Saint-Denis Street – between Gilford and Roy Streets
Shopping Leisure activities Outdoor Plateau-Mont-Royal and Mile End
This "in" artery of the Plateau features stately 19th-century stone townhouses with winding, wrought-iron staircases and adornments such as parapets and cornices. A stroll along this upscale street reveals a multitude of terraces, cafés and restaurants, in addition to charming boutiques, whose pretty windows beckon with creations from Québec’s renowned fashion designers, beautiful and exclusive wares for the home as well as treasures in music and literature. From art galleries to bookstores to performance venues, this strip is a popular destination for Montréal francophone culture. Home to the French-Canadian bourgeoisie in the late 19th century, the artery was also frequented by writers, poets, painters and sculptors.
