Lili & Oli’s got an inviting Italian ambiance and heartwarming family angle: Founded by Patrick Hébert, a Westmount native inspired by his stint at Café Olimpico, this café is a labor of love shared with his brother, Daniel. From its humble beginnings to a second location in Verdun, Lili & Oli remains thanks to its classics of coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. It’s fairly straightforward, but you’re not coming here to be wowed by trend recipes or jawdropping interior design—just to have a cafe experience that’s on point and from a local angle.
