Quebec mores

In Quebec, it has been customary for many years for the majority of leases to end on July 1. Although July 1st coincides with Canada Day, landlords have traditionally chosen this date to allow children to finish their school year without changing schools.

This year, on the occasion of July 1st, our real estate brokers and administrative team wanted to share their best tips and tricks for a successful move!

Things to remember

Change your property address:

Canada Post
RAMQ, SAAQ, your insurance company
Your financial institution
Service providers (Hydro Québec, Internet…)

Check elevator fee regulations:

If you live in a divided or undivided condominium, chances are you’ll need to reserve the elevator to facilitate your move. However, some condominiums charge a fee for this reservation. So it’s essential to find out in advance about the regulations in force in your building, to avoid any surprises on the big day.

Tips and tricks from our team

Veronica advises you to bring sufficient transport boxes to ensure that your valuables all have a designated place and can safely withstand the move! The trick is to use color coding to distinguish between items and their respective places in your new home.

Clara recommends one or more meditation sessions before the big day! Yes, moving has been proven to be one of the biggest sources of stress, so it can be very beneficial to take the time to rest and meditate in the days and hours before the movers arrive!

Frédéric advises you to reward the people who help make your moving day a successful and memorable one! Beers and pizzas are now a tradition for anyone who volunteers to help their loved ones on this big day! If you’re familiar with our team, you’ll know that Panzeria is our favorite address for succulent focaccia pizza and exquisite Italian dishes!

Finally, our team of real estate brokers recommends that you start by furnishing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. By prioritizing these essential rooms, you’ll quickly find your bearings and a certain comfort in your new home.

Happy moving to everyone!

This week, Clara, a real estate broker on our team, invites you to discover a new gourmet address on the Plateau: Zarina Café.

Le Zarina Café: A new gourmet address on the Plateau

Located on Duluth Street, this Latin American patisserie opened its doors in December 2023. Owner Zarina is originally from Venezuela, where she already ran her own patisserie. Fleeing conflict in her native country, she chose to settle in Quebec, more specifically on the Plateau Mont-Royal.

Zarina Café offers delicious pastries, including alfajores. These little treats, which resemble cookies originally from Spain, are very popular in Latin America.

From the moment she walked in, Clara was immediately seduced by the decor. In particular, the harmonious combination of pink and blue. Zarina explained that she had chosen these colors for a very special reason: pink is her favorite color, and blue is her husband’s favorite. On one of the store’s walls is a panel of pink and white flowers that perfectly complements the space.

During her visit, Clara, our real estate broker, selected several flavors to treat her family. She confided to us that her loved ones were won over by these pastries, especially the chocolate one.

Zarina Café joins the ranks of Plateau must-haves

The Plateau is renowned as a gastronomic hub in Montreal, thanks to its restaurants and bakeries. Zarina Café is a natural choice as one of the neighborhood’s must-try pastry shops, complementing such gourmet addresses as La Beignerie and Bulla Café.

We invite you to follow the lead of our team of real estate brokers in Montreal and visit Zarina Café, located at 68 Avenue Duluth Est, on the Plateau Mont-Royal.

In honor of Poutine Week, an annual event celebrated by many restaurants in Montreal, our real estate brokers decided to test two must-visit spots on the Plateau Mont-Royal: La Banquise and Ma Poule Mouillée.

Located across from each other on Rachel Street E, near La Fontaine Park, these two restaurants attract locals and tourists all year round. In the summer, takeout orders become especially popular as visitors settle in the park to soak up the sun while enjoying the greenery and a warm poutine.

One of the biggest questions new Plateau Mont-Royal homeowners often ask is: “La Banquise or Ma Poule Mouillée?”

Our brokers couldn’t resist and not only highlighted these two Montreal foodie landmarks but also took the time to test them out for lunch!

La Banquise : 994 Rue Rachel Est

Located in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal, La Banquise is a staple for poutine lovers. Originally founded in 1968 as a small 24-hour snack bar, it quickly made a name for itself thanks to its impressive variety of poutines. From classic versions to more indulgent ones topped with unique ingredients like bacon, sausages, or even guacamole, there’s something for every taste.

With its vibrant decor and friendly atmosphere, La Banquise attracts both locals and tourists looking for a quintessential Quebec experience. Whether it’s for a late-night craving or a comforting meal with friends, this spot is the perfect place to indulge in Quebec’s most famous dish.

Ma Poule Mouillée : 969 Rue Rachel Est

Right across from La Banquise on the Plateau is Ma Poule Mouillée, another essential stop—this time for lovers of Portuguese cuisine in Montreal. Famous for its charcoal-grilled chicken and spicy piri-piri sauce, this counter-style restaurant has built a loyal following, with customers gladly waiting in line for their turn.

One of its standout dishes is the legendary poutine, a creative twist on the Quebec classic. It features grilled chorizo, melty cheese curds, and a signature house sauce that blends Portuguese flavors with the indulgence of a traditional poutine. You can even choose between spicy or regular! With its generous portions and great value for money, Ma Poule Mouillée has secured its place among Montreal’s top food destinations.

Living on Plateau Mont-Royal: A Dream for Food Lovers and Architecture Enthusiasts

Living on Plateau Mont-Royal, one of the most sought-after residential neighborhoods in Montreal, means having access to an incredible food scene right at your doorstep.

Between its colorful facades, classic duplexes, triplexes, and single-family homes, the Plateau is packed with local shops, cozy cafés, and fantastic restaurants. Not to mention lush green spaces like Parc La Fontaine, which bring a touch of nature to this vibrant urban setting.

Our team of Montreal real estate brokers has a few simple tips to help you celebrate a greener Christmas.

Prioritize natural decorations

According to the International Reference Center for Life Cycle Assessment (CIRAIG), buying a natural Christmas tree is generally better for the environment. In fact, the ecological impact of a natural tree is lower, provided it is composted or recycled after the holidays. However, buying an artificial tree is only ecologically advantageous if you plan to keep it for at least 16 years.

For its part, the David Suzuki Foundation recommends avoiding PVC decorations. Unless they are used for an extended period of time, at least 20 years, in order to limit their ecological impact.

Reuse packaging from previous years

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to reuse packaging from previous years. This simple gesture can have a significant impact on the environment, and is easy to adopt. In fact, according to ESG’s Observatoire de la consommation responsable, 46% of Quebecers already practice this habit.

Another way to adopt an eco-friendly approach to your packaging is to use newspaper that you already have at home. Not only does this reuse paper, it also makes your gift wrapping more original.

Choose second-hand gifts

The holiday season often brings gifts and Christmas lists. When your loved ones share their Christmas lists with you, it’s a good idea to take a moment to check whether these items are available on second-hand platforms. Such as MarketPlace, Kijiji or thrift stores. By opting for these alternatives, you can not only save money, but also give objects a second life, while reducing your environmental impact.

Choose your holiday cards wisely

Christmas presents are often accompanied by greeting cards. To make this accessory more environmentally friendly, we suggest you opt for cards from Quebec companies, designed to be seeded. Not only does this reduce waste, but it’s also a great way to contribute to nature by transforming them into beautiful plants after the holidays.

Prioritize activities over physical gifts

Choosing activities instead of material gifts is a great way to reduce your ecological footprint while enjoying quality time with your loved ones. Our team of real estate brokers will share with you some experiences to be had in Montreal.

For your creative loved ones, we suggest offering them a unique experience at Céramic Café, where they can create a work of art in their own image while sharing a pleasant moment in good company. If you’d like to explore your creativity from another angle, we recommend a visit to Café Moonday, located in the Plateau-Mont-Royal. This café is the ideal place to create your own candle in a warm, trendy atmosphere.

For movie lovers, our team of real estate brokers suggests a gift card to Cinéma Beaubien in Rosemont. This establishment stands out for its diversified programming, featuring local productions as well as international works. What’s more, the cinema’s retro ambience creates a unique atmosphere conducive to an unforgettable cinematic experience.

For food lovers, we recommend the Spanish restaurant Mesón, located in the Villeray district, for a unique culinary experience in the heart of the metropolis.

We hope these practical tips from our real estate brokers will help you adopt new habits this holiday season, to help preserve our planet.

This week, our team of real estate brokers had the pleasure of discovering Café Camas, nestled inside second-hand clothing boutique Le Ninety. This vintage boutique, already well known on the Plateau-Mont-Royal, has chosen to join forces with a charming café to become an obligatory stop for all those on the move on Rue St-Denis.

A successful collaboration: Le Ninety x Le Café Camas

It’s now possible to discover unique fashion pieces while enjoying a good cup of coffee, thanks to their partnership with Café Camas. The new café, located in the Le Ninety boutique, offers a selection of delicious coffees accompanied by homemade pastries. From now on, you’ll have the choice of settling down on their comfortable vintage sofas, or opting for a seat at their vast black table ideal for collaborative work.

Le Ninety

Le Ninety is a high-quality second-hand clothing boutique. This boutique was created in 2022 and is located in the heart of the Plateau-Mont-Royal, at 4361 Rue St-Denis. The company offers a wide selection of clothing, from ready-to-wear to shoes. The boutique attracts a young clientele as well as fashion enthusiasts looking for unique pieces. It is also possible to reserve the space to organize an event. This multidisciplinary space can accommodate up to 200 people. It’s the ideal place to hold your next 5 à 7 in the heart of the Plateau!

Café Camas

Café Camas opened its doors in 2022 in the lively Griffintown district. Its name was inspired by a charming neighborhood in Marseille, where the owners spent the summer of that same year. With its uncluttered ambience and abundance of plants, this pretty café quickly won over many regulars. However, in order to focus on its partnership with vintage boutique Le Ninety, Camas closed its doors in southwest Montreal on September 27.

Gourmet addresses on the Plateau-Mont-Royal

The Plateau-Mont-Royal is one of Montreal’s most emblematic neighborhoods. This destination is famous for its architecture and small, colorful houses, which lend it a unique charm. Alongside its distinctive aesthetic, the Plateau is a gastronomic destination due to its high concentration of gourmet addresses. In particular, St-Denis and Rachel streets are brimming with good addresses for lovers of fine cuisine and quality coffee.

The addition of the new Ninety x Camas café fits perfectly into this dynamic, joining such renowned establishments as La Panzeria, Bulla and La Beignerie.

Join our team of real estate brokers and discover this new gourmet address at 4361 Rue Saint-Denis.
