Montreal's Little Italy
Italians are Montreal’s largest ethnic group. So it is no wonder that Montreal’s Little Italy (La Petite Italie in French) is so live and vibrant. Located towards the north end of St-Laurent Boulevard, this is the area where the first Italian immigrants settled in Montreal. Today, Little Italy is filled with shops, social clubs, restaurants, cafés and bars.
There are many fine Italian restaurants and shops in Little Italy. However, the Jean Talon Market is Little Italy’s star attraction. The Jean Talon Market contains various shops and produce stands that serve everything from fresh Italian Parsley to Calamari. The shops in Little Italy compete year-round with each other to attract customers and the streets are always overflowing with pedestrians. This is what gives Little Italy its year-round festive atmosphere.
Little Italy is on the East end of Montreal and is about 5 minutes away from downtown Montreal.
