Saint Denis Street (officially in French: Rue Saint-Denis) is a major north–south thoroughfare in Montreal, Quebec.
It extends from the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel on Saint Paul Street in Old Montreal to the bank of the Rivière des Prairies at the north end of the island. It is designated Route 335 from Sherbrooke Street to the Metropolitan Expressway, and is known as Bonsecours Street south of Saint Antoine Street. Along its length, it passes through the boroughs of Ville-Marie, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, and Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
Saint-Denis serves as one of the primary thoroughfares of both the Latin Quarter, where it plays host to a number of bars and restaurants, to the Plateau Mont-Royal, where it is known as one of the best places to view Montreal's distinct style of architecture. It becomes primarily a residential street north of the Metropolitan Expressway. Sauvé train station is located on the street but not the metro station itself. The eastern portion of the Montreal Metro's Orange Line runs parallel to the street, two blocks to the east except for Berri–UQAM station which has an entrance on the street. Rosemont station is located on Saint Denis street but doesn’t have an entrance to the street.
It is named for Saint Denis of Paris.
