Petite Patrie Walking Tour - Cafe Coyote and Boulangerie Samos

Start today's trek with Café Coyote and their eggs Benedict breakfasts, ranging from classic ham to more "exotic" combos such as asparagus and goat cheese. Take it from a Benedict buff, this cutesy café keeps the yolks runny and the prices are easy on the wallet.

Next, take a right when exiting Coyote, walking west on Beaubien, until you reach De Gaspé Avenue where you'll find Boulangerie Samos. Beware the maple donuts in the window for if you try one you might as well kiss non-Samos donuts goodbye. Its only rival? The other Samos bakery located on the Plateau. Get some fluffy Portuguese buns to go for the sake of good taste and continue on Beaubien. Soon you'll pass by Barberito's old world barber pole, the first sure sign that you're entering the realm of Little Italy, a small neighborhood at the far west corner of Petite Patrie.
