CINEMANIA brings the best of French-language cinema to Montréal every November — a festival made for film lovers who want to see great movies on the big screen, in the language they were made for. Screenings take place around Ste-Catherine and the Quartier des Spectacles, right in the heart of Downtown.

If you're attending the festival, this guide helps you find a great café stop before or after your screening. Whether you want somewhere quiet to read the program, a warm spot to debrief with a friend over what you just watched, or simply a good espresso to carry into the evening — these cafés are right there when you need them.
