Saint Denis Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Denis Street is a major north-south thoroughfare in Montreal, Quebec.

The street itself extends from the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel in Old Montreal to the bank of the Rivière des Prairies at the north end of the island. It is designated Quebec Route 335 from Sherbrooke Street to the Metropolitan Expressway, and is known as Bonsecours Street below Saint Antoine Street. Along its length, it passes through the boroughs of Ville-Marie, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, and Ahuntsic-Cartierville.

Saint Denis serves as one of the primary thoroughfares of both the Latin Quarter, where it plays host to a number of bars and restaurants, to the Plateau Mont-Royal, where it is known as one of the best places to view Montreal's distinct style of architecture. It becomes primarily a residential street north of the Metropolitan Expressway. The eastern portion of the Montreal Metro's Orange Line runs parallel to the street, two blocks to the east.
