Le bar A Montreal

A real local bar

Jeremy from Montreal

About me Some will tell you that I’m a designer, others a DJ. Some will tell you that I garden too much while others will point out that I should stop posting photos of my food all the time. I also heard that I’m a wine enthusiast and a good cook, that’s nice. Some still think that I have a band, which would be nice actually. But these days, I spend hours in my studio, making m...
"There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials."

If you are in the Plateau area and want to grab a drink or three but want to keep it low-key, this spot might just do the trick. The owner of this small bar made it very clear that he did not want to promote his business in order to keep his clientele very local. And it surprisingly worked. There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. On top of that, prices are more than reasonable and the regulars are more than friendly. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials. Bringing a snack is allowed, which is a big plus for some occasions, like birthdays/anniversaries.

This spot is not hidden but no sign will help you find it; you'll know if you've made it. It's definitely a must if you want a taste of the Plateau lifestyle. (And of course, let's keep this one between us!)

I also heard that I’m a wine enthusiast and a good cook, that’s nice. Some still think that I have a band, which would be nice actually. But these days, I spend hours in my studio, making music for the dance-floor. I guess that’s why they invented the moto jack of all trades, master of none. Totally me. Why Montreal? After travelling quite extensively around the world...

Montreal Olympic Park

Sleeping concrete scorpio

The "Montreal Olympic Park" is so big, you can never tell how close to it you are. Its retro-futuristic vibe reminds me of some kind of animal; a scorpion?
