Casino de Montréal’s Le Montréal restaurant
Gastronomy Restaurants Parc Jean-Drapeau
Le Montréal, the signature grilled meats and seafood restaurant at the Casino de Montréal, offers a gourmet dining experience that celebrates Québec’s culinary heritage.
Le Montréal occupies a prized location inside the Québec Pavillion, a modern structure built for Expo 67. In fact, the Casino de Montréal grounds are located within the Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Notre Dame, an island that was built for the 1967 World Fair.
Le Montréal features a contemporary ambiance with breathtaking, unobstructed views. The dining room is elegant and welcoming. Diners can choose to sit at one of the comfortable tables or around the bar counter from which they can enjoy a direct view inside the open kitchen where the lively brigade is hard at work. In the summer, the charming terrace is a prime dining spot with beautiful views.
LE MONTRÉAL OFFERS A GOURMET DINING EXPERIENCE THAT CELEBRATES QUÉBEC’S CULINARY HERITAGE.
Le Montréal’s cuisine emphasizes local ingredients, showcasing the richness of Québec's terroir. The restaurant’s menu is especially focused on grilled meats and seafood, featuring many local cuts and catch cooked to perfection by the kitchen brigade.
There are three menus to choose from: a “sampling size” one that’s perfect for diners who want to taste several dishes, an à la carte menu with signature dishes, and a three-course “First Act” tasting menu available from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the perfect option if you have tickets for shows at the Cabaret du Casino. Start your dining experience with a house cocktail, mocktail or glass of wine from their extensive list. The individual bread service invites diners to indulge in a warm mini-baguette or brioche served with quality salted butter. The generous plates highlight Québec products in dishes such as the “Le Montréal–style paella d’orzo”, pan-seared foie gras, and St. Lawrence Gulf halibut.
There are many entertainment choices to enjoy before or after a meal at Le Montréal. Discover Moment Factory’s augmented experience ARcade, try your luck at the slot machines or table games, put your gaming skills to the test at The Zone, catch a show at the Cabaret du Casino, bust a move to guest bands and DJs at the Valet Bar, learn the rudiments of Roulette, or sit down at a Blackjack table.
Le Montréal operates Monday to Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Reservations are highly recommended.
