Have you just spent hours at the office or in the classroom and feel as though time has slipped through your fingers without leaving you a moment to yourself? If your long day hasn’t left you without energy, we’ve got good news for you! Côte-des-Neiges is a night owl, and doesn’t doze off until several hours after dark.
What better way to start than with a refreshing drink? Presotea offers an unlimited variety of bubble tea, smoothies, and slushes, knows across the city. Then, make your way to the South along chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges and continue on chemin Queen Mary for your next stop. We are of course talking about the superb Saint-Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, Montréal’s iconic basilica. Don’t miss the remarkable panoramic view on the island’s Northwest. You could take the opportunity to sip your drink while watching the stunning sunset! Once the night has settled in, we invite you to the famous Duc de Lorraine. Enjoy a savoury supper accompanied by a cocktail or an authentic French pastry on the terrasse or the placette with a charming view of the Oratory. Now, off to our next destination for a change of scenery! Head to the corner of avenues Gatineau and Lacombe to Resto-Bar La Maisonnée. For 50 years, this bar has welcomed the students, workers, and residents of Côte-des-Neiges, creating a warm ambiance every evening. If you’d like to make your melodious voice heard, come by on a Thursday night for karaoke! After this productive night, don’t hesitate to stop by Marché Jean-Brillant, open 24/7, and pick up a small box of tasty québécois strawberries or blueberries for the road.
