The Lachine Canal runs from the Old Port all the way to Lachine, cutting through some of Montréal's most interesting neighbourhoods — Griffintown, Saint-Henri, and Verdun among them. In summer, the canal-side path becomes one of the city's favourite spots for cycling, walking, and simply sitting by the water.
If you're spending a morning or afternoon along the canal, this guide helps you find a great coffee stop nearby. Whether you want to fuel up before a bike ride, take a mid-walk break, or settle onto a terrace and watch the boats drift by, there's a café on this list for you.
