Located on Ontario Street East, in the heart of Montreal's Centre-Sud district, Junco has that little something we're all looking for: a bright café by day, a lively Italian bar by night. Here, you can go from a frothy latte to a golden spritz without leaving the premises.

 

In the morning, the light streams through the café, inviting you to linger. People settle in to work a little, read a lot, or simply savor a good Italian sandwich. Then, as evening falls, Junco changes its pace: the music gets louder, glasses clink, and pasta steams on the plates. The atmosphere becomes more relaxed, a little festive, but always welcoming.

 

On the menu: homemade gnocchi, fresh pasta, a melting burrata, golden focaccia, and a few Italian desserts that make the end of meals dangerously long.

 

Junco is the neighborhood Italian spot we recommend without making a big deal about it (to guarantee a table). It's a place where la dolce vita is lived naturally, with great food, great drinks, and a great crowd. A café by day, a bar by night, it's the perfect spot for happy hour, dinner with friends, or a spontaneous date.
