Food Scene
It's got cachet. Live jazz music. Delicious sangria. Ambiance plus. Yummy crepes. Trilingual wait staff. A lovely back terrace. Did I mention the delicious sangria? A very reasonably priced (for Old Montreal) menu. And you must try the traditional "pouding chômeur" dessert.

It's trendy. It's always busy. It's a spot many people like to go to to be seen, dance, flirt. If you don't like it, you are still on one of the more interesting streets in town (St. Laurent) which used to be the wholesale / red-light district back in the day. There are dozens and dozens of other clubs, pubs and resturants you can go to.
