Name: Belgo Building Address: 372, rue Sainte-Catherine O., Montreal, QC Though it has seen somewhat of an exodus of late, the Belgo remains a go-to destination for art seekers. The gallery complex unites some of the city´s very best, including Galerie Donald Browne, SBC Gallery, Pierre-Francois Ouellette Art Contemporain, Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, SKOL and Les Territoires.

Plus there´s usually some kind of student-led event happening in the Judith-Jasmin Building foyer that´s also worth a peek. Art Schools & Programs |

Name: Montréal, arts interculturels (MAI) Address: 3680 Rue Jeanne-Mance, Montreal, QC H2X 2K5 Hours: Tue-Sat 12-6pm URL: http://www.m-a-i.qc.ca/ An off-beat place where one can see art by unknowns one days and by established creators the next. It´s always a quality experience, though, and one centred around practices that negotiate different cultural origins and contexts. It´s also a great space to view dance and performance arts.

Name: SAT (Société des arts technologiques) Address: 1201, boul. Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 2S6 URL: http://www.sat.qc.ca Other than being a worthy art venue in its own right, the SAT houses FoodLab a nice, casual bar-resto and hosts a variety of electronic events that range from far-out to party-hardy. Public Gallery |

|
Name: Two-TwentyTwo (2-22) Address: 2, rue Sainte-Catherine E., Montreal, QC This art complex is the long-awaited clean-up project for Montreal´s seediest-- though storied-- street corner.

Points of Interest
 |
Name: Place des Arts Address: 175, rue Sainte-Catherine O., Montreal, QC H2X 1Y9 Hours: See website for schedule. URL: http://www.pda.qc.ca/ This is where the opera lives, among other things -- catch a performance by the award-winning Grands Ballets Canadiens, a reading by someone famous, or then again a live show by Coronation Street actors. Cinema/Theatre |
|
|
Name: Quartier des Spectacles Address: , Montreal, QC Hours: See website for schedule. URL: http://www.quartierdesspectacles.com/ There´s always something going on here, whether it´s the Jazz Fest, the Just For Laughs fest, the Francofolies, the Montreal High Lights Festival... how many festivals can one city have? Even walking around can be fun, what with the musical swings and the crazy floor fountains. Sculpture/Public Artwork / Other |
Dining
 |
Name: Bouillon Bilk Address: 1595, boul. Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 2S9 Hours: Mon-Sun 11:30am-11pm URL: http://bouillonbilk.com/ A minimalist oasis amid rundown army stores and Chinese import warehouses, this resto is just a few steps away from festivals-central. A recent favourite was the red snapper with artichokes, chanterelles and blood pudding tortellini. Meal / Drinks |

|
Name: Brasserie T!/F Bar Address: 1425, rue Jeanne-Mance, Montreal, QC Hours: Daily 11am-11pm URL: http://brasserie-t.com/ Itâ??s a little unfair to lump these together â?? oneâ??s the casual spinoff of Toqué, probably Montrealâ??s finest restaurant, while the otherâ??s the offshoot of Ferreira Café, a premier Portuguese restaurant on Crescent â?? but theyâ??re both situated in those weird glass boxes that look like bus shelters beside the Musée dâ??art contemporain in the Quartier des Spectacles. Either one is a good choice for a quick, chic meal before or after a show â?? though you may find the prices a little touristy. Meal / Drinks / Brunch |
|
|
Name: Cafe Parvis Address: 433 rue Mayor, Montreal, QC Hours: Mon-Fri 7am-11pm; Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 11am-3pm URL: http://cafeparvis.com/ Shared tables and plenty of plants create a relaxed trendy atmosphere and a chance to escape the craziness of rue St Catherine. Great for coffee, cocktails and some good eats! Quick Bite / Drinks / Coffee / Brunch |

Name: Marius Address: 50 St Catherine O., Montreal, QC H2X 3V4 Hours: Mon-Fri 7am- 8pm; Sat 11am-8pm URL: http://www.mariusprovence.com/clients/mariusprovence/ Inspired by the flavours of Provence, Marius is a great place to grab a sandwich and a coffee. Plus their food is organic and they´re eco-conscious too. Coffee / Quick Bite |

Name: Orange Rouge Address: 106 Rue de la Gauchetiere O., Montreal, QC H2Z 1C3 Hours: Tues-Fri 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm; Sat 5:30pm-10:30pm URL: http://orangerouge.ca/ Imaginative Asian fusion food that is super fresh and comes with friendly service. Drinks / Meal |
|
|
Name: Pho Bang New York Address: 1001, boul. Saint-Laurent,, Montreal, QC H2Z 1J4 A great pho spot and a mainstay for impoverished artists because of the bang for your buck. A mere $15 will get you a monster soup, imperial rolls and even a Vietnamese iced coffee all gooey with condensed milk. Coffee / Meal |
