Add a little sunshine to your weekend : 4 terraces for a delightful brunch

2 minutes

Montreal centre-ville

Since terraces have reopen and summer can finally begin, many haven’t missed a single opportunity to go out for a drink and delicious food. Aside from fancy lunches and late night dinners, there is another thing that Montrealers have sorely missed in recent months: the famous weekend brunch. And when you combine both brunch and terrace, it’s the perfect equation to ensure you have a great day.

With this in mind, here are 4 terraces where you can go to satisfy your so longed-for brunch craving in downtown Montreal.

Café Parvis

With its many plants, earthy colors and relaxed atmosphere, Café Parvis is simply enchanting, inside and out. Located next to Quartier des spectacles, just in front of the St. James United Church, its terrace is definitely a must-try of the Montreal scene. Even more on weekend mornings when their delicious brunch is served by super friendly staff. Not to miss: the breakfast pizza, with a side latte (one of the best in town).

Le Pois Penché

To travel without traveling? Sitting on this little French bistro’s terrace gives you the impression of having teleported to Paris for the time of a brunch. On Saturdays and Sundays between 10 am and 3 pm, Le Pois Penché (LPP for long-timers) serves brunch outside under their large red parasols. Whether you fancy a simple home baked baguette with artisan marmalades, a croissant or a more elaborate dish of smoked salmon and European sausages, you’ll be served!

1230 Maisonneuve W Boul.

Notre-Bœuf-de-Grâce

Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce

Notre-Bœuf-de-Grâce is known for its burgers and brunches, but beware, this is not your typical fast food restaurant. With their premium on-site ground beef and homemade sauces/smoothies/sodas, food quality is at the heart of their success. Their brunches (as decadent as their burgers) are served on weekends on their sunny terrace: hangover poutine, eggs benedict with steak and brie, breakfast burrito… so many choices!

1388 Maisonneuve W Boul.

Bar George

Chic and affordable, Bar George is a classic when it comes to Montreal brunch. Especially in summer, when their large terrace on Drummond is open. Semi-hidden by the large brick walls of the heritage house that once belonged to Sir George Stephen, this urban oasis makes us almost forget that we are right in the city center. To try : the traditional English brunch with a little Quebec twist “George’s Full English”.
