The 411 – The Old Port has, over the years, brought the city a resurgence in good food.

When one looks back a couple years ago, one would not see that many fine dining spots but now things have changed for the better.

NO LONGER SERVES BRUNCH

The 411

VillerayRosemont/petite Patrie is an area that has been expanding recently.
