounded by green trees, bushes and underbrush leading to a lookout over the small rapids. Watching the speed of the water as it flows and swirls over rocks making a powerful sound, I’m impressed by the strength of the current and mother nature itself.

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.

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.
