After spending the majority of my Montreal trip in Le Plateau and other small surrounding hoods, I decided to venture into the more touristy area of Old Montreal to take in the sights. We started in the main downtown area walking along and decided to swing by Notre Dame on our way to the old port. In need of a coffee that wasn't from Starbucks we found this cafe.
When we first walked in, there was a cluster of tourists jamming up the works. I don't know why but they were taking pictures of everything they could find and letting nobody through. This was a red flag, but we marched on. With the confusion it was tough to figure out if we were to go through the line or sit at a table. We found out we could sit but then it was almost ten minutes before anyone came to serve us. We could have just finished waiting in line at that point.
Aside from the chaos on the way in, everything else was amazing. I had an amazing chocolate pot de creme and an americano. I would have stuck around for some macaroons, but everything was just taking too long and we needed to get moving.
Pro Tip: The bathroom is up the elevator on the 4th floor.
