  • Review this attraction

  • East meets west at this long boulevard, commonly referred to as “the Main”. Beginning at the waterfront, it designates the symbolic dividing line between the Anglophone west side and the Francophone east side of the city, although contemporary Montréal finds the division all but vanished these days. Here you’ll find designer boutiques, chic cafés and sushi bars, gourmet restaurants and up-to-the-minute nightclubs sometimes stacked two and three high, underlining the street’s international party reputation. As for shopping, you can buy almost anything you desire here, from cheap clothing to food, antiquarian books, high-tech equipment, diamonds, old newspapers, woodcarvings and other crafts, kitchenware – even gravestones.
