While the Montreal food scene thrives with a vengeance, the city’s café culture is subtle, understated and charming. Littered around the city streets, these cafes provide an atmospheric space where you can spend a leisurely time sipping on a cuppa—coffee connoisseurs can enjoy their brews a la French-press, siphon or sans any filters—accompanied by some delicious light snacks (from omelettes and crepes to brownies and unusual cupcakes). Just sit back, relax, and soak in the city’s vibe.
