citylikeyou — Caffè Italia — Montreal by Emmanuelle Walker

Caffè Italia is an institution in town and was the first Italian café to open in Montréal in 1956. The decor probably hasn’t changed much since then. Definitely one of my top favourite places in Montreal. Their panini is worth the detour - I have rarely had such a great one, probably the best in town, if not of the whole province !

Montreal / Place

The Montreal metro opened in 1966, right before the city hosted the world expo in 1967. The metro system is one of the most visible legacies of this time, filled with Modernist architecture and design. The trains are on big rubber tires and it's warm in the winter.

Montreal / Restaurant

Pullman is the place to share very good food with friends until very late... the wine card is just fantastic! Full of discoveries... oxidative wines (Jura and other countries), orange wines and private importation from the Vesuvius in Italy or even from the Canary Islands... CRAZY!!!

Montreal / Park

Montreal has a mountain in its centre. On this mountain, there is a large park, which includes trails, forest, a lake, and a cross on top. Going on the trails, it feels like a complete escape.

Montreal / Restaurant

Recently discovered Tri's restaurant in this lovely lively place near Laurier metro station. Tri Express is the place for delicious - and affordable - refined sushi and chef's specialities. The decor is great too ! Some of you might have heard of Trì Dư because of this hilarious video of him preparing a Royal clam on a TV show that went viral a few years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrtyIqSzoYI

Mutli-generational family owned businnes, established in 1932. One of the best folks in town.
