L’Île Noire

Montréal


Roll into this slice of the Scottish Highlands in the heart of the Quartier Latin and sip from the selection of more than 140 scotches and whiskeys, as well as 15 varieties of beer on tap and several dozen wine choices.

The vibe here is decidedly less bohemian than other watering holes on Rue St-Denis, perfect if you want to take a breather from the surrounding carnival.
