I quietly open my eyes. The sun sneaks through the curtains. It is a summer Friday that promises to be perfect. The kind of day when it is not too hot, and which I know will not end before dawn … But, instant of panic, I have no plan at the agenda!
A beautiful day like that is to explore and go on an adventure. I call friends with a proposal that is impossible to refuse: “What if we put some elements on our list of objectives?” »With the mission of discovering as many places as possible, we establish the perfect schedule.
To start, we meet the wave in Guy, in Lasalle, where surfers and surfers make prowess on this mythical eternal wave. They are observed, coffee in hand.
The banks are the right place to give yourself the impression of being traveling.
The eyes closed, we hold out to perceive the river sounds. And if the desire takes us to try to catch a wave ourselves, we may do it with the help of KSF.
After this moment of respite, we get on our bikes and take the direction of Verdun to explore the Wellington promenade. Business jewelry is there! To read, there is the Verdun bookstore and the Pulp Books & Coffee, which specializes in English -speaking literature. For a small rise, many cafes are available to us, such as Lili & Oli, the Station W, Saint-Henri and Sweet Lee’s.
And for people passionate about second -hand discoveries like me, several thrift stores are full of treasures.
Hunger starting to be felt, a stop at the Janine restaurant is essential for a gourmet brunch.
The decor recalls the aesthetics of English tea salons, which still gives us the impression of being traveling.
We order three different plates to get in each and offer a real royal feast.
Back on our bikes, this time we take the management of the Atwater market.
As soon as we arrived, while contemplating the impressive selection of plants, we can’t help but launch “wow!” “And” Did you see the colors of that one? ».
Already, we imagine getting our balcony with two, three or a thousand plants. Thanks to the precious advice of staff with a green thumb, we choose the plants best suited to our apartments and we leave with the certainty that this year will be the one where we will become gardening specialists.
Obviously, it is impossible to spend time at the Atwater market without enjoying a few dishes. We start with a stop at Satay Brothers to order colorful plates, accompanied by a pearl tea, of course. Our visit ends, but we are already planning the next one.
To close the day, two options are available to us. If, after our last beer, we want to laugh, we will go to the brothel comedy club for an evening of humor. But if our mood is more at the party, we will take the direction of SAT for one of its Dômesicle evenings, an immersive experience that mixes projections under a dome, electro music and dance until the early morning.
The day ends, but already I make the promise that the next time I wake up without a plan by a sweet summer morning, I will write to my friends so that we go to explore a new district of Montreal. Each place hides so many good addresses.
Who knows what awaits me next time? A jump in bungee? The discovery of my new favorite coffee?
