Hi!

I'm 29F in the process of writing a novel, and I'm looking to make new friends who are also working on one :)

I was thinking we could meet 1-2 times a month in a café to write together. DM me/comment if this interests you, I'd be happy to meet!

English will follow

Salut à tous!

J'ai récemment déménagé à Montréal et j'aimerais me faire des amis ici. Je suis un gros fan de pub quiz et j'aimerais monter une équipe. J'ai 22 ans donc idéalement des gens dans la vingtaine mais je suis quand même ouvert.

Pour ce qui est du pub, je suis un habitué de pubquizquebec.com qui est présent dans plusieurs pubs sur l'île. Sinon je sais qu'il y a d'autres quiz, peut-être à voir avec l'horaire et l'emplacement de chacun.

Juste à laisser un commentaire si vous êtes intéressé, je vous écrirai pour créer un groupe!

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to Montreal and would like to make some friends here. I love pub quiz and would like to make a team. I'm 22 so ideally people in their twenties but I'm still open.

As for the place and time, I'm used to pubquizquebec.com which is present in multiple pubs on the island but I know of some other options as well, probably depending on the schedule and home of everyone.

Please leave a comment if interested, I'll create a group and add you, we can figure it out there!

Hi, I’m a 46m single and my kid is grown so have lots of free time to make friends.
Just hanging out grabbing a beer or playing sports
I’m open for anything

Hey guys I'm 25 from île perrot. I'm looking for friends to chat and hangout with.

Some of my interests are music, videogames, nature, urbex, thrifting and smoking.

Looking for people around my age who'd be down to hangout and maybe do some urbex before summer ends or come to my place and we can do a fire :)

Dm me if ur interested!

ideally looking for a or multiple friends that has similar interests than i do.

a little bit about me, i’m a 20 year old african who was born and raised in montreal. played a variety of sports before focusing on school and now i’m in uni. i tend to keep to myself at school and since i stopped playing sports, i found it harder to make long lasting friendship, hence this post.

if you’re someone around my age, or even older, that enjoys a night out, listens to r&b, rap, pop music, fashion, plays a sport or goes to the gym regularly, somewhat is a car enjoyer, animes, and wants to go out this summer, feel free to hmu.

Hey everyone! Moved into a stage where all my friends are basically “couple friends” through my girlfriend, so I’m looking to build out my own circle for once.

A bit about me:

Big into working out, plus pickleball and squash if anyone wants to play

Always down to try new restaurants and cafes — I’m a bit of a food/coffee nerd

Into music (always looking for concert buddies)

I cook a lot and love talking food

Enjoy a smoke sesh every now and then, usually pairs well with a good deep conversation

Salut ! J’ai 20 ans et je débute la pêche.
Je cherche quelqu’un qui aimerait venir pêcher avec moi de temps en temps dans la région de Montréal. Que tu sois débutant ou expérimenté, ça me va !
J’aimerais découvrir de nouveaux spots et simplement passer un bon moment.
Si ça t’intéresse, envoie-moi un message🙂

Hey everyone! 35M here in Montreal. I recently got divorced from my husband after 12 years together, and I'm looking to get out, dance, have fun, and maybe kiss a bunch of men on the dance floor. 😄

I used to go to Unity (we always called it "the U") when I was 16 and 17, and I have so many great memories there. Any ideas?

Has anyone tried the Outclose dinner app in Montreal? How was it? Would love to hear your experience!

Hello guys (24M )i do kayaking and fishing during the week if someone is interested to join me (around my age ) please feel free to contact me
Ps : i don’t smoke weed neither do drugs nor drink alcohol so if you do one of those i dont think we can do a trip together.

HI YALL!
Hellllpppppppp….

My current gym membership ends in October, and I’ve been seriously considering Midtown Le Sanctuaire as my next gym. At first it seemed perfect for what I’m looking for: classes, a more upscale environment, a juice bar, restaurant/cafe space, and somewhere I can actually stay after a workout instead of rushing home.
I work from home, so part of my goal is not just fitness, it’s also to decompress, be around people, and socialize a bit more. I’m quite social and I’d love a place where I could grab a juice or coffee after a class, maybe work for an hour, and naturally meet other professionals or entrepreneurs.

Okay…….so!
The problem is that I started reading reviews and now I’m getting anxious. A lot of the 2025–2026 reviews are surprisingly negative aka complaints about staff, food quality, customer service, overcrowding, and the overall experience. I initially assumed it was mostly because of the renovations, but the complaints seem to continue even after that.

So I’m wondering:

Is Midtown Le Sanctuaire actually worth the price in 2026? Have the renovation issues been resolved?
How is the atmosphere for someone in their 30s who wants both fitness and social interaction? Do people genuinely network there, or is that more of a marketing idea? Is the restaurant/juice bar/cafe area somewhere you’d realistically spend time after a workout?
I’m not looking for the cheapest gym. I’m looking for a place that feels like a wellness + social + productivity space, not just a room with machines.
If you’ve been a member recently (especially in the last 6–12 months), I’d really appreciate honest feedback.
Also, if you think there are better alternatives in Montreal, I’m very open to recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Montreal!

Are you a woman or femme-leaning enby looking to make friends in the city? Is there a movie you'd like to watch, but you don't want to go alone? Want to try out that new cafe or learn a new craft with someone?

We have just the community for you 🙂

MTL Gals & Enby Pals Meetups aims to be a welcoming and safe space on Discord for women (cis and trans alike) as well as femme-leaning enby people to chat and organize meet-ups in Montreal!

With this space, we've set out to create a community in which all women and nonbinary people are unequivocally welcome and safe. Every woman should have a place where she can be herself and find friends.

The server is small at the moment, but we hope you can help us change that! The people here are very friendly and we've already had a few meet-ups including one at a Ceramic Cafe, Artisans d'Azure, and even a Vampire the Masquerade LARP. We’re also currently discussing meeting up at cafes and parks too! If you're interested in joining, please send a DM to myself /u/delawana or to /u/JenuinelyArtful and we'll send you an invitation link.

Please note that for security reasons your Reddit history should be at least temporarily public. Though we would like to have people join on good faith alone, we want to make sure that this remains a safe space!

Hope to see you in the Discord!

Hello,

A Fit nerd (anime, marvel, video games, dnd), with niche special interests. Non smoker but 420 friendly. Seeking similar people to form a party of workout adventurers. Right now it's gym focused. But I'm hoping to find a group to do more active stuff with like hiking, climbing (never been) and cycling.

I'm 35 male, black, 6'1. I have a shirt that's says Kinda fit kinda fat lol. A kind of a thick-letic build if you will. Big shoulders, decent arms, huge thighs, nice calves and kind of a belly. Tattoos and piercings.

This is the platonic side of what I'm looking for. If interest in the more, I also have posted in the r4rmontreal so just ask.

Please say more than "hi". Start by describing yourself and telling me where you found my post so I'm not confused lol.

I have no idea how to go about asking for this but whatever here goes . :)

Middle aged professional here, chill and mellow, who missed all the role playing fun I had as a teen and young adult.

I live near downtown and can host or move.

I’m not picky about the settings, I played DND, Pathfinder and World of Darkness. I was DM most of the time.

hi!! i'm an 18 yo girl looking to meet some friends here in mtl. i moved close a few years ago and never really went out to meet ppl and i've now decided that i've had enough with being a homebody. i went clubbing few times with old friends and really enjoyed it, other than that i love makeup, skincare and beauty in general. i LOVE dressing up for any occasion. i am an introvert tho. but hey id love to meet someone to go out with just putting myself out there

Bonjour, je viens de déménager à Montréal. Je travaille en finance. Je voudrais rencontrer du monde pour faire de la randonnée, découvrir la ville, prendre une bière et jaser.

mcgill student looking to meet a few more people around my age who actually want to make plans and go out.

i’m mainly looking for friends who are into bars/clubs, parties, dinners, trying new restaurants, shopping, music, reality tv, and random plans around montreal. i like people who are funny, social, confident, and can have fun.

i already know some people here and have friends, but most of them don’t go out that much or are hard to make plans with, so i’d love to meet people who want a more active social life this year.

strictly looking for friends. ideally mcgill/concordia students around 18-25ish. message me with your age, school and a little about what you’re into so i know we’d actually get along and maybe make a groupchat or something??
