Fodor's Expert Review Café Olimpico
Ranked one of the world's best cafés by the UK's Telegraph, this unpretentious 1970s-style café is popular with locals for Italian pastries like cannoli and pistachio bomboloni and, of course, great espresso made from a secret blend of six different coffee beans. It's also a good place to get a feel for authentic Montréal. Families and suits alike head to Café Olimpico in the morning to kickstart their day, and the patio is overflowing with hipsters on sunny days. Baristas here know their craft and the grinding of the espresso machine is a welcome melody to serious coffee drinkers.
