Grande Allée
An impressive street southwest of Old town. It begins next to the city wall about at the level of Fontaine de Tourny, leads to the Parliament, and on past Place de la Francophonie and Place George-V. Then follows a range of streetside cafés all the way to Cours du Général de Montcalm. There ends the touristically interesting part of the street.

Bar Le Sacrilège
Neighbourhood bar in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste district, a 5-minute walk from the Old City gates (Porte Saint-Jean). Known for its glass-enclosed four-season patio hidden in the backyard — one of the few heated winter terraces in the world — and for some of the cheapest pints in town. Free weekly events: chess tournament (M), run club (Tu), karaoke (W), music trivia (Th). BYO food is allowed.
