A little gourmet tour of Beaubien Street East
Beaubien East is a very popular street for Montrealers. In the heart of the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, it is a commercial artery that’s very pleasant to stroll along, as you will stumble upon beautiful local businesses as well as many gourmet addresses. This more commercial aspect does not detract from the neighbourhood life and residential character of the street, but rather contributes to it. The presence of numerous parks, notably Beaubien and Molson, attracts crowds in the summer to enjoy the sun, while in the winter it is more for skating. We also note the presence on Beaubien Street East of a few Montreal institutions such as Cinema Beaubien, whose emblematic frontage overlooks Molson Park. These institutions bear witness to the rich history of this street.
As on all the commercial arteries of the city, there is no shortage of good gourmet addresses on Beaubien Street East. Whether you’re looking for a place to have a drink or a coffee, or rather something to eat, you’re spoiled for choice. During the summer season, the terraces invade the avenue and you can people-watch epicureans enjoying themselves all day long.
