When I'm Hiding Out
See All Lists
1. Caffè Italia
This coffee will punch you in the face and you will like it. Eat your toast. Share your table with the dapper and curmudgeonly. Say thank you to your family of baristas with the same seriousness and hint of wisecrack they serve up. Discuss soccer.…More »
2. Smoke Meat Pete
I love this place. I feel genetically at home here like I was a happy go lucky bilingual blues loving smoked meat sweating biker in another life (or it's possible that describes me now.) I am a sucker for the old wood and wagon wheel lights, the…More »
3. Club Social
The sandwiches here are amazing. Meat sliced fresh when you order it, pressed with hot peppers and pickled eggplant, thin light lovely bread dripping with hot olive oil, a kind of heaven, especially in the leafy sun on the pretty terrasse with it's…More »
4. Main Deli Steak House
This is my long time late night stop on The Main, I go here to feel like I'm hiding outside of time in the simple booth with the smoked meat special medium fatty with mustard, fries with mayo, perfect chunky pickle and slaw. The photos on the walls,…More »
5. Casa Del Popolo
Casa is 2 rooms now, one is tables and couches, tasty nachos and sandwiches, zine library - a pretty, ramshackle, dim, perfect space for thinking, drinking, drawing and eating vegetarian tasty inexpensive eats. The second room is a dedicated…More »
6. Hurley's Irish Pub
This place has always had a special spot in my heart and in the hearts of most locals, it's old and rambly and comfortable like a real Irish pub ought to be. The layout, wrapping around the sunken level (my favourite) out to the terrasses and up to…More »
7. Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec
This huge library is such a gift to the area and to the city, it's really amazing. There are zen quiet places to sit and read, study, or just dream. There is actually a huge English fiction section and a fricken awesome floor devoted to CDs and DVDs…More »
8. Musee d'art contemporain de Montréal
Not massive, but a space that manages to feel both wide open and labyrinthine. The curation is often provocative and touching - the website is bilingual so you can check what's showing before you show up.
Don't plan to spend a day - Fresh breath of…More »
9. La Petite Idee Fixe
Alright I'll tell you, but don't go ruining this place bc right now it is very pure. Don't try to order fancy mixed drinks, or food, or in English. Do get a 40oz Labatt50 and the beer card that gets you free 40oz Labatt50 when you've had 10 40oz…More »
10. Bistro Des Moulins
Tucked in a heritage building with its terrace perched on a rushing set of streams within the Riviere des Prairies, this Bistro is a mellow, modern gem that remembers 19th century Montreal. Veggies here are market fresh, steaks are grilled on an…More »
11. Else's
Else's is always chill and cozy, dark, yummy and badass in a punk mamma full of community love kind of way. It's at its best in the winter right after a big snow. The small corner it sits on is the perfect place to watch the coordinated massive…More »

They have started doing the occasional live show on the bowling alleys, and were just voted "3rd Best Lesbian Bar" in the Best of Montreal Poll. The food and cocktails are still good, varying to great depending on who is cooking or behind the bar.…More »

14. Founderie
Founderie is a find: run by a friendly low stress gal with great taste, and featuring a nice collection of prints and fashions by local designers, the biggest draw here is the designer vintage: Fendi, Yves St Laurent, Burberry, Hermes and more at…More »
15. La Sala Rossa
Delicious tapas restaurant on the ground floor of the big stone building which, upstairs, also houses the venue Sala Rossa (note the double ss.) Goat cheese balls are great and sometimes I wake up thinking about them, and I smile. The sausage,…More »

17. Caffé Della Via
Cafe Della Via sits on a quiet corner with it's wide windows facing the 100 year old green copper and stone of Ste Cecile's Parish, just a few blocks from Jean Talon Market and Jarry park. Small, dark wood and white, good smelling, it reminds me of…More »

Beauty of a brightly coloured room always full of great art, with picnic tables by the big window looking out on St Laurent and truly great French and English bands every night of the week. The salads and sandwichs here are inventive and yummy, and…More »

This is high heaven in my books: long chalkboard list of locally brewed beers, delicious smoked meat sandwiches, big satisfying nacho plates and sausages, sunny wooden tables by the window on St Laurent in Little Italy next to a kids park, leafy…More »

There was a period this summer when I was at Bagel about 3 times a week for lunch or breakfast. The Cookie's Burger, grilled cheese, BLT and basic breakfast are my favourites, all delicious, fresh, hearty. Being able to tuck into the tiny booths in…More »
