The autobiography of a Supertramp (1908) by W.H. Davies see chapter 18 for mention of Montreal
"Now, once upon a time, there lived a man known by the name of Joe Beef, who kept a saloon in Montreal [note: in the Old-Montreal], supplying his customers with a good free lunch all day, and a hot beef stew being the mid-day dish. There was not a tramp throughout the length and breadth of the North American Continent, who had not heard of this and a goodly number had at one time or another patronised his establishment. Often had I heard of this famous hostelry for the poor and needy, and the flavour of its stew discussed by old travellers in the far States of the South. When I thought of this, I knew that a companion for any part of America could most certainly be found on this man's premises, and I would there hear much valuable information as to the road I was about to travel. So I went strolling along quietly, intending to wait until I met some needy looking individual before I made enquiries. Now, whenever Joe Beef's name had been mentioned it had invariably led to the mention of French Marie, and the name of the latter as invariably introduced the name of Joe Beef, for these two establishments seemed to be patronised by the same class. These names were well-known to me, for, as I have said, their fame was abroad throughout America."

‘PRIVATE’ ACTS IN ‘PUBLIC’ SPACES: Parks in Turn-of-the-Century Montreal, essay by Sarah Schmidt (see section "The vagabond" on Viger Square)
"The vagabond and the “improper” courting couple in turn-of-the-century Montreal parks were ideologically denied access to and removed physically from the park because they represented a threat to this socially constructed enclave and that which it housed (female propriety, capitalism, bourgeois harmony, patriarchal power relations, and respectable heterosexuality)."
