The new owners of Arts Café have brought a fresh flavor and vibe to this familiar location on Avenue Fairmont. Gregory Paquet is happy that both old customers and new have embraced the change. “There was an adjustment period to be sure,” he explains, “Regulars came expecting the same things on the menu and were surprised.”
Arts Café was a laid back place with a casual menu and attitude. The new incarnation wants to set new standards, both regarding the sourcing of food, coffee and tea, and the care paid to their preparation. The produce comes from local farmers and markets, the specialty coffee from café direct, the teas are all from Camellia Sinensis, a renowned Quebecois tea house.
Filled with laptops by day, Arts Café takes on a sophisticated, candle-lit ambiance by night (some laptops may remain). The tables are cheek by jowl, the menu’s up on a chalkboard, and the lava cake with coffee is divine. Before you attend the concert, why not fill up with goat-cheese pappardelle or lamb couscous? Guaranteed to keep you rocking all night.
If your mom is a fan of cozy little cafes, then the thousand and one lights in the window and pretty vintage décor at Fairmount Avenue’s popular Arts Café may be the perfect fit. On the menu you’ll find several classics like French toast, eggs Benedict and the smoked salmon bagel.
