The brothers Simon-Pierre and Xavier-Bernard Caron, formerly of Gamba, have a new project. After selling their shares in the Mile End institution, they decided to open Caron & Frères, their own specialty café in the heart of Little Italy.

Located on a quiet section near Saint-Laurent Boulevard, the business stands out with its yellow and white striped awning, its wooden bench in front of the window and its green sign made by Billyclub.
The interior, warm and classic, has been worked on by the designers of Ivy Studio. If the coffee – which comes from seven different roasters, including five from Quebec – is the star, we also have something to eat.

We offer sandwiches (including a breakfast sandwich), and very soon salads and a choice of soup, not to mention pastries and other little treats.
The place also has a terrace decorated with plants, to enjoy the last beautiful days.
