Food Scene
Probably my favourite place in the neighbourhood. It's a french bistro, located within a 5min walk from the apartment. They have fresh oysters for 1$ everyday from 4pm to 7pm! The place has a Parisian style decor, with red walls and iconic french actors and singers framed on every corner. It's an affordable place, if you are looking for a place to have lunch or dinner. If the weather is good, have your meal on their terasse!

Perfect place for a lazy brunch in the neighbourhood. Their coffee is awesome because you get to choose from a broad variety of coffee beans that come from different continents!

Probably one of the BEST vegan restaurant in Montreal. I use to go eat there at least once a week. Everything they serve you is "homemade", incredibly tasty and really affordable! Try their dragon sauce and the creamsicle smoothie....yummy!

Can't get more local than this. This is a street market that sells fruits and vegetables, flowers and apple syrup. It is within a 5min walk from the apartment and the stuff there is extremely affordable. I recommend 100%. Also, it stays open all night but I suggest you go there during the day to get the good stuff.

Bar on a Terrasse in the Old port of Montreal. Very nice view of the historical buildings and the Saint Lawrence River. Definitely go up there. Also, to get to the Terasse, you have to go through the Hotel Lobby, since the place is a Hotel :)

Parks & Nature
Huge Park that separates downtown Montreal from the east side. There's an iconic lake there called "Lac des Castors". Very nice place for a sunday walk, or if you're looking for a place to read on the grass! :) You can also walk up to the belvedere lookout, which gives you an amazing view of downtown Montreal.
