Time Out magazine has released its list of the coolest neighborhoods worldwide, and Montreal is the only Canadian neighborhood to make the cut.
This recognition is thanks to the many advantages that the Saint-Henri area offers, which is beloved by locals and visitors from across Canada and around the globe.
Time Out highlights that this southwest Montreal neighborhood is famous as a foodie destination, featuring a plethora of delicious restaurants and cafes.
Notable spots include Satay Brothers, which serves up mouthwatering Southeast Asian dishes, and Eva, a “super stylish” breakfast spot with a modern design.
But beyond being a great place to enjoy food, Saint-Henri is also praised for its location.
The neighborhood is situated next to the Lachine Canal, making it an ideal spot for outdoor activities, from paddleboarding for the adventurous to picnicking for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere.
In Saint-Henri, you’ll also find Montreal’s famous Atwater Market, along with charming boutiques and fashion shops along Notre Dame Street.
Time Out even includes a suggested itinerary for planning your “perfect day” in Saint-Henri. The publication recommends stopping by cafes like Cordova and Campanelli, and checking out art exhibitions at Bradley Ertaskiran.
As for the best time to visit, Time Out advises planning your trip for mid-spring or fall to truly enjoy the sights, sounds, eateries, and shops of Saint-Henri.
