Newbury Park, California natives, The Neighbourhood, or shortened by their fans as The NBHD, are an indie rock band from the United States.

Formed in 2011 by friends Jesse Rutherford, Jeremy Freedman, Zach Abels, Mikey Margott and Bryan Sammis, the band released two EPs, “I’m Sorry…” which contained the explosive “Sweater Weather” in 2012. Later that same year, the band released a second EP entitled “Thank You.”

By early 2013 the band released their first full-length album “I Love You” and the announcement of their performance at the Coachella music festival that year. Because of the success of their EPs, “I Love You” debuted 39th on the Billboard200 albums chart, with “Sweater Weather” reaching number one on the Billboard alternative chart by June 2013. The release of the album meant a tour; a tour that they called “The Love Collection Tour” alongside bands JMSN, Lovelife and The 1975.

Riding the success of all their successful tours and festivals, the band premiered a new song “Silver” on BBC 1 radio in December 2013, and in January released “Honest” for the Spiderman 2 soundtrack. Around the same time, they also announced the “#000000 & #FFFFFF” project (aka Black & White) to be released sometime during 2014. Despite the loss of drummer Bryan Sammis (and the consequent gain of Brandon Fried) they again set out on a world tour, “Le Tour Noir” in 2014.

The band is adamant about maintaining a certain image, having turned down television appearances that wouldn’t film in black and white. The artistic style has maintained a great importance to The Neighbourhood, and when asked about it, frontman Jesse Rutherford responds, “It’s important to stick to something. The black and white image was one defining thing for us where we were like ‘we’re gonna do that, we’re gonna keep it.”

Live reviews

Everything from my shoulders on down to my hips was squished between the different bodies that were packed around me while we waited for The Neighbourhood to take the stage on Tuesday night at the Masquerade Music Park.

The heat from everyone around me was unbearable and made it somewhat difficult to breathe. I was glad that the concert was held outside. I don’t think anyone would have been able to stand for two hours inside the Masquerade nightclub without the occasionally cool summer’s breeze wafting through the wall of bodies, cooling us down as we waited. People lucky enough to be closer to the stage were sprayed with water by the stagehands. Unfortunately, I was just outside of the water’s reach. Not only was the heat an issue, but the overcast sky threatened to rain just like the last time the Neighbourhood played Atlanta. Fortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. For some fans, the anticipation led them to start singing “Sweater Weather,” one of the band's top hits, to pass the time. Although, the singers were cut short when the lights flashed on stage and the haunting intro of “Female Robbery” blasted through the speakers. Jesse Rutherford, the band’s lead vocalist, dressed in all black and a leather jacket, despite the muggy heat, took center stage with plumes of smoke surrounding him and the band, and three LED screens on stage with black and white graphics to accompany the music. From the very beginning, Rutherford was a bouncing ball of energy. He paced the stage, waved at fans, and pined for the crowds’ reaction, which he easily got. I guess he knew that after all the waiting the fans did, he had better up the energy of the tired, hot, and sweaty crowd. Rutherford’s voice sounded deeper with a little rasp to it, giving the songs a sexier sound, except when the group performed “Lurk” and Rutherford’s voice sounded almost exactly like Justin Bieber’s. Then the band took on a more somber tone, staying with the “West Coast vibes” as Rutherford said. They performed the ironically named “West Coast,” “WDYWFM,” and “Wires” to set the mood before moving back to the high energy that the group had in the beginning of the show. Of course when “Sweater Weather” started, the crowd went wild, but the screams and excitement increased ten-fold when the twangy guitar cue for “Afraid” — which was also the last song — ripped through the crowd. Middle fingers flew up in the air as Rutherford got to the chorus and his fans chanted along with him. Later, on the drive home, my mom said that she could hear everyone singing the last song from where she was parked down the street. As the last notes echoed and the band left the stage, the crowd chanted for an encore, but were only lucky enough to get the band’s half finished water bottles and balled up set lists which were tossed out into the audience.

Report as inappropriate

The Neighbourhood are a group of 5 guys from LA who have a black and white styled vision for themselves and even the fans participate in that as well. The band as well as all the fans who know of their black and white theme will dress in those colors for the show. Even the visuals during the show are black and white, they do not use colored lights, and have screens that show black and white video during their songs. Their music for those who don't know could be described as dark pop, alternative, and hip hop based. They have a tendency to have more of a hip hop styled beat with alternative guitar styles as well as a poppy melody that could be sang more in a pop way or fast like hip hop. Its an interesting style combination that works very well and is different than what you hear everyday.

The frontman Jesse Rutherford knows how to work the crowd. He moves to different parts of the stage going to the edge to be close to fans, to dancing when the mood feels right, to getting crowd interaction having everyone chant or move their hands in the air like him. The band plays a mixture of songs from their debut album, their EPs, and mixtapes, so there is a variety to for them to choose from. It's always great to hear old material, current material, and new material all in one night. The shows are high energy even though their songs while listening on CD are usually more relaxed and sort of melancholic, during live shows the fans will sing the lyrics out all together and dance and sway making it so energized and fun. Of course by the show being so great must mean the band does a great job, which is true the music is always on point and the singing is very much like what you'd hear on a recording. These men know how to put on a good show and the more the crowd is into it the more they are too. It was a blast having everyone dance and sing along the whole show, as well as it being the final stop of the US tour for their album it made it special to see them for the last time until they have new music. They are a great band made up of creative, funny, sweet guys who make their fans very happy. This was my fourth time seeing them this year and I will definitely be seeing them again. Black and white will never die.

We’d been looking forward to seeing The Neighbourhood in concert being as they’ve been our favorite band for about 7 years, but last night was hands down the worst concert experience we’ve ever had. The a couple members of staff at the Van Buren made it even more miserable. I fully intend on calling the Van Buren to complain. The fans were so disgustingly rude and selfish with absolutely no regard for decency. We’ve never experienced anything like it and we go to more concert last than anyone else we know personally. We always buy 4 tickets and buy lots of merch. We’re very supportive fans. We were uncomfortably crammed by some truly awful, rude, insensitive people. We have our usual complaints about the Van Buren, when it comes to lighting, sound and design, but our feeling is that the best thing about this venue is that its size has brought in some bands that might not have come to Phoenix otherwise. I hope when The Neighbourhood returns to Phoenix they play Comerica. As far as the band, who we absolutely adore, they were incredible and Jesse Rutherford is even more beautiful in person. That being said, we were disappointed in many of their choices for the set list. We did not enjoy either of the two opening bands either. All in all it was a pretty terrible night and it’ll take us a while to get over our disappointment. We went home and cried...The fans were that bad...Like really, really bad.

How do I even begin to describe The Neighbourhood concert? For starters, The Neighbourhood is by far the best band I've seen live and this was the second time I saw them. Jesse carries so much energy with him while performing on stage. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was the turn out of the crowd. As they said they did book a "hilariou$ly over$ized" venue but come on,who in their right mind wouldn't want to see such a talented and energetic band? I think they're very underrated and they deserve a lot more attention than they receive. Regardless of the turnout, The Neighbourhood made it their best efforts to wow the crowd that they had in front of them and I assure you that's exactly what they did. The crowd, while it was a small one, was so engaged in the concert and clearly no one was dissappointed. The setlist that they put together couldn't have been anymore perfect and it was exciting to hear new songs that haven't been previously released yet. Although the first Neighbourhood concert I attended I was able to meet Jesse and Zach, I liked this one a lot better because I was so much closer and could feel the energy and enjoy the concert more. Their music is so unique that it's hard not to instantly fall in love with them.To anyone who hasn't seen or even heard of The Neighbourhood I highly recommend you check them out. You won't be dissappointed.

The Neighbourhood was the first band I saw perform at Lollapalooza last year. It was super hot, and the crowd was excited with anticipation for the festival to kick off. So I was quite surprised when the band came out in all black. The lead singer had on a black hoodie sporting the band's logo (which he eventually took off). They started off really well, getting the crowd moving to the beat. Looking around, I noticed that there were a lot of younger people who came to watch The Neighbourhood. They sounded really good live, and they looked at ease up on the stage. The vibe of the concert was pretty relaxed and chilled. As the concert continued, more people started joining the crowd. What I like about The Neighbourhood is their eery sound that grabs the listener's attention. They really brought out that sound, and the band sounded just like the audio recordings. One unfortunate thing that could have been planned better is the order of songs on the set list. They played their most famous song, "Sweater Weather" in the middle of the concert. So, thinking that the concert was over after the single, several people left to go to another show. Despite that hiccup, The Neighbourhood really showed us what a talented, young band they are, and I'm glad I got to see them.

My name is Sabrina and you will definitely be hearing from me a lot in the next few months to years (trying to make that sound a lot less stalker-y as it does). I've been listening to your music since 2012 and I instantly felt a connection. The way you write and sing about real feelings that a lot of current "hit" artists sugar coat speaks volumes to me, and a lot of your fans, something I'm sure you already know.

I've never been to a concert before and the fact that the first was on #THEFLOOD2015 tour, I will definitely be cherishing forever. I saw you guys in Pittsburgh and sang along to virtually every song. I will be completely honest and say that I was a little skeptical of how the live performance would be and how it would vary in comparison to the record, but I was incredibly pleased. I was definitely shaken to the core by how the live music made me feel, a feeling that I can definitely say that I'm addicted to. I just want to thank you for that experience as well as telling you that I appreciate every single word you write and that I often find myself analyzing your lyrics during the hardest times. You guys definitely have my support 100% of the way.

The Neighbourhood was absolutely outstanding. Despite being in section C, Jesse made me feel like I was in the first row. Not once were people sitting down throughout the entire setlist. With the neighborhood having a darker image than most indie artists out there, you would expect the band to be a bit more secluded and reserved onstage. However, this ended up being the exact opposite. Jesse can work a crowd extremely well and is very charismatic. He interacted with the crowd throughout the concert. He has such a nice sense of humor. The lighting and graphics were really cool too and really made the entire show. They were more important to the concert than one would think. The overall quality of the show was an A+. The neighborhood was amazing live. In fact, they were much better live than in the studio. I showed up to the concert expecting to have a good time and ended up getting so much more than that. There's a sense of unity one feels after spending hours listening to live music you love with people who have the same taste in music as you. Without a doubt I would see them live again.

There is honestly no better place to see The Neighbourhood than in Los Angeles. The California natives' El tour blanco was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen in my life. Their energy never dies on stage, not even for the second they were told they had to cut the show a song short due to noise permits. They came back out and finished with the perfect attitude and performance. The music is impeccable if not better than the recordings of each of their songs and the graphics on the screen behind them match the vibe of the whole show as well. They can own an entire Victoria's Secret store with the amount of bras being thrown at them from the insane pit and their laid back attitude was shown when Jesse grabbed someone's phone from the pit and took some selfies making the entire crowd feel comfortable to be in their presence and ambitious to hear the music. Definitely a concert I didn't want to end.

I saw Imagine Dragons last autumn on their Night Visions Tour with NEIGHBOURHOOD and The Envy Corps. Before the concert, I listened to their album, I Love You. and I loved all of the songs. They were meaningful and were unlike any that I had heard previously. I was so intrigued by Jesse Rutherford's voice and I didn't know what to expect when seeing them live. I was not disappointed. They were AMAZING! Sweater Weather had just been debuted on the radio, so it was already a fan favorite. The song was performed better than expected and the performance itself was lively and full of energy. There was never a dull moment or any slip-ups during the entire set. This is one show that you would definitely want to see, especially if you are a fan of The NEIGHBOURHOOD or just an Indie/Alternative music fan. The NEIGHBOURHOOD is one of my favorite bands of all time, and soon may be yours too.

I put the following review on the “Bands in Town” app as well....

I’ve been to multiple concerts covering various genres over the years. So I’m not saying what I’m about to say without past experience. I am a concert junkie. I consider The Neighbourhood to be my favorite band so it hurts me more than I can express to only rate them two stars. Now I understand this was a music festival, not a solo The Neighbourhood concert, but their performance was incredibly underwhelming. Not only did they only perform about 7 songs, Jesse was-he wasn’t present with us! Me and other crowd members started to question if he was on something or just high. And...even if not, his overall performance was very dull. He sang off from the music on more than one occasion and only addressed the crowd once. Just very disappointed...I’m sorry nbhd, I still love you guys.

The Neighbourhood Releases Album and New Tour Dates

LA band The Neighbourhood’s new album is now available for purchase. 

The release of their second album Wipe Out also marks their release of new single of the same name. The self-titled track embodies the soft romantic nature of the whole album. To further that atmosphere the album was recorded at the beach and includes sounds of  the ocean throughout the album.

The new album has already garnered some attention from media sources. Stereogum said Wipe Out “… So deftly does it navigate the seams between genres and the dark back alleys of the soul.”

The Neighbourhood has also recently released a new music video for their song “R.I.P. 2 My Youth.” The song and video explore the themes of the loss of innocence and death. Most of the imagery is very dark, sometimes set inside an open coffin with a single light shining down on singer Jesse Rutherford. 

Several new tour dates have also been added to their U.S. and European tour. Tickets are available for the new dates on the band’s site . 

TOUR DATES: Oct. 30 – Las Vegas, NV @ The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan Nov. 10 – London, UK @ Heaven Nov. 12 – Paris, France @ La Flèche d’Or Nov. 16 – Berlin, Germany @ Postbahnhof Nov. 17 – Cologne, Germany @ Gloria Nov. 18 – Brussels, Belgium @ AB Club Nov. 19 – Amsterdam, Netherlands @ Melkweg Dec. 03 – Norfolk, VA @ ODU Constant Convocation Center Dec. 09 – Grand Prairie, TX @ Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie Dec. 10 – St. Louis, MO @ The Pageant

A Handy Guide to Montreal Neighbourhoods

• September 3, 2019

Last Updated on April 20, 2024 by Pamela MacNaughtan

Which are the best Montreal neighbourhoods ? It’s a good question!

Montreal is a vibrant city, full of culture and history, cool cafes and delicious restaurants. The public parks are peaceful and the churches are magnificent. One cannot experience all that Montreal has to offer in one trip.

Travelling to Montreal from Quebec City is short (2.5 hrs by car or 3.5 hrs by train), making it easy to enjoy a day trip filled with food, culture, and history – which I do often.

The best way to explore Montreal is by selecting a couple of neighbourhoods and do a deep dive. The best neighbourhoods in Montreal are easily accessible by metro – or on foot if you love walking. Who wants to deal with parking?

Are you ready? Let’s dive into some of the best Montreal neighbourhoods!

• Book a Montreal Walking Tour

Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal)

Griffintown, saint-henri, the village, le plateau-mont-royal, little italy & mile-ex, book a montreal walking tour.

One of the best ways to explore a city for the first time is through a walking tour. Led by knowledgeable and passionate tour guides, walking tours will give you a little history and culture lesson on Montreal, as well as introduce you to neighbourhood hot spots and icons.

While I have highlighted a couple in each neighbourhood, I want to also highlight the best of the BEST Montreal walking tours – no matter how many times you visit the city!

• Old Montreal Food Tour – This scrumptious food tour will guide you through the history, culture and food of Old Montreal – focusing on French cuisine. A total of five stops are included and portions are a decent size, so come hungry and wear comfy pants! This tour includes wine and beer pairings. Duration : 3 Hours • Tour price : 139 CAD
• Beyond the Bagel : One of the BEST Montreal walking tours on Jewish history, culture and food. Wander through neighbourhoods like Outremont and Mile End. Taste Jewish food. Visit landmarks and icons. The only thing that would make this tour better is a visit to Lester’s Deli . Duration : 3.5 Hours • Tour price : 108.98 CAD

The Best Montreal Neighbourhoods

The trick to exploring (and falling in love with) the city beyond the usual tourist areas is to choose a couple of Montreal neighbourhoods to focus on during your time in the city. Of course, you can always deviate from your plans at any time. Some of the best travel experiences happen at the last moment.

The oldest neighbourhood in Montreal, this beautiful area is the location of the first settlement in 1642 (known then as Ville-Marie). Rues (streets) Notre-Dame, Saint-Paul and Saint-Jacques were among the first in the city. Today, Old Montreal is one of the most tourist-heavy Montreal neighbourhoods, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid it. Everyone should visit Old Montreal at least once in their lifetime.

Start with Notre-Dame Basilica ( 110, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ) and its stunning altars and ceiling. Walk down rue Notre-Dame Est and visit Place Jacques-Cartier . Stop for a sweet treat at Bar à beurre ( 348, rue Notre-Dame Est; a favourite sweet spot !); I highly recommend a Nonno Carlo boule de beurre or a beurreo (it’s like a huge Oreo cookie, but a million times better). Walk down the cobblestones of rue Bonsecours to Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours , a charming late-18th-century chapel and one of the oldest churches in Montréal. Wander down rue Saint-Paul, admiring the architecture, stopping to shop at Bonsecours Market . If you’re feeling peckish, go to l’Auberge Saint-Gabriel ( 426, rue Saint-Gabriel ), Mangiafoco ( 104, rue Saint-Paul Ouest ), or Olive et Gourmando ( 351, rue Saint-Paul Ouest ).

Do a tour : Old Montréal Food & Drink Tour , Walking Tour of Old Montréal

Stay at : InterContinental Montréal ( 360, rue Saint-Antoine Ouest ), Hôtel Place d’Armes ( 55, rue Saint-Jacques ) , Auberge-Alternative Hostel ( 358, rue Sainte-Pierre ).

Closest metro : Place-d’Armes or Champ de Mars

Once the home of Irish immigrants (many of whom worked on the Lachine Canal), over time the Irish immigrants were slowly replaced by Jewish, Italian and Ukrainian communities. After the war, however, the area as a whole started to deteriorate as work was scarce. In time, the area became an industrial zone and remained so until 2012 when the city made the decision to revitalize the neighbourhood. Today, Griffintown is known for its art and food scene, as well as its large-scale gentrification. One of our go-to Montreal neighbourhoods.

Start at the corner of rue Peel and rue Wellington. Pop into La Bête à Pain ( 195, rue Young ) for breakfast – the Nutella brioche grillée is a must. Walk to the junction of rue Wellington and rue Mountain to visit the ruins of Saint-Ann’s church (park benches are positioned where pews once stood) before walking down rue du Square Gallery and wandering down the Lachine Canal boardwalk . A walk along the canal trail can be relaxing and offers views of the Montreal skyline.

Visit art galleries like Galerie Lisabel ( 1481, rue Ottawa ), 1700 La Poste ( 1700, rue Notre-Dame Est ) or Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran ( 1892, rue Payette ). If you’re feeling peckish (or starving) consider enjoying weekend brunch at Perles et Paddock ( 403, rue des Seigneurs ; call to reserve 514.931.0004) or Le Richmond ( 377, Ave Richmond ). Le Kitchen ( 1806, rue William ) is a cozy healthy spot with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Meatball House ( 1752, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ; call to reserve 514.933.6663) is crispy white and known for their meatballs (obviously) and other Italian favourites. One of the best sandwiches in the city can be found at Boucherie Grinder ( 1654, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ), seriously, the Philly Cheesesteak is incredible.

Stay at Hôtel Alt Montréal ( 120, rue Peel )

Closest metro : Bonaventure or Lucien L’Allier

Said to be named after Mile End in East London, UK (unconfirmed), this artsy and multicultural (Hasidic, Greek, Portuguese communities, as well as others) neighbourhood is a favourite among locals.  Known has Saint-Louis in the late 19th-century, Mile End was annexed into the growing city of Montreal in 1909. Over the years the neighbourhood has been home to several famous Canadians, including Mordecai Richler, Arcade Fire, Bran Van 3000 and more! Today, Mile End is known for its houses with their long dashing wrought iron stairs, shopping and food scene. One of the more vibrant Montreal neighbourhoods, and our favourite hang-out.

Start with the most important quest one can take in Montreal, deciding who makes the better bagel, St-Viateur ( 263, rue Saint-Viateur Ouest ) or Fairmount ( 74, Ave Fairmount ). Wander down the tree-lined streets of rue Clark and Ave Esplanade . Visit the stunning Rialto Theatre ( 5723, Ave Park ; http://theatrerialto.ca/ ), Admire the architecture of Église Saint-Enfant-Jésus du Mile End ( 5073, rue St-Dominique ) and relax at Parc Lahaie . Église Saint-Michel-Archange de Montréal ( 5580, rue Saint-Urbain ) is also quite beautiful. Shop at Annex Vintage ( 56, rue Saint-Viateur Ouest) , Boutique Vestibule ( 5170, boul. Saint-Laurent ), Boucle & Papier ( 5183, boul. St-Laurent ) and LNF Shop ( 5319, Ave Park ).

For cheap (and yummy) eats, stop in at Wilensky’s Light Lunch ( 34, Ave Fairmount ; Once visited by Anthony Bourdain, but made famous by Mordecai Richler ) or Drogheria Fine ( 68, Ave Fairmount ; $5 gnocchi never tasted so good). Lounge over weekend brunch at Sparrow ( 5322, boul. St-Laurent ) or Le Butterblume ( 5836, boul. St-Laurent ). Of course, dining at Pizzeria Magpie ( 16, rue Maguire ), La Panthère Verte ( 160, rue Saint Viateur Est ; Vegan), and Bistro Lustucru ( 5159, Ave Park ).

Do a tour : Jewish Neighbourhood Food Tour

Closest metro : Laurier and Rosemont

Beautiful neighbourhood close to Griffintown, and next to the neighbourhood of Little Burgundy, Saint-Henri was once known as Les Tanneries and home to European blue-collar workers (many of whom were of Irish descent). Today, the neighbourhood of Saint-Henri is known for its lovely Art-Deco buildings (many designed by Québec architect, Ludger Lemieux), serene parks, shopping and food scene – many of which are located along rue Notre-Dame Ouest.

Begin your foray in Montreal’s Art Deco scene at Marché Atwater . Technically, the market is located in Little Burgundy, but as it’s a gorgeous Art Deco building, it should not be missed. Other notable Art Deco buildings are Caserne 23 ( 523, Place Saint-Henri ; Fire Station), Banque Laurentienne ( 4080, rue St-Jacques ; next to Place Saint-Henri metro), former Caserne 24 ( 4707, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ) and Église St-Zotique ( 4565, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ). Relax in Parc Sir George Étienne-Cartier (rue Notre-Dame Ouest and Square Sir George Étienne-Cartier).

Shop at Totem Tea & Spice (3467, rue Notre-Dame Ouest), Atelier New Regime ( 4632, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ) and La Petite Robe Noir ( 4030, rue Saint-Ambroise ). Grab a quick bite at Grumman ‘78 ( 630, rue de Courcelle ; chilaquiles, papas78 and grilled k-towns are all good!), Tacos Frida ( 4350, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ), La Luncheonette ( 4271, rue St-Jacques ) or Sumac ( 3618, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ). The best brunches can be found at Arthur’s Nosh Bar ( 4621, rue Notre-Dame ; be prepared for a long line) and Foiegwa ( 3001, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ). For a sweet treat, head over to Rustique Pie Shop ( 4615, rue Notre-Dame Ouest ; a favourite sweet spot!).

Stay at : Repos & Manna B&B in Little Burgundy ( 2140, rue Quesne l).

Closest metro : Lionel-Groulx or Place Saint-Henri

Also known as Gay Village, this vibrant neighbourhood is should not be missed. From its rainbow-coloured ball garlands spanning across rue Sainte-Catherine (in summer) to the boutiques, antique shops, bars and restaurants. This is the heart of Montreal’s 24/7 culture. Of course, it has not always been this way. The LGBTQ community has faced many struggles in Montreal – the 1970s being a particularly turbulent decade, and the 1980s were not great either. The 1990s saw a turnaround though, and today this neighbourhood is electric with activity.

Start with a stroll down rue Sainte-Catherine , starting at rue St-Hubert. Make time for drag queen shenanigans at the always fabulous Cabaret Mado ( 1115, rue Sainte-Catherine Est ) and honour AIDS victims at Église Saint-Pierre-Apôtre ( 1201, rue Visitation ). Admire the Art Deco architecture of the former Marché St-Jacques (2035, rue Amherst). Visit the gorgeous Écomusée du Fier monde (a former 1920s public bathhouse) across the street. Participate in Montreal’s annual Pride Parade . Shop at Armada par The Men’s Room ( 1359, rue Sainte-Catherine Est ), Dinh Ba Design ( 1453, rue Amherst ) and Chez Priape ( 1311, rue Sainte-Catherine Est ). Feeling hungry?

A largest Montreal neighbourhoods/boroughs, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is also known as “The Plateau”. A working-class neighbourhood in the early-20th-century, the Plateau transitioned into a neighbourhood for both English and French bourgeoisie during the Great Depression. Over the years, the Plateau has also become home to communities of Jewish, Portuguese and Greek immigrants. Today, this multicultural neighbourhood is known for its parks, beautiful (and colourful) Victorian architecture, murals, cafés and food scene.

Start with some Instagrammable Victorian architecture on rue de Bullion and Square Saint-Louis . Visit Musée du Montréal juif (4040, boul St-Laurent) to learn about the history of Jewish Montreal. Wander up/down boul St-Laurent in search of funky murals. Relax in Parc La Fontaine ( Ave du Parc-La-Fontaine & rue Rachel Est ). Grab a quick lunch from Ma Poule Mouillée ( 969, rue Rachel Est ; Portuguese chicken) or La Banquise ( 994, rue Rachel Est ; 24hr poutine).

For an insanely delicious weekend brunch, go to L’Avenue ( 922, Ave Mont-Royal Est ) or Hof Kelsten ( 4524, boul St-Laurent ; Shakshuka!). Au Pied de Cochon ( 536, Ave Duluth Est ) is an institution but extremely busy, try L’Express ( 3927, rue St-Denis ) or Yokato Yokabi Ramen ( 4185, Drolet ). Omnivore ( 4351, boul St-Laurent ) and Arepera ( 73, rue Prince Arthur Est ; Vegan & gluten-free options available) are excellent as well. Treat yourself to something sweet at Pâtisserie Rhubarbe ( 1479, Ave Laurier Est ) or devour superb egg tarts at La Baguette Dorée ( 191, Ave Mont-Royal Est ).

Second-Largest Little Italy in Canada, this community was first established in the 19th-century but saw its biggest immigration spike shortly after WWII when workers and peasants arrived in Montreal by the thousands. The local Mercato (Marché Jean-Talon; circa 1933) was the heart of the community, as well as small cafés. Today, Little Italy, and the small industrial enclave of Mile-Ex continues to be known for Marché Jean-Talon, as well as old-school cafes, delicious food and quiet neighbourhood streets.

Begin your Little Italy and Mile-Ex adventures at Marché Jean-Talon (7070, Ave Henri Julien). Open year-round , this market is at its best in summer/fall when additional stalls are set up outside. Visit Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense ( 6800, Ave Henri Julien ) is a beautiful Romanesque church designed by Guido Nincheri and erected in 1919. If you have an opportunity to admire the colourful frescos, do it! Go shopping at Plaza St Hubert ( Bellechasse & Jean-Talon ) and visit the art galleries on boul St-Laurent . Relax in Parc Gaspé or Parc Dante .

Take an espresso at Caffè San Simeon ( 39, rue Dante ), Moustache Café ( 35, rue Beaubien Est ) and Caffè Italia ( 6840, boul St-Laurent ; circa 1956). For a quick bite, pop by Dépanneur Le Pick Up ( 7032, rue Waverly ) or Pizzeria Napoletana ( 189, rue Dante ). Dinette Triple Crown ( 6704, rue Clark ) is known for their southern comfort food, and amazing biscuits. Café Via Dante ( 251, rue Dante ), Pastaga ( 6389, boul St-Laurent ) and Impasto ( 48, rue Dante ) are known for their Italian eats. Of course, if you’re in Little Italy, the best cannoli is at Pasticceria Alati Caserta ( 277, rue Dante ).

Montréal neighbourhood: Discover Verdun

Fresh river breezes and a bustling food scene make  Verdun  a top Montréal neighbourhood to explore—no matter what the season!

Archaeological evidence around Verdun attest to the presence of Indigenous people in the area as early as 4,000 years ago. Back then, its proximity to the St. Lawrence River made it an ideal location to gather, especially in the summer months where cool breezes come off the water. Nowadays, the Montréal neighbourhood is a synthesis of working-class, long-term locals, and a flock of creative newcomers. Folks from Montréal (and beyond) keep visiting for those sweet river breezes and inventive new restaurants.

The big attractions

Waterfront.   Expansive parks line the banks of the St. Lawrence River, making Verdun one of the few neighbourhoods of Montréal to provide full access along the entire length of its waterfront. This stretch of green space is the perfect location to cycle, to rollerblade, or to simply hunker down on a blanket for a picnic of neighbourhood delights (food suggestions below). A bike path follows between the river and LaSalle Boulevard—set your GPS device for “Turtle Wharf Park” or “Monseigneur J A Richard Park” to find your way there!  

The beach.  Located behind the Verdun Auditorium, the  Verdun Beach  attracts families and small groups of people eager for a bit of sand, sun, and splashing. During the warm months, the beach is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily (except after heavy rain). No charge.

Promenade Wellington . Closed to traffic for the summer months, Wellington Street is one of the best places in Montréal for an urban stroll. Sip a frosty beverage on one of the many  terrasses , treat yourself to an ice cream cone, or simply ‘people watch’ from one of the many lounging installations. See the  Promenade Wellington website  for special events and a complete list of merchants.

Over the past decade, the food scene in Verdun has evolved at an astronomical rate. While the mom n’ pop comfort food diners still offer up classics like poutine and steamies, a gamut of other inventive bistros and sophisticated bars are introducing Hawaiian flair, vegan options, and a host of other flavours.

Brunch it out

Janine . With the colourful décor of an English tearoom, Janine is the whimsical choice for brunch in Verdun. A lot of love goes into the food. Reservations a must.

Station W .  The massive windows provide an illuminated interior and the menu offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the neighbourhood. Takeaway available.

Gear up for a picnic

Fromagerie Copette & Cie . Gourmet cheese shop with a selection of charcuterie, condiments, bread, sweets, and even fresh waffles. To streamline the process, order via their online portal.

BOSSA Prêt-à-manger . A family-run sandwich shop, with other specialities such as iced coffee and meatballs the size of small fists.

Come for the food, stay for the food

Rita . With high ceilings and big windows, Rita's atmosphere feels like an upscale restaurant but without feeling too pretentious. The pizzas are the big attraction.

Honi Honi . In a Hawaiian-themed environment, poke bowls are the big attraction. On Tuesdays you can nab two poke bowls for $29. On other days, opt for the table d’hôte. Outdoor seating available in the summer.

Archway bar santé.  This 100% plant-focused café is a must-stop for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who wants to add some botanical bliss to their microbiome.

Beba .  One of Verdun’s best-kept secrets, the menu features a blend of Spanish, Italian, and South American influences. The big attraction are the empanadas.

Les Délices de l'île Maurice .   The island flavours of Mauritius with Creole accents—all in a cheerful surrounding.

Dessert (if there’s space in your belly)

Crèmes Boboule .  This Verdun institution is  the  place for ice cream along the Wellington Promenade. All the classic flavours, plus sorbets and vegan options! Summer months only. 

Crèmerie Verdun .  With direct views across the water (search for Restaurant Crescendo), this is the place to stop while cycling or strolling the pathways along the river.

Whether for a jolt of caffeine or a refreshing glass of ale, here are some options for beverages in Verdun. Keep in mind that Wellington Street is closed to vehicle traffic, and subsequently most places offer sprawling  terrasse  space during the summer months!  

Coffee time

Sweet Lee’s . A high pressed-tin ceiling and  terrasse , this is a handsome place to pick up breads, pastries, and sandwiches. Order ahead for quick service.

Lili & Oli . The classic café near the Atwater Market has opened a Verdun location. Reliably great coffee.

Café Chato . Cat lovers unite and sip caffeine! Verdun’s cat café is open with a limited seating selection. Reach out to the owners and rent the whole space for your small group.

Palco . With the Arts de vivre team, Palco offers signature cocktails along with tasty dishes in a handsome setting. Try the Chai Bourbonade.

BENELUX brasserie artisanale . Hip yet relaxed bar that pairs craft beer with well-endowed paninis. Located in a former bank. Plenty of room on the  terrasse .

Bar Social Verdun . The interior is eclectically decorated, featuring murals and custom metal work by Verdun artists. The menu focuses on classic cocktails and craft beer.

Bar Verdun Beach . Not to be mistaken with the actual sand-covered beach, this bar is a newcomer with natural wines, beachy cocktails, and snackable food. Perfect for the mature surfer crowd.

Boutique Brock-Art . Hand-made musings from local artists!

La Librairie de Verdun . An independent bookstore on an impressive scale.

Marché Branche d’Olivier . The locals adore this place for groceries, natural cleaning supplies, and bulk items.

Chez Robin . Health food! In bulk!
