Peep Show

The window-boxes are blooming, Bixi bikes line the sidewalks and pretty people are everywhere.  Don’t you just adore Montreal in June?

For some serious people watching, throw on vintage wraparounds and park yourself on the terrace of Parisian-style brasserie Le Pois Penché. Nibble on shrimp cocktails ($22), sip pink champagne (from $35), and sample a dozen Malpèques from the fresh oyster bar.

No good looking hunks around?  Close your eyes and imagine you’re sitting in the 14th arrondissement.
