McGill Ghetto

Just north of downtown and just west of the Plateau, McGill Ghetto is a small university enclave populated mostly by McGill University students and, to a lesser extent, its faculty.

Attractions

Although the neighborhood is almost entirely residential, many of its blocks are absolutely gorgeous. If you happen to visit in late Fall, you'll be treated to a colorful combination of turn-of-the-century houses, brightly colored leaves and subtle quasi-academic disarray of the tree-lined streets. Fans of modern architecture may want ot walk by McGill School of Music on Rue Sherbrooke, in the southern part of the neighborhood.

Restaurants

There are almost no serious dining options in McGill Ghetto, the neighborhood being overwhelmingly oriented towards providing inexpensive food options for local student populace. One highlight that might be of interest to visitors is Lola Rosa - a small quasi-vegetarian Franco-Mexican restaurant located right on Ghetto's main drag, Rue Milton. Other dining options can be found on Avenue du Parc, but nothing outstanding has been spotted.

With that said, Pullman is a good, stylish choice for a snack and an apperetif.

I am happy to recommend this cosy, hip (but not slick) wine bar, which despite being located in a place not conducive to any kind of nightlife (with the lights of the Provigo supermarket intruding through the large plate glass windows), offers quite something in other regards.
