Shed Café 3515 St-Laurent Montreal, H2X 2T6 514-842-0220

Shed Café is “the” original trendy restaurant from the good ol’ days before St-Laurent was a glitzy mass of see-and-be-scene spots. Dishing less pretentiousness and more causal fare than its shiny neighbours, Shed has a reputation for funky décor, and impressive bar list, reliable food, friendly service, fantastic sangria and a comfortably cool vibe.
