We (Mapgears) have used some space at Abri.co 
(https://abri.co/?locale=en) in Quebec City recently and really liked 
it. We have our permanent offices in Chicoutimi, but co-working spaces 
like this is ideal for when we need to setup work sessions / sprints 
with people/partners from other cities.

https://abri.co/ is still fairly new and not very well known yet, so 
hopefully this little plug will help make it better known for people who 
need co-working space in Quebec City.

For Montreal,  I've been at the Notman House (http://notman.org/) for a 
WhereCamp not long ago. It's not exactly promoted as a co-working 
facility, but more of a home for internet/mobile/web startups (i.e. 
small teams) and it also offers free meeting space for community events 
such as the WhereCamp I've been to.
