What the guides say about Rue Saint-Denis
Guides call it less touristy than Old Montréal and more of a place where people live, with independent shops, vintage clothes and cafés along Avenue du Mont-Royal and Rue Saint-Denis.
Three guides warn about noise on the Plateau, mostly on its two big bar streets, Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Rue Saint-Denis.

The Plateau is the part of Montréal east of Mount Royal where people live in walk-ups with outdoor spiral staircases and shop on the same few streets. Boulevard Saint-Laurent splits it into east and west, Avenue du Mont-Royal is its shopping street, and Parc La Fontaine is its big lawn. Most of it can be done on foot in a day.
