What are some things that just about all Montrealers love? Brunch, live music, terrasses, and cocktails. And one Montreal terrasse has decided to combine all four!Starting June 4, you'll be able to hear the sweet sounds of live jazz music while sipping on afternoon cocktails at Vieux-Port Steakhouse's gorgeous garden terrasse. Basically a Montrealer's summer dream come true.
You can raise a glass to the good life under the trees at the Plateau's new Belle Geule Biergarten opening May 17. Just north of Parc Laurier, the space will house a sprawling outdoor seating area and industrial restaurant/pub that serves cold ones brewed on-site, along with a menu prepared by famed Haitian chef Paul Toussaint.
April showers bring May lagers. The arrival of warm weather means the city is once again sprouting with opportunities to drink outdoors well, drink more comfortably outdoors at least. Montreal's Jardins Gamelins terrasse, public garden and music venue is the latest to announce its return for the 2022 season.The site, at Place Émilie-Gamelin next to the Berri-UQAM metro station entrance on rue Sainte-Catherine, will have free programming every day from May 26 to October 2, 2022. Visitors can explore its urban garden, including a greenhouse and butterfly house, take part in workshops, browse open-air exhibitions from the SAT and BAnQ, and play on-site games.Every Sunday, there will be organized "game clubs" and quizzes.
Grab your best friends, sunglasses and sunscreen and warn your liver: terrasse season in Montreal is about to begin. Old Montreal rooftop Terrasse William Gray reopens April 14, kicking off at least five months of sipping beer, cocktails and mocktails (and water for good measure!) on streetside decks and sky-high patios.
