The REM has officially taken off and a select number of Greater Montreal Area residents were able to get a first go at the REM's route between Montreal's Gare Centrale and Station Brossard in the South Shore. Now, with four stations servicing outside the main island of Montreal, residents can now enjoy a bunch of new restaurants that are close to each REM station. From California-style restos that let you surf (literally), and traditional Thai cuisine all the way to saloon-themed pubs and fancy schmancy eateries, here are 15 restaurants Montrealers can now enjoy hassle-free with the REM.
When you think of Montreal’s South Shore, you probably think of traffic and travel time. But the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) is changing that and unlocking a part of the map that many can’t reach. There are five REM stations opening on July 31, but it’s the three in the middle that have the hottest new events, activities, and dinner spots to check out.
Though it s a relatively light weekend for roadwork in Montreal, drivers will want to avoid parts of the Anjou Interchange, Souligny Ave., the Saint-Pierre Interchange and the Gédéon-Ouimet Bridge over the Mille-Îles River.
