Reviews of Parc du Portugal (Park)

Claude Petitgonnet

(Translated) Small urban park which adjoins the gray stone house of Montreal of the legendary and late Léonard Cohen .... Bye bye Mary-Ann (Original) Petit parc urbain qui jouxte la demeure en Pierre grise de Montréal du mythique et regretté Léonard Cohen.... Bye bye Mary-Ann

Patricia Boulanger

(Translated) Beautiful park to rest or have a bite to eat and watch life on St-Laurent! (Original) Beau parc pour te reposer ou manger une bouchée et regarder la vie sur St-laurent!

Mickael WAJNBERG

(Translated) More a square than a park because tiny but it's cute, and nice enough for some yoga group to come and have fun ^^ (Original) Plus un square qu'un parc parce que minuscule mais c'est tout mignon, et assez chouette pour que certain groupe de yoga vienne s'amuser ^^

Parc du Portugal is the heart of little Portugal! Morning to evening, you'll find local couples and friends meeting to socialise and discuss daily events or football. The bandstand regularly has musicians playing and is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. During the summer months there are various events, festivals and yoga classes held in the park. Come here to soak up the local atmosphere, chat with friends or rest from a tour of the plateau's numerous murals closeby. Some can even be spotted directly from the park!

This is a gorgeous park. So reminiscent of parka in Portugal especially with the type of tile used. We walked near it to visit Leonard Cohen's home during the Museum of Montreal Jewish tour called "In the Shadow of the Mountain.". Definitely worth a visit!

Rafael Osío Cabrices

(Translated) Nice square with a gazebo to make a stop, and perhaps enjoy the delicacies of Omnivore. It is not a park to play or hang out with, and it is exposed to the dirt and undesirable characters of the boulevard. Two facts: the big gray house facing the southeast corner of the park was Leonard Cohen's home in Montreal; and in the large Azores hardware store there are very good options for the house (and Portuguese clay cookingware) (Original) Bonita plaza con un gazebo para hacer un alto, y tal vez disfrutar de las delicias de Omnivore. No es un parque para jugar ni para pasar mucho rato, y está expuesto al sucio y los personajes indeseables del bulevar. Dos datos: la gran casa gris frente a la esquina sureste del parque era la vivienda de Leonard Cohen en Montreal; y en la gran quincallería Azores hay muy buenas opciones para la casa (y cookingware portugués de barro)

Frechette Michel

(Translated) Nice multiethnic meeting (Original) Belle rencontre multiethnique

Louis Jezsik

What a pleasant surprise to find a little bit of Portugal in Montreal. Only visitors to Portugal or Brasil are likely to appreciate it, but the park is paved with the same black and white stone motif you find in Lisbon and Rio.

Jacob Glover

What a beautiful park situated near Old Port and in the Mile End Area. It has to offer a retro vibe and vintage experience with the stores nearby.

Maxim G

Relaxed atmosphere.

(Translated) Léonard Cohen lived nearby on Vallières Street and came regularly to this park. There are pretty Portuguese azulejos (blue ceramics) there.

J'adore

Mike Long

Hanging out across the street from Lenny’s old pad. This is the most Montréal of the smallest parks in the plateau. Everyone is here. It’s a good place to sneak a drink, better than the park at Rachel and St Laurent. The tile work by the fountain is nice, glad there’s some Portuguese charm coming through here. People will speak to you here, be warned ????

Nicolas Leblond

It's okay!

Rachel Paul

It's where I eat my lunch during lunch break. There's little boxes that like to chirp at a high frequency which is rather annoying, eh.

Reza Yasemi

So cosy with plenty of benches. The lion fountain is so good in summer to wet your head under it.

Kevin Chau

Nice environment, decent size, not too big enough for picnics in my opinion, neither a walk. Good place if you just want to sit down and relax around trees. Chill people around there too, only downside is that there's a main road (Saint Laurent Blvd) next to it, so the car can sometime be loud.

Martin Coursol

(Translated) Small park where it is good to stop for a few moments to observe the wildlife of Saint-Laurent Boulevard. Also, on a windy day, you can take refuge there to read; unlike Parc Jeanne-Mance, the buildings can shelter us and protect us (a little!) against goose bumps. Bandstand where amateur musicians can spontaneously perform. Does it owe it to its name, this park is very gregarious, and several people gather there to exchange, in particular the elderly ... First generation Portuguese still living in the neighborhood? (Original) Petit parc où il fait bon s'arrêter quelques instants pour observer la faune du boulevard Saint-Laurent. Aussi, par journée de grand vent, on peut venir s'y réfugier pour lire; contrairement au Parc Jeanne-Mance, les bâtiments peuvent nous abriter et nous prémunir (un peu!) contre la chair de poule. Kiosque à musique où musiciens amateurs peuvent se donner en spectacle spontanément. Le doit-il à son nom, ce parc est très grégaire, et plusieurs personnes s'y rassemblent pour échanger, en particulier des personnes âgées... Des Portugais de première génération habitant toujours le quartier ?

Tiago Freitas

The parc is in need of a little bit of love. Broken bottles and garbage a bit all over the place. Not too appealing!!!

My friend was assaulted by a homeless woman here. Still a nice park.
