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.

Falco is a really nice Japanese coffee shop focusing on siphon coffee. It's located in what use to be an industrial part of the Mile End but is now mostly creative businesses. It's one of my favourites place to work or have meetups since it's huge and pretty close to my studio.
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 !
