Mile End

Considered hipster central of Montréal, Mile End is made up of art galleries, independent bookstores, second-hand clothing boutiques, excellent eateries, and both of the most famous bagel joints in the city. There is major debate if Fairmount Bagel or St. Viateur serves up the tastiest, Montréal-style bagels, so make sure to try both for yourself. Stop by Dragon Flowers, an overflowing array of blooming flowers and birdcages that is a fixture of the artistic fabric of the neighborhood, taste the thriving nightlife scene at the trendy outdoor venue Aire Commune, or try an artisanal beer at the legendary Dieu du Ciel. Mile End is the ideal stomping ground for any trendy and adventurous travelers who like to go with the flow.
