About Le Port de tête

Le Port de tête is an independent bookstore and small publisher on avenue du Mont-Royal Est. It is loved for its poetry section and carefully chosen literary picks, the kind of shelves that reward slow browsing. As a publisher, it also brings new literary titles into print.

Le Port de tête suits readers of poetry, literary fiction and essays, and anyone who enjoys asking a bookseller for a recommendation. It fits naturally into an afternoon on the Plateau, between a café and a walk to Parc La Fontaine. A book chosen here makes a personal gift for a friend who loves to read.
