Where is the best breakfast in Montreal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It depends on your morning. For pastries in Old Montreal, go to Olive et Gourmando<\/strong> (Square-Victoria\u2013OACI). For a Montreal bagel, go to St-Viateur<\/strong> in the Plateau (Mont-Royal). For a market breakfast where you can wander and graze, go to Jean-Talon<\/strong>. Weekdays before 9:30 a.m. are usually the calmest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I sort breakfast by M\u00e9tro stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most breakfast lists are sorted by neighbourhood, which only helps if you already know where the neighbourhoods are. My question is simpler: where can I get off the train, eat something good, and still enjoy the rest of the morning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orange Line has a good answer, and it's kinder in winter, when a walk that takes seven minutes in June can feel like twenty in January. I've picked five stops out of the line's roughly 30 stations. The others may be great, but I'm not going to pretend I've eaten my way through all of them. I rode this exact stretch over three weekday mornings, testing walk times between stations and seeing which queues were actually worth standing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lionel-Groulx: Atwater Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lionel-Groulx is where the Orange and Green lines cross, so friends coming from different directions can all reach it easily. Atwater Market is a 6-minute walk from the station, straight down Avenue Atwater toward the Lachine Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market opened in 1933 and its Art Deco building still looks the part. I like it for an assembled breakfast: coffee from one place, something baked from another, fruit or cheese if you're still hungry, all eaten on the canal path. The outdoor stalls come alive after the spring thaw, making it a better bet from May through October. Atwater is listed as partially accessible, so check ahead if that matters for your route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grabbed a flat white from the coffee counter inside and a warm almond croissant from Premi\u00e8re Moisson for C$11.50, then sat by the water. Bring a tote bag\u2014you will almost certainly leave with more than you planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
