POINT DE PRESSE
I love this neighbourhood and I love this street. […] With their freshly made authentic Italian cuisine, Pagliaccio feels very much like you are having dinner at a friend’s home. […] The shopping here is amazing and to be attend by the designer himself Philippe Dubuc was a real treat.
I headed to lunch at French bistro Leméac on Laurier West Avenue. When I exited the car on the tree-lined street of low-rise buildings dotted with shops, restaurants and residences, I felt like I’d traveled to a different city in just 20 minutes.
La grande qualité de Laurier Ouest, c’est son caractère presque purement local. Il y a pratiquement juste des indépendants ici. Vous cherchez le proprio? Il est habituellement là, dans le commerce, en train de travailler.

WELCOME ON THE AVENUE
If you’ve never been a tourist in your city, now is the time to do it! It’s a perfect opportunity because Laurier Avenue West has everything you need to experience Montreal differently. How do you do it? Through various routes, offering 200 independent businesses (bye-bye, what you find everywhere else!), restaurants, bars, hair salons, art galleries and more, in a chic and relaxed atmosphere. All the regulars of the avenue will tell you: one walks there happily, one spends good moments around a table, a drink, a book or a painting. And we trust our shopping, taking advantage of the personalized advice, always well informed. Especially since you are recognized in the avenue and genuine connections are made.
Ageless and open to diversity, Laurier Avenue West attracts enthusiasts eager for a thousand and one unique experiences, all generations included. It’s no wonder that people are as excited about a chic designer jacket, a stylish lamp or a pair of Danish jeans as they are about a classic tie, a timeless trench coat or a classic coffee maker. It’s not surprising either that foodies and bon vivants from 19 to 99 years old make up the colorful wildlife of its bars and restaurants!
