Great queer-owned and queer-friendly addresses in Montreal
Montreal is a great place to live. People from all walks of life live together in harmony and can proudly celebrate their cultures, values and identities. The LGBTQ+ community is very active on the island of Montreal and contributes to all sectors of activity that make the city beautiful. This includes the arts and culture and, of course, Montreal’s world-renowned culinary and gastronomic scene. Every year, the Montreal Pride Festival showcases the diversity of Quebec’s metropolis to the world. Thousands of people attend to celebrate sexual and gender diversity. The atmosphere that reigns in the streets during the festivities is greatly appreciated, as the exchanges and open-mindedness leave no room for judgment or intolerance.
The same is true for restaurants and bars in the city, the vast majority of which are places where everyone is welcome. Many of these places are owned by members of Montreal’s LGBTQ+ community. These queer-owned and queer-friendly bars and restaurants have the advantage of guaranteeing an inclusive and comfortable environment for customers and employees. While we love diversity on our plates, we love to support the diversity of the people behind them even more.
