Where the bent ladies hang

You may not find the love of your life here but there will be some queer eye candy for you to savour while sipping a latte. Plus, the food is generally good too.

Le Cagibi
5490 St. Laurent
Montreal, QC
514.509.119
Vegetarian café/ bar which also hosts shows. Head down in your mismatched socks to write poetry and overhear the clientele's nocturnal misadventures.


Chez José
173 Duluth East
514-845-0693
Not really gay, not completely vegetarian. Fabulous weekend brunches.

Café Santropol
3990 St-Urbain at Duluth
514-842-3110
Massive sandwiches, fair trade coffee and vegetarian options. Pretty busy at lunch time on the weekends. Last time I was there, I counted 10 girl-on-girl couples in various states of drama. Beautiful summer terrace in the back.

Aux Vivres
4631 Saint-Laurent Blvd.
514-842-3479
A sit down restaurant that serves organic vegan food. The vegan brunch is to die for! A popular place and depending on the time of day you go, you may be encouraged not to linger over your book. Outdoor terrace in the summer.

Check out my google maps in the side bar for more queer/ queer friendly cafes, night clubs and bars.
