Moleskine
Designed by Bruno Braën, Moleskine is the latest venture from the successful Pullman team. On the first floor it’s a casual pizzeria in an industrial decor while on the second floor it’s a fine dining restaurant. As if that wasn’t enough, outside it’s an ice cream and coffee counter where you can order from the window on Avenue du Parc. And the ice cream parfaits are…parfait.

Le Petit Dep
Le Petit Dep is a lot of things: an aqua-blue historic building from 1822, a convenient store in the heart of Old Montreal, an instagram worthy shop, a pastry shop, an ice cream joint and a prêt-à-manger counter.
