Old Montréal West

The name says it all: Old Montreal is the city’s oldest neighbourhood, and with the patrimonial architecture to show it too. Walking through the cobblestone streets, you might see a film set simulating Paris or another European city. A touristic destination, Old Montreal is known for its vast number of galleries, boutiques and French bistros. These days, however, the neighbourhood is diversifying, as younger crowds of locals working in surrounding agencies flock to the many new trendy cafes and art centers.

Named after the term used by the Japanese to describe expats fleeing their country at the onset of World War II, Flyjin is a tucked away coffee shop offering a warm yet eclectic atmosphere. Having taken over the historic Café Vieux-Port, one of the first coffee shops in the city, Flyjin replaced its predecessor’s diner-dive vibe with one-of-a-kind stools, nearly-monochrome colours, and faceless decals adorning the walls. On a given weekday, you’ll find office workers sipping on coffee brewed from locally-roasted Kittel beans, and enjoying quick and welcome break from their busy schedules.
