Cafe Blue Monday-looking for artists

Hey, you guys ever been here? It rocks. They’re looking for visual artists to put their work up on the walls. It’s a really sweet cafe and lots of regulars, students, artists, and other interesting people come in to enjoy the damn good food and friendly conversation provided by their hard-working staff of two.

If you know of anyone with wall-hangable pieces they’d like to have up in Blue Monday, get in touch with Chantal or Pete at: blumonday@gmail.com

Here’s a little write up on the place:

Verdun’s Wellington Ave. is home to more than a few great lunch spots. One of the street’s highlights is locally-owned Cafe Blue Monday which boasts an entirely vegan (vegetarian plus no eggs, no milk, etc.) menu of home-made sandwiches, soups, and salads.

Royal blue walls and crisp white couches make this sweet cafe an uplifting and comfortable place to do work whether or not you take advantage of free wireless internet access courtesy of Ile Sans Fil. If you’re looking for something other than light lunch fare they serve brunch (with a reservation) and a wide range of baked goods prepared on site to be enjoyed alongside a smoothie, shake, or fresh fruit juice. They also offer a nice selection of organic teas and fair-trade coffee to compliment any meal.

Just don’t try to stop by on Monday. Co-owners and cooks, Chantal Cote and Pierre Beaudoin, spend their blue mondays baking and preparing for another week of serving their dedicated patrons. And it pays off for this small-scale wonder of Verdun which awaits your discovery.
