Café Olimpico

Montréal


Its espresso is excellent, yet this rocking, no-frills Italian cafe is all about atmosphere, as young good-looking baristas whip up smooth caffeinated drinks for the jumble of hipsters, tourists and elderly gentlemen who pass through. It’s big on sports (especially the Italian football league), so there are TVs inside.

In spring and summer, the benches of the sunny outdoor terrace are a people-watching paradise.
