Very chilled, hip and beautiful. Think green plants, dark wood, soft leather, and brass elements. Hushed classical music rounds it all off. Darling invites you to feel comfortable, bring your book or laptop, sip a coffee, or maybe even a daytime whiskey. The atmosphere somewhat provokes it. The large front windows look onto Parc du Portugal. The leafy trees make up for the disrupting passing cars on busy Boulevard Saint-Laurent.
By the entrance you will find a glass case with a small selection of sweet and savory pastries. If they offered freshly prepared food as well, Darling would probably be a five star establishment to me.
