MUST is much more than just a destination for designer furniture and accessories: it’s where style, accessibility, and functionality meet to transform your interior. Among its wide selection of trendy and affordable furniture, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of kitchen and dining items, small appliances, and prestigious brands like Smeg and Le Creuset. MUST also stands out for its unique collaborations with local partners such as La Bête à Pain, Café Clark, and the florist Prune les Fleurs, which enriches the customer experience. The association with this list is therefore a natural fit! Not to be missed: the exclusive sale of No. 900’s electric Forno and pizza-making classes hosted by Mirko d’Agata, every month, directly in-store. It’s the perfect spot to get inspired and stylish — all the way from the kitchen to the dining room.

However it is enjoyed, coffee has a devoted following. Did you know that coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in the world? Grown in more than 70 countries, its two largest producers are Brazil and Colombia. Coffee beans come from the berries of the coffee tree, a shrub native to the rainforest. And in Montreal, cafés where you can enjoy a great cup are incredibly popular. The city is home to the most beautiful cafés, places that blend exquisite coffee with stunning aesthetics to create an unforgettable experience.

Perhaps it’s because Montreal has a bohemian spirit, or maybe it’s simply the charm of sharing coffee with friends, family, or colleagues—affordable and always enjoyable. Whatever the reason, the city boasts hundreds of coffee shops, and many of them are not only excellent but also breathtakingly beautiful. If you’re searching for the most beautiful cafés, you’ll find spaces that offer both warmth and elegance, perfect for enjoying a well-crafted drink.

Beauty, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” According to Larousse, beauty (bellitas in Latin) represents an aesthetic ideal that evokes admiration. Montreal is home to some of the most beautiful cafés, where each space is designed to captivate and inspire through its architectural charm and ambiance.

Whether it’s their awe-inspiring, authentic architecture, their unpretentious, bohemian, and distinctly Montreal decor, or their unique minimalist details, these cafés are undeniably stunning. Some offer cozy corners filled with vintage charm, while others embrace sleek, modern aesthetics. Whatever your preference, you’ll find the most beautiful cafés that invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and take in the beauty of the space.
