Personally, I'm done with it. <br><br> However, I love cinema and will be the first one to admit that renting movies is not the same as going to a movie theater. A movie theater gives you the atmosphere, the sound and the focus. In the coziness of your seat, you are "inside" the story unveiling on the screen. For good movies (and I mean <i>guaranteed</i> good movies), you have to go to one of Montreal's <i>répertoire</i> (or repertory) cinemas, the best of which is Cinema du Parc. <br><br> I assumed Cinema du Parc had closed its doors a while ago, which I thought was unfortunate because it had left fewer available alternatives to watch good cinema.

I turn my head every time I hear my native language and I am definitely guilty of buying overpriced Mexican groceries (jalapeños, frijoles, tortillas, etc.) from those little depanneurs on St-Lawrence. (I am not complaining, though, as I would die without my jalapeños!...) <br/><br/> Thus, it didn't take me long to notice a small café called Café Rico, on Rachel street (corner of Boyer).

Worse, that would happen immediately after I'd answer the most common question, which is: "What have you liked the most in Montreal so far?" La Grande Bibliothèque is definitely one of the top things on my list and when I mention it many people seem surprised...
