Café Krieghoff

Description:

• Walk down Grande-Allée about 10 minutes from Parliament, and turn right on avenue Cartier. This 5-block strip is the heart of the Montcalm residential neighborhood, with bakeries, boutiques, an Indian restaurant, and a mini-mall of food shops. In the middle of it all is this cheerful cafe, which features an outdoor terrace a few steps up from the sidewalk. On weekend mornings, it's packed with artsy locals of all ages, whose tables get piled high with bowls of café au lait and huge plates of egg dishes, sweet pastries, or steak frites. Service is efficient and good-natured.
