Little Portugal, Montreal

Little Portugal, Montreal

Montreal has a modest Portuguese population. Its historical population in Montreal is located in Little Portugal, which is at the corner of Saint Laurent Boulevard and Marie-Anne street. Portuguese businesses can be found along several blocks of Saint Laurent between Pine and Marie-Anne. The Portuguese area has largely absorbed what used to be the traditional Jewish neighbourhood. There are over 46,000 Montrealers of Portuguese descent.
