LE PLATEAU

Welcome to the Plateau Section.

Just north of downtown and east of Mount Royal lies Montreal’s trendiest neighborhood. One of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Canada, with nearly 100,000 people living in a 7.75 square kilometer area, weekend street fairs during the summer can see extremely bustling streets. Characterized by brightly-coloured houses, cafés, book shops, and a laissez-faire attitude, The Plateau was formerly a working-class neighborhood. The combination of different immigrant societies—notably many Portuguese and Spanish-speakers—adds to Montreal’s feeling of tolerance and contributes to our unique atmosphere.
