Galleries

Name: Art Mûr Address: 5826 rue St-Hubert, Montreal, QC H2S 2L7 Hours: See website. URL: http://artmur.com/ One of my go-tos, this vast, two-storey framerâ??s-cum-commercial gallery exhibits both the work of artists it represents and others thanks to an open-minded policy and frequent guest curators. They also regularly host student-art shows, which makes it a fun exploratory ground as well.

Name: Yves Laroche Address: 6355, Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2S 3C3 Hours: See website. URL: http://www.yveslaroche.com/en/ An exciting commercial gallery for lovers of alternative and street-based art, if the works of Ron English, Dave Cooper, Gary Baseman and Gary Taxali can still be called that. I most admire Laroche for his astute perception that Montreal has a huge scene of this sort of production â?? Omen, Other, Heavyweight, En Masse â?? that is otherwise vastly ignored by the gallery scene. Sculpture / Drawing & Painting / Commercial Gallery |

Quick Bite / Meal / Drinks |
|
|
Name: Café Italia Address: 6840, boul. Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2S 3C7 Hours: Mon-Sun 6-11pm An ex-Italian menâ??s club thatâ??s been taken over by all sorts (all heads used to turn if a plebe walked in), this is the best coffee in the area and a hell of a fun place. Sidle up to the bar, down a single shot, grab a sandwich to go and move on to leave room for the next guy. Quick Bite / Coffee |
|
|
Name: Depanneur Le Pickup Address: 7032 Rue Waverly, Montreal, QC H2S 3J2 Hours: Mon-Fri 7am-7pm; Sat 9am-7pm; Sun 10am-6pm URL: http://depanneurlepickup.com/ This small hipster joint combines a retro lunch counter and depanneur in one.

On the weekends, you can barely walk two steps forward in a row itâ??s so busy. Quick Bite / Coffee |

|
|
Name: Notre Dame des Quilles Address: 32 Beaubien E., Montreal, QC H2S 1P8 Hours: 514.507.1313 This bowling-hall-cum-neighbourhood bar is well worth the tiny detour onto Beaubien. In this retro-industrial designed hangout you can throw a spare, take a swig of your $4 pint, chat with handsome bartenders and nibble on a grilled cheese. Quick Bite / Meal / Drinks |
|
|
Name: Petit Alep Address: 191, rue Jean Talon E., Montreal, QC H2R 1S8 Hours: Tue-Sat 11-11pm URL: http://www.petitalep.com/EN/ Just west of the market on Jean-Talon, this Syrian/Armenian resto serves delicious spreads (all sorts of hummus, baba ghanoush, olive tapenades), salads and stewed meats.

Name: Primo & Secondo Address: 7023, rue Saint-Dominique, Montreal, QC H2S 3B6 Hours: Tue-Sun 5:30-10pm URL: http://primoesecondo.ca/ If your pockets are deep, this is one of my preferred splurges â?? the pasta is like in Tuscany and they treat meat with veneration. The bone-in côte de veau is a sight to behold. You wonâ??t have room for dessert, but if ever you do, theirs is a game-changing tiramisu. Drinks / Meal |
