Quartier Latin

Profile

A tiny, lively area centered on Rue St-Denis between Rue Sherbrooke and Blvd René-Lévesque. The name (in a nod to the Parisian namesake) alludes to the presence of a large university - in this case, UQAM.

Restaurants

Rue St-Denis, the center of this neighborhood is literally one big restaurant row here. Unfortunately, as is the case of McGill Ghetto, the preponderance of students, tourists and "transients" is not conducive to serious dining options. Fast food and "Paris on the cheap" imitation cafés abound. You'll have a much better shot if you walk a few blocks up along Rue St-Denis, cross Rue Sherbrooke and choose among higher quality restaurants of Le Plateau.
