In Villeray, Café littéraire Chez l’Éditeur provides a cultural space where books and coffee go hand in hand: A place to linger with a novel, meet local authors, or simply enjoy a well-brewed cup.
Behind the bar, Café 8 oz. handles the coffee program, bringing its meticulous approach to every pour. Known for its ethically sourced beans and carefully crafted brews, it ensures that each cup—whether a velvety cappuccino or a tasting flight—lives up to its reputation.
With Éditions Québec Amérique operating just behind the scenes, the café also doubles as a literary hub, with shelves stocked with the latest titles and occasional visits from the writers behind them. Whether you’re here to work, browse, or just escape into a book for a while, Chez l’Éditeur – Villeray is a welcome pause from the outside world.
