Neighbourhood profile

Planning to get together with friends to celebrate the end of exams? Then the Latin quarter is the place to go.

This area surrounding lower St. Denis Street is a crossroads of culture, entertainment, and knowledge. Home to UQAM, the Cégep du Vieux Montréal, and the Grande Bibliothèque du Québec, it metamorphizes at night, offering a wide choice of sidewalk cafés, pubs, and restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world as well as imported jewellery and clothing stores. The Cinéma du Quartier Latin and the Théâtre Saint-Denis are two of its cultural pillars – along with the Festival International Nuits d’Afrique, when Place Émilie-Gamelin comes alive with music.
