The best addresses in Mile-Ex
Formerly a working-class neighborhood, populated by medium-sized factories and workshops, Mile-Ex (a contraction of Mile-End and Parc Extension, two districts of Montreal) has become a very trendy place since the early 2000s. Today, architects, musicians, and other new wave artists flock here. Good restaurants, exciting bars, and warm cafés have, of course, made their appearance and contribute to the current buzz.
Here we present a few of them in this non-exhaustive list.
Happy discoveries, bon appétit, and have a great time if you choose one of these trendy bars!
Anemone
Opened at the gates of Parc-Ex in 2021, this small restaurant immediately drew crowds. The presence of Minh Phat in the kitchen or involved in menu creation is certainly a key reason. His menus, crafted by him, don’t reflect any particular traditional Asian cuisine but rather a fusion of all Asian cuisines, offering a delicious explosion of flavors. Dine-in is available in the evenings from Wednesday to Saturday, and takeout can be ordered on the same days.
