                <description><![CDATA[Great lounge-cum-restaurant on the the trendy Saint-Laurent Boulevard, with good food and equally well-made drinks. I recommend the martinis. Perfect place to kick off the evening while waiting for the clubs to get started.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This fairly average gay-bar in the heart of the (gay) village has a fantastic roof terrace that's open in the summer. The beautiful people that this place attracts can be found frolicking in the open air jacuzzis. I was there on a Sunday afternoon in June, the sun was hot and the sangria was flowing - great place to soak up the city's vibe.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This stretch of cobble stone street between St Laurent and Square Saint Louis is forbidden to cars. There are lots of outdoor restaurants, bars, cafes, and it's packed with people at night, especially in the summer. Square Saint Louis is a gem too.]]></description>

                <title>Les Trois Brasseurs</title>

                <description><![CDATA[Les Trois Brasseurs is a wonderful brew-pub with all the shiny copper brewing paraphenalia in situ. The interior is enormous as is the warm North American welcome. Lots of bar-stools lots of tables and chairs, good music and the custromers are chatty, not exhibiting the normal big city paranoia.<br><br>Apparently there are three such Trois Brasseurs so they are not exactly a chain. I discovered the bar in the depths of last winter, minus 20°. Talk about coming in from the cold! Anyway there were their own three draught beers on offer blonde-bitter, brune-mild and rousse-amber. I would have tasted the lot a few times each but my better half put the brakes on.<br><br>Women would be at ease on their own there as it is very cosmopolitan quite different than the average bloke's tavern.<br>Be warned the stools and seats are very comfortable...it is very hard to leave especially in January.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Because it's the best and the coolest and the classiest local jazz club in Montréal. Good menu with great ambience; jazz is always good, and always full of locals. Generally a cover charge, depending on the band, so you'll be among the non-student scene of the city. Size is fairly small, so while it's great to have a conversation and be able to see the musicians' actual fingers play (and both of these at the same time), you will risk not getting a seat if you show up after 22h30.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Casa del Popolo is the very best venue for new music, and a lovely place to have a beer and some veggie food in the afternoon. (Try the back garden.) <br><br>And Dante Hardware, on Rue Dante near Jean Talon Market, is something you'll only find in North America: a store that is half fine cookware, half hunting rifles! Not to be missed.]]></description>
