Are you hosting some family members this holiday season? Better yet, is Posh Properties hosting them instead?!
First things first, head over to Beauty’s Luncheonette on The Plateau Mont-Royal. This 4th generation family owned and operated Montreal institution is a must!
Next, grab a coffee at Dispatch on The Main (Saint Laurent Boulevard) and walk up to the Mile-End for some shopping.
KOTN (kotn.com) is incredible for quality basics and knitwear! Once there, you cannot miss our incredible bagels at Saint Viateur Bagels down the street! Time for coffee number two, grab some cash and head to Cafe Olympico and make sure you get a nutella horn!
If you are still shopping around for a place that is close to everything Montreal has to offer – why not check out our offerings close to Montreal's Plateau – which can accommodate solo travellers and groups:
Head over to iconic Laurier Street to LeMéac for lunch in a stunning room flooded with natural light.
Enjoy a steak frites or moulles frites and a cocktail from their incredible team.
Need to walk off those fries? Take a nice long walk back downtown on Parc Avenue.
Check out the McCord Stewart Museum to see the Costume Balls / Dressing Up History exhibition.
From the McCord Museum website –
Rarely do visitors get a chance to see so many garments from the nineteenth century —that have survived in spite of being created to last a single evening— in an exhibition space.
Next, make your way to Maison Pepin in Old Montreal for a cup of hot cacao and arguably the best Christmas vibes, aesthetics and instagramable photos in the city! Now that you’re in the Old Port, walk over to the Notre Dame Basilica for a visit!
Time for a cocktail before dinner! Hit up The Coldroom for some of the best drinks in the city.
Now, for dinner, you’ll want to make a reservation at Monarque (5-star French cuisine), L’Orignal (cozy, rich, authentic) or Cafe un po di piu (playful Italian)!
