Outremont - "Beyond the Mountain"

by rmdw - last update: Nov 19, 2003

Outdoor cafés in Outremont (FC)
Outremont is a wonderful little neighbourhood on the north side of Mont Royal. In the summer it really comes to life, with dozens of wonderful outdoor cafés.
Residential Outremont Street
Outremont is a fairly historic area of Montreal. In many ways it reminds me of a blend between Paris and Chicago, but always with that unique flavour of Montreal!

Les 5 Saisons

There are exclusive shops throughout Outremont. This is the Les Cinq Saisons (5 Seasons) supermarket on Bernard. They have some neat things but it's quite pricey.

Mounted Police in Outremont (FC)
No, not all police in Outremont get around on horses! In fact, this was a rare sight. These two officers stopped to get a coffee. No accompanying donuts though. Hey, this is Outremont - delicious pastries are the norm here!
Parc Outremont, located adjacent to St. Viateur and 3 blocks West of Parc Avenue, is a magnificent place, offering venues for kids and adults alike.
Parc Outremont Fountain
An Outremont Mansion
While not as prestigious as Westmount, Outremont has a number of fine looking homes as well. There's a great use of brick, in either the traditional orange variety, but also a lovely light grey type.
Outremont is a very green neighbourhood, offering a great variety of trees, as well as large potted plants that are placed on most every commercial street in the summertime.
Parc Outremont
An Outremont Squirrel
Outremont is full of lively grey squirrels. I always bring walnuts & peanuts with me to feed them. Okay, I really shouldn't but how else are thing going to survive?! :-)

 Planning a long weekend escape for August and your tips are extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

 That "expansive set of interconnected shopping malls" sorta reminds me of Chicago! I understand Londoners went wild over Krispy Kreme, as well, when it debuted @ Harrod's! Your Baton Rouge photo is gorgeous. :) Wonderful page on Montreal.
