Hey Montreal, I'm here for a week. I just had two unsuccessful attempts at having good espresso (see here), so I'm looking for a recommendation. ☺️
Thank you 🙏

Depends what your taste is. I'm not a huge fan of third wave; I'd rather opt for old school Italian stuff. You can't go wrong with Olimpico or Club Social on St-Viateur, Caffé San Simeon on Dante.

Yeah, I don't care much for the highest grade beans. I'm happy with a robusta blend so long as it's extracted well. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm a third wave guy so my go-tos are;
Helico
Aube
Paquebot
Pista
Jato
Yo&Co
Escape Lab
Might be a little too funky for you but it definitely won't be whatever the hell they served you in that cup.

Caveat being that I'm not a coffee drinker, but my former co-worker who was a huge coffee snob used to drive across town to get his coffee at the roastery inside the Atwater Market.

Looks and tastes real:

I'm assuming you're not really willing to travel around to get an espresso so perhaps a general idea of which neighborhood you're in might help?
Otherwise as other have suggested a very traditional one is Olimpico, they have a couple of location around now (original is in the Mile End).

Oh I travel. Turns out I've been to Olimpico the last time I was here in 2018. Got pics of the cat at the patio:
I'll definitely go there again!
