The Mile End

See All Lists
Home of Arcade Fire and Fairmount Bagels, the Mile End is one of the trendiest hood of Montreal. A little too hip and expensive for many tenants, it is still a great place to hang out: definitely more exciting then Crescent St!! Aaaaand, I live here.

I can't agree more with Dan. People who work in this affordable Microbrewery (that's probably the hardest word to say for a French-speaking person - I pronounce it brewewy)  are friendly and know their beers! I went yesterday, and after seeing me…More »

If you like to please yourself and are a chocolate maniac, you gotta go there.
Let the flavors convince you:

- Rose
- Mapple
- Balsamic vinegar
- Fleur de sel
- Chai
- etc.

They also have the greatest hot chocolate of the universe. Not some sort of…More »

I still don't understand the magic of Olympico. Everybody in Montreal knows the place. The crowd is a mix of artists, intellectuals, students,... and soccer aficionados. The speak Italian, French and English. The walls are covered by sport related…More »

You remember that ugly sweater (yeeees. It was ugly.) that you had when you were 9? It was blue wool with snow flakes? Well, Preloved found it, and transforms it into fashion.

You won't find it if you don't know where it is. And that makes the place even better.

A wee Comptoir à Vin (Wine Bar), all red and steal, very intimate. When we went for a glass of port (which they didn't have... and offered us something else...…More »

The reviews are ranging from "Doesn't deserve to be called a restaurant" to "The best Sangria of my whole life". One thing is certain, you'll probably find there the most exhaustive drink menu of your whole life. I honestly think that their menu is…More »

They have wireless. They have booz. They have veggie food. They have woodfloors, tall big windows. They have shows.

But there's something wrong about this place.
I think there's no soul.
