3 Hidden Gems in Montreal Most People Walk Right Past
3 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Griffintown
Rue Wellington, Griffintown, Montréal, H3C 0M1, Canada
Griffintown is Montreal's newest restaurant district — a formerly industrial neighbourhood south of the Lachine Canal that has transformed over the past decade from abandoned factories and parking lots into one of the most dynamic dining and nightlife destinations in the city.
Habitat 67
2600 Av Pierre-Dupuy, St-Jacques, Montréal, H3C 3R6, Canada
Habitat 67 is one of the most important buildings in 20th-century architecture — a residential complex of 354 identical concrete cubes stacked and interlocked in a seemingly random arrangement that creates 146 apartments, each with its own rooftop garden and views in multiple directions.
Saint-Henri
Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, St-Henri, Montréal, H4C 2H9, Canada
Saint-Henri is Montreal's working-class neighbourhood turned culinary destination — a district south of Westmount whose industrial heritage (it was the centre of Montreal's manufacturing economy in the 19th and early 20th centuries) is visible in the converted factories, the railway viaducts, and the gritty-turned-trendy Rue Notre-Dame that has become one of the best restaurant streets in the city.
