Monkland Street

Monkland Avenue is one of the largest streets in Montreal, and is also the most important trading artery of the Monkland Village. On the street there are many shops, restaurants and boutiques that attract the attention of tourists.

Monkland Avenue is named after Sir James Monk, a homeowner whose mansion was built here. Until the forties of the 20th century, Monkland Avenue was a quiet, sleeping street, but later it was chosen by small businesses and the area began to be actively built up. Today Monkland Avenue is a multi-kilometer avenue where you can find many elite restaurants, expensive boutiques, coffee houses, cinemas and a variety of shops.

In general, Monkland Avenue is one of the most popular streets in Montreal, as well as a great place for tourism and shopping. There are always many passers-by, and life is boiling day and night.
