Le Darling

Montréal


A mix of cafe, cocktail bar and bistro, Le Darling is a one-stop spot for top-notch drinks and bistro-quality eats. Straddling a corner on Blvd St-Laurent, just a few blocks from Mont-Royal, this vibrant hybrid has lush tropical plants hanging from the ceiling and a seemingly endless collage of vintage decor. Come day or night.
