Junco, an Italian café-bar

Offering Italian-style coffees, aperitifs and a selection of sandwiches and pastas, this buvette-café, located just east of downtown on Ontario Street in a bustling neighbourhood, blends creative cuisine with local charm. Chef William Fréchette serves inventive Italian dishes, including daily pasta specials and a variety of starters. The café’s stylish decor features tones of gray, cream, rust, pistachio green and wicker which is reminiscent of the dark-eye junco’s plumage and habitat. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful by day, ideal for a coffee break, and shifts to warm and intimate by night, great for lingering over drinks or a cozy meal.
