Saint Laurent Boulevard

Artsy area with lots of food choices, health food/ spiritual wellness stores, etc. Easy access via underground metro!

Full of bars and restaurants and interesting market stalls. Comes alive at night. Currently pedestrianised.

This street has many different areas. It is known as the old demarcation between French and Anglo Montreal. It starts in old Montreal, where it is impossible not to want to loose yourself walking the cobblestoned streets. It continues north, passing venues for the Jazz and Just for Laughs festivals. Once past Sherbrooke, it becomes a living history of immigration and culture in Montreal. In a few short blocks, you can see ethnic restaurants of all sorts, interspersed with cookware shops, hasidic goods stores, ethnic butchers, cheese shops, nightclubs, and local clothing boutiques. As you keep going north, you will pass little Portugal. The street will change again to host a multitude of furniture and art shops, mostly local. You will get tired from walking before this street looses it's charm.

If you are tight on time in Montreal, wandering down St-Laurent will fill you up with sights and sounds and foods. It's also a good line between anglo and francophone Montreal, full of nightlife and every summertime event known to man.

Wonderful for shopping, dining, drinking, dancing...We call it The Main. It's not a coincidence ;)

Drop by Schwartz to savor the taste of smoked meat sandwiches

A quick 10 minute walk from my condo on Berri Street will bring you to one of the hippest and trendiest streets in the city. Great restaurants, funky boutiques and far out nightlife - not to be missed!

Goes from Old Port through the Plateau and God knows where else. I'm giving this 5 stars essentially for the Plateau. Saint-Laurent and Saint-Denis are the main drags for hipster-kind.

Part of my life,was in these streets...doin what i did best then... ;-p...Yah like no one knows sellin medecin,with no prescriptions....

Walk up this hipster-ish street and you'll find cool vintage shops, DJ equipment, cute cafés, even Canadian army surplus stores and a tiny Chinatown.
