The 34 artistic lanterns suspended above Avenue Cartier change themes regularly and have become one of the neighbourhood's most recognizable landmarks. Montcalm is often referred to as Québec City's Arts District, thanks to its proximity to the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Museum of Fine Arts) and several major cultural institutions. Many Québec City residents prefer dining on Avenue Cartier rather than in Old Québec, as the atmosphere is more local, relaxed and less tourist-oriented. The avenue is home to a wide variety of independent cafés, bakeries and restaurants, making it a popular destination for both locals and visitors throughout the day and into the evening.
