A Walking Tour of Petite Patrie

What would a tour of Little Italy be without a little starch? One bite of the best plain pizzas in Montreal -- so good it doesn't actually need toppings -- will be enough to convince you why Boulangerie Marguerita has been baking them since 1910. Make sure you get there before 2 p.m., even during weekdays, because Marguerita is notorious for running out of goodies -- fast. Buy what you can and then backtrack one block on Beaubien until you reach St. Laurent Boulevard. Then, turn left for some old world coffee!
