Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Hudson

"This perennially popular bakery and sandwich spot can feel somewhat out of place. With its cozy atmosphere in a plant-filled space, and its menu of warm panini, delicious sandwiches on artisanal breads, generous salads, and perfectly executed..."

"Drop your bags and head out to grab a coffee and a light bite at Olive & Gourmando. Then stroll down rue St-Paul, the oldest street in the city, and do a little browsing."

"Perles et Paddock is a former car garage that’s been transformed into a graceful eatery in the Griffintown district by architect Maurice Martel and Studio FX Design. Frequented by young families and hipsters alike, the Montreal restaurant does a wonderful Sunday brunch with sumptuous traditional dishes given unexpected twists. The interior has a large central marble bar, white stools, a tall tree and wooden tables all top-lit by a spectacular apex roof-light."

"C’est par téléphone ou par le service de livraison UberEats, que le Perles et Paddock offre ses créations d’inspiration internationale. Du plateau de charcuteries jusqu’à la jambalaya, en passant par tajine, empanadas et gravlax, ce restaurant du Griffintown saura plaire à pas mal tous les palais. Plusieurs plats cuisinés sous-vides et une chouette sélection de vins sont aussi disponibles."

"Featuring oysters, seared duck breast, and macarons, Perles et Paddock’s table d’hôte is sure to impress your date. And don’t worry, their vegetarian menu is just as amazing."

"This café is undeniably among the most beautiful spots in all of Montreal. Located in the venerable and grand former headquarters of the Royal Bank of Canada – once the tallest building in the British Empire – in the heart of Old Montreal, the high ceilings, marble floors and brass cashier counters will surely blow you away. Crew Collective Café is open from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, serving delicious beverages and pastries, as well as selling some funky merchandise and knick-knacks."

"Architect Henri Cleinge’s thoughtful reworking of the sumptuous 1920s banking hall at the former Royal Bank of Canada headquarters is considered one of Montreal’s most beautiful interiors. It includes the Crew Collective & Café – a truly great place to sit and take in this magnificent building. The idea behind the café is to present visitors to Montreal with a taste of the best of the city, and it serves dishes from a variety of other gourmet suppliers as well as its own prix-fix menu."

"Undoubtedly the most strikingly beautiful coffee shop in Montreal, perhaps even in North America, Crew Collective & Café is housed inside...Read More"

"Chefs like Chuck Hughes and the Joe Beef crew are among a chorus of local tastemakers to sing praises of Myriade. With three locations across the city—the ritziest of which is hiddensous-solat the Club Monaco on Ste. Catherine downtown—this local chain was one of the first to kick off the city’s craft coffee scene."

"Anthony Benda is as responsible as anyone for Montreal's contemporary independent café scene, founding this café in 2008 — he has sold the business now, but not before adding an outlet in Club Monaco's flagship downtown Montreal store, and one more up on the Plateau."

"From the owners of Le Vieux Vélo popular brunch eatery in Rosemont comes Odessa, an industrial-style cafe with a nautical theme based the eponymous port city in the Ukraine. This third wave coffee shop gets their beans from Pilot Coffee Roasters who try and directly source every bean roasted. Baristas are particularly friendly here and easy to have a little chat with as you sip on your drink of choice."

"Another café with West Coast roots, Odessa is run by the trio of Kyra Foort, Marc Arsenault and Jacob Logel. The Little Italy spot favours Toronto's Pilot Coffee Roasters."

"Set in the heart of Little Italy, Caffè San Simeon is a spot for people watching, catching the World Cup among like-minded coffee lovers, or enjoying a quick cappuccino al fresco. The tightly edited espresso-based menu—with staples likes lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos—proves, yet again, that quality matters more than quantity. Don't order almond or soy milk with fancy fixings; the milk here is whole, and the coffee packs a punch."

"Caffè San Simeon has been serving some of the best coffees in Montreal for 40 years. Known for their creamy cappuccinos, Caffè San Simeon is a laid-back coffee shop where people come to catch up with friends, not use the wi-fi. Order a cappuccino here in this vintage coffee shop that is in the heart of Little Italy in Montreal."

"Located in Montreal's Plateau district a few blocks from Mount Royal Park at the corner of Mont-Royal West and St. Urbain, Beauty's Luncheonette has been offering breakfast and lunch service since it opened in 1942. Made famous by Mordecai Richler's 1970s novel "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz,". Breakfast and brunch are served weekdays from 7 a.m."

"Maintenant ouvert depuis 1942, ce célèbre restaurant de déjeuners de Montréal est une institution montréalaise. La réputation de Beauty’s dépasse Montréal, on parle du petit resto en coin à travers le monde. La charmante maison offre un des meilleurs pancakes en ville."

"Beautys Luncheonette is sadly temporarily closed because of you know what, but when life returns to normal, sprint into Beautys and grab the blueberry pancakes."

"Nouveau Palais is a Mile-Ex classic where customers are greeted warmly and hearty dishes are served at your table. We concur that this « burger and fries palace » makes one of the best burgers in town so don’t hold back from adding bacon and cheese to your order. The portions are plentiful, starting with the large bun!"

"A post shared by Bar Datcha (@bardatcha) on Dec 31, 2018 at 10:17am PST. After checking out Old Montreal along the St. Lawrence River and enjoying classic French cuisine at one of their restaurants, head over to Bar Datcha to enjoy drinks and dancing at this Russian themed bar. There is a patio with street-side dining available as well if you desire to get your evening off to an early start."

"Datcha is a Mile End neighborhood bar and nightclub that plays an eclectic mix of electro, house, funk, disco and “multiculti” beats. Promoting both local and international DJs, this spot has a dark, intimate setting comprising two separate rooms: a dance floor in one and the Kabinet in the other, where inventive cocktails are created and served up."

"The Six Resto Lounge atop downtown Montreal's Hyatt Regency hotel opens its rooftop and garden terrace in the spring and summer each year. However, few people, including locals, even know it exists, making a visit to this hidden treasure a truly enjoyable experience, even in the heart of Montreal's busy summer tourist season. Offering views of Place des Arts and the city's outdoor festival hub below along with tapas, a bistro, and full bar of specialty cocktails, Six Resto Lounge is a great place to catch a summer sunset right on Jeanne-Mance and Ste."

"Six Resto Lounge is a swish fine wine and modern cuisine affair in the Hyatt Regency hotel directly across the street from the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, overlooking the Quartier des Spectacles. As a nice change of pace, its spot on the sixth floor ensures this rooftop bar’s got a commanding view that’s in high demand during peak festival season. No wonder: Apart from the front row, you’d be hard pressed to find a better seat for the show."

"This neon-lit Plateau crèmerie is not your garden variety parlour. For 30 years, Guy Morad has spiced up the city’s ice cream scene with a menu that offers zesty ginger, cardamom, curry, and balsamic vinegar alongside classics like chocolate hollandaise and Madagascar vanilla. While these all-natural frozen custards are the main draw, the homey hole-in-the-wall also serves up frozen yogurt, sorbet, soft serve, milkshakes, juices and soy-milk scoops for dairy-free diets."

"The friendly welcome into this tiny space is extended to each customer and the staff are very attentive, adding to the experience. Meu Meu is popular and the photos on the walls are testimony to its appreciative customers. The choice of ice cream flavours is very creative and original and we also found the homemade iced yogurts very flavourful."

"This Plateau crémerie makes frozen custard from a crème anglaise base with flavours including Madagascar vanilla, Chinese ginger, and cardamom, as well as soy milk-based ice cream, and fruit sorbets. The little bench out front is the perfect spot to enjoy a cone or cup and people-watch on Saint-Denis."

"20 Cartier Ave., Pointe-Claire Village, H9S 5L5 (see map) 514-695-5022. Choose from a wide variety of classic and more adventurous flavours of this homemade ice cream. Outdoor picnic tables available and a short walk to various local parks as well as Lac St. Louis."

"With over 40 flavours of homemade ice cream, you may have trouble deciding what to eat. For the adventurous eaters, try the King Kong, a safari hat filled to the brim with 15 scoops of your choice of ice cream. Think you can handle it?"

"Homemade ice cream in Pointe-Claire village, steps away from Lakeshore. If you live in the West Island, you know Wild Willy’s."
