The location is right in the heat of the Plateau district, a block away from Schwartz's famous smoked meat deli. If you look at this area using Google street view, don't be put off by the "tired" exterior of the buildings in this area -- Steve's location is modern and comfortable inside and the area is safe to walk around in. It takes about 35 min to walk to major attractions in the Downtown area, but there is a bus stop nearby if you want to take the bus to Downtown (about 20 min). The area has TONS of restaurants, bistros and cafes, all within easy walking distance. The path up Mont Royal is a short walk as well.
