Bite into Little Italy and Villeray

Italian taste lives here

The world is yours to taste

Ristorante, pasticcerie (mmm cannolis) and caffè – Piccola Italia  remains filled with Italian flavour. Block at least a day (or three meals) to explore this foodie’s paradise named Little Italy after a great wave of Italian immigration in the early 20th century. With the renowned Jean-Talon Market at its side, Villeray will satisfy appetites guaranteed – but architecture fans will find plenty to amaze at too. The many Art Deco buildings around the market lead to rows of picturesque residential streets, tree-lined and filled with painted spiral staircases – a Montréal classic.
