While you'll find some of the most delicious eateries in every corner of the city, the Plateau is easily one of the most culinary diverse boroughs across Montreal. With well-known streets such as Rachel, Mont-Royal, Saint-Denis and Saint Laurent all being home to some of the top restaurants, it's safe to say that the Plateau is the spot to experience Montreal's food scene.
Montreal has a brand-new thermal spa just in time for the colder season. Located beneath the bustling streets of Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal lays Spa Carré Saint-Louis, a new addition to the city's wellness scene offering a complete thermotherapy and massage therapy experience.
Part of the Plateau will become a pedestrian paradise ahead of schedule this summer, as several streets close to cars and open up to foot traffic and cyclists.
Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal borough is about to become even more pedestrian friendly. Its borough council has committed to six changes to its road network aimed at making surrounding neighbourhoods safer for cyclists and people travelling by foot. Among the changes to select street sections are direction reversals, pedestrianizations and the institution of one-way traffic.
You probably know and avoid it: the 60-year-old underpass between Rosemont–La-Petite-Patrie and the Plateau-Mont-Royal on avenue Christophe-Colomb, three wide lanes of car traffic, narrow sidewalks and a bike path smushed together in a long stretch of concrete and asphalt. It's ugly and it's dangerous. Montreal counted 95 collisions involving cyclists and pedestrians on Christoph-Colomb between 2018 and 2022. The city knows it sucks. So it's going to redo it.
