Mile End Cafés and Restaurants

Mile End's restaurants reflect its diversity. French cuisine is no longer the king here, replaced by a pan-European mix. In some areas, for example on Avenue du Parc (on the border with the borough of Outremont), one cuisine (in this particular case, Greek cuisine) prevails, but overall it's pretty heterogeneous.

Montreal's bagel culture is on display on Rue St-Viateur and Rue Fairmount where two eponymous bagel institutions are found. Rue St-Viateur is also home to Café Olimpico (124, rue St-Viateur Ouest) which despite not making it to our very selective list of cafés, remains a local coffee institution.

The following are restaurants and cafés in Mile End that we profiled:

Bu
5245 Boulevard St-Laurent (Mile End), (514) 276-0249
Bu was "inspired by the great wine bars of Europe". The wine options include the weekly selection of some 25 wines offered by the glass, as well as a 500-entry complete wine list. The kitchen serves Italian cuisine.

La Chronique
99 rue Laurier Ouest (Mile End), (514) 271-3095
Eclectic "market cuisine" restaurant; winner of many gastronomical awards.

Milos
5357 Avenue du Parc (Mile End), (514) 272-3522
Milos is considered one of the best Greek restaurants in the city. The accent here is on seafood.
