Brave the cold on a restaurant and winter terrace tour in Montreal
How about letting your taste buds guide you through Montreal’s diverse culinary scene? Winter in the city is the perfect time to warm your soul with dishes crafted by talented chefs and experience for yourself why the city is a culinary hotspot. It’s also an opportunity to enjoy the local food scene in a unique way: by visiting winter terraces, where the cold is welcomed with open arms. From the magical domes of Refuges du Bivouac, serving Nordic flavours with views of the Quartier des Spectacles, to the four-season pergola at Emmanuelle Lounge, where you can taste cocktails made from seasonal ingredients, and the Belvu Hors-Piste terrace at the Marriott Château Champlain, which recreates an après-ski vibe in the heart of downtown, Montreal’s winter is set to be cool… in every sense of the word!
