"I love this neighborhood and I love this street. [...] With its authentic, freshly prepared Italian cuisine, Pagliaccio really feels like dining at a friend's house. [...] The shopping here is incredible, and being served by the designer himself, Philippe Dubuc, was a real pleasure..."

Bill Panoff – Porthole Cruise and Travel

 

"I went to the French bistro Leméac on Laurier Avenue West for lunch. When I got out of the car on this tree-lined street with low buildings, dotted with shops, restaurants, and residences, I felt like I had traveled to another city in just 20 minutes.."

Nathan Diller – USA Today

 

The great thing about Laurier Ouest is that it's almost entirely local. There are practically only independent businesses here. Looking for the owner? They're usually right there in the store, working away.

Avenue Laurier West

If you’ve never played tourist in your own city, now is the time to do it this summer! It’s perfect timing, because Laurier Avenue West has everything you need to experience Montreal in a whole new way. How? Through a variety of itineraries featuring 200 independent shops (bye-bye, run-of-the-mill stores!), restaurants, bars, hair salons, art galleries, and more, all in a chic and relaxed atmosphere. Anyone who frequents the avenue will tell you: it’s a joy to stroll along, enjoy a meal, a drink, a book, or a painting. And you can shop with confidence, taking advantage of personalized, always insightful advice. Especially since on the avenue, people recognize you and form genuine connections.

Timeless and open to diversity, Laurier Avenue West attracts aficionados eager for a thousand and one unique experiences, across all generations. It’s no surprise that people are just as excited about a bold jacket from a local designer, a designer lamp, or Danish jeans as they are about a classic tie, a timeless trench coat, or a timeless coffee maker.
