Explore the cutting-edge art galleries, kick back in one of the many hip cafés or shop til you drop in the fashionable boutiques of this bohemian neighbourhood.

The epitome of urban chic, Plateau Mont-Royal is an exciting artistic and cultural melting pot where funky bars and über-cool cafés jostle for space alongside fashionable boutiques, swanky art galleries and quaint bookshops. Over the years, this former working-class neighbourhood has morphed into one of the hippest places to visit in Montreal. The laid-back vibe is infectious and attracts an eclectic mix of visitors from artists and students to culture vultures, and everyone in between.

The bohemian borough incorporates a number of gentrified neighbourhoods. As you make your way through the vibrant McGill Ghetto, dodge the students who have flocked here due to cheap rent and proximity to McGill University. The more cultural Mile End is renowned as a beacon for writers, artists and filmmakers and is bursting with a range of lively theatres. With a healthy independent music scene that has nurtured the likes of Arcade Fire, this is also the spot to catch some great live music.

The Plateau is a dream to explore on foot. Wander around Saint Louis Square and admire the historic townhouses and Victorian homes that spill onto the shady tree-lined streets. Browse through the vintage shops before stopping for a coffee at one of the hip cafés. If you require something a little more substantial, this part of the city is brimming with a number of great eateries offering a range of fare to tempt all palates.

The area is also teeming with delectable gourmet shops. Pick up a delicious smoked meat sandwich at the famous Schwartz’s Deli and head to La Fontaine Park where people-watching provides all the lunchtime entertainment you need.

As the name suggests, this trendy hub sits on relatively flat terrain just north-east of Mont Royal and is easily accessible from the city centre, so you really have no excuse for not paying a visit.
