It’s so interesting coming back to MTL after several months of moving out of the apartment I’d grown to love after 4 years. I don’t even know where to begin sharing my experience over the last few years, the things I’ve learned, the feelings I’ve felt, the people I’ve met ❤
Of course, most of my close friends know how in love I am with this place. Though there are elements that are indescribable, I try to show them my experiences by taking them to the spots I have loved.
Coming back now, I’m visiting old spots and new, and the feeling is both so familiar but so different. Perhaps it’s because of my more care-free life now, no longer a student, but not fully employed.
Here are some spots I’ve visited on my most recent trip:
Dinner at Hoogan + Beaufort, a new restaurant
Cafe Kitsuné, an old favourite
Dinner at Le Mousso
Here’s a sneak peek, but check out the full blog post!
New cafe in McGill metro
It always seems to be my curse that amazing cafés open in places I frequent the most after I move. Having a quick chat with the owner, Bertrand, I learned that they were merely 5 weeks, and pull from all Canadian roasts (and all roasteries and cafés I frequent!): Dispatch from Montréal, Transcend from Edmonton, and De Mello Palheta from Toronto 🙂
Lunch at La petite Maison
Coffee at Dispatch
Coffee at OSMO
Breakfast at Panacée
New Cafe – September Surf Cafe
Buck15 – of course a must-go for me
Obviously the whole trip was amazing because I got to experience mtl in the mentality of a graduate, without school work or internship looking down on me. I was able to really feel what it’s like to live inMontréal as an adult. I was also able to see my friends and had some really amazing bonding moments and conversations with them, which was also great.
If anyone wants a personalized itinerary for Montréal, please don’t hesitate to message me!
