Timeline
08:00
Pick up hot, wood-fired bagels. St-Viateur Bagel is open from 06:00, so you can catch them fresh and early. Bring your own bag or buy one there. Cash only.
08:15
Walk to Olive & Gourmando for a fresh sandwich or a savory tart. It is open from 08:00 on Tuesdays through Saturdays, making it a perfect second stop for a lighter lunch or a substantial snack to take with you.
08:45
Head to Pointe-à-Callière Museum. This modern museum is built over the ruins of Montreal's first settlement and uses audiovisual technology to tell the story of the city's origins. The walk from the Mile End area is about 65 minutes, but if you are already in the vicinity or have transport, it is the key cultural stop. If you are starting from the bagel shops, you will need to check the route to get here.
