If you love the bar scene but aren’t a beer fan, then upscale Philémon may be right down your Old Montreal alley. It’s known for its abundant and well-priced selection of bubbles—Cavas, Champagnes, Proseccos—which you can pair with small plates of olives or pâtés, though it’s the perfect place to meet up for pre- and post-dinner drinks, thanks to the many quality restaurants in the neighbourhood. 111 St-Paul St. W., 514-289-3777.
