\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Where<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The weather is nice! It\u2019s not very warm yet, but the streets of Montreal are slowly starting to smell of sunscreen and iced coffee. And we\u2019re seriously craving some sunshine after the six-month winter we just went through. So, naturally, we want to spend all our time outside, from the first ray of sunshine to the last of the day.<\/p>\n

The terraces are open during a year when winter and summer are perfectly divided, between April 15 and November 15. They are under construction, and sometimes even finished, quietly waiting for a day of warm sunshine. As soon as the weather is nice, we recommend going out for a walk and stopping at the nearest terrace that\u2019s bathed in sunlight.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s really nothing more romantic than having an afternoon to kill (which happens less and less often as we get older) and spending itin a caf\u00e9 or on a terrace, lost in a book.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our (almost) secret spots for coffee in the sun in Montreal<\/p>\n

The terrace at Galerie FOIL<\/p>\n

\"\"via @foil.gallery<\/p>\n

For coffee, iced sencha tea, and an exhibition, we head to the super cool FOIL Gallery (Finer Objects In Life) and its super cool little terrace. Everything is metallic and sophisticated, and it\u2019s also where you can mingle with Montreal\u2019s designers, artists, and fashionistas.<\/p>\n

Where? FOIL Gallery, 6560 Waverly Street<\/p>\n

The tiny terrace at Caf\u00e9 Gotsoul<\/p>\n

\"\"via @thevanpirechronicles<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Gotsoul has the best music in Montreal, vinyl records, hi-fi systems, and an atmosphere so great that we almost don\u2019t want to give out the address. Plus, the terrace gets the afternoon sun\u2026<\/p>\n

Where? Caf\u00e9 Gotsoul, at 1970 Notre-Dame Street West<\/p>\n

The terrace at Romies (for a cocktail)<\/p>\n

\"\"via @romiesmtl<\/p>\n

The terrace of the American bistro Romies, known for its cocktails, fries, and tranquility despite being on one of the Old Port\u2019s noisiest streets. It\u2019s the place to sip a Spritz under the trees (with a reservation) and munch on olives while dreaming of Europe.<\/p>\n

Where? Romies, at 465 McGill Street<\/p>\n

The classic: coffee in the park<\/p>\n

Of course, we can always grab a coffee to go<\/a> and sit on the grass or on a bench in one of Montreal\u2019s parks \u2014there <\/a> are plenty of them, with varying levels of sun and shade.<\/p>\n
