Monopole garners broad praise for a warm, welcoming vibe, attentive service, an extensive wine list, and tasty dishes such as gnocchi, osso bucco with polenta, gravlax and beef, with many noting the food and wine as standout and the coffee also very good. The atmosphere is described as inviting and the staff friendly. However, several visits were tempered by an uncomfortable seating arrangement for longer meals and a very loud dining room that made conversation hard, leading some to say they would not return. Prices are noted as a bit high, but the overall experience is often described as worth it, with many recommending Monopole and planning a return.View restaurant profile

Le Petit Dep is a charming, eclectic cafe and shop in Old Montreal, popular with visitors for its cozy atmosphere, quirky decor, and a wide range of local products, coffees, pastries and gifts. The café serves well-loved staples like almond croissants and a strong coffee aroma, with standout drinks such as cortados and flat whites; hot chocolate and London Fog receive high marks, while some chai drinks are noted as overly spicy or underwhelming. The space is small and often busy, with limited seating and a no laptop policy that encourages conversation rather than work. The front window and interior feel like a tiny magical store, making it a place to linger or browse souvenirs, though some visitors find prices high and the crowds tight. Service can be warm and friendly, but on busy days wait times and occasional missteps occur, and some reviews report stale baked goods or inconsistent experiences. Construction nearby and occasional lack of amenities like toilets are also mentioned.View restaurant profile
