We used to enjoy Friday evenings in downtown Montreal. Sometimes we'd eat at Restaurant Julien on Union Avenue; it was a great place but is now closed. When there was a hockey game at the Bell Centre this place would be full of out-of-towners; now, due to Covid, there are no out-of-towners. . . BTW, Union Avenue was named after the union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1840; before that it was called Brunswick Avenue.
The people who worked at or owned Restaurant Julien should know that many of us enjoyed their restaurant and still miss going there.

| I can see that Union Avenue isn't the greatest for foot traffic at night, maybe another reason Restaurant Julien went out of business... location |
