With sleek purple velvet and plenty of wooden accents, Typhoon Lounge is anything but a disaster aesthetically. This low-key spot is a hidden gem within the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood of Montreal. The selections of wines and liquors are beyond satisfactory, while the phenomenal martinis are headlined by their signature Typhoon (a concoction of vodka, melon liqueur, blue curaçao, Seven Up, lime and grenadine). Complicated? Sure. Tasty? Of course! If you're getting a late start to the evening, no worries - the kitchen is open 'til late. And during the warm summer months, gather on the terrace for the ambiance and live music.
