Ten rooms in which Montr\u00e9al tells its own story through d\u00e9cor, founders and programming rather than menus. Modavie has put a jazz band on stage every evening since 1997, with no cover charge. Jardin Nelson hides a garden courtyard behind the porch of a historic Old Montr\u00e9al house and keeps musicians playing at midday and in the evening, from spring to Thanksgiving. Bar George occupies the Victorian manor raised in the nineteenth century for Sir George Stephen, a builder of the Canadian railway, and returned to the public in 2017.<\/p>\n

The rest is each house’s own story. Ferreira Caf\u00e9 has carried that of Carlos Ferreira since 1996: he arrived from the Porto region in the 1970s, and his daughters carry the name forward today. Damas was born twice, since Fuad Alnirabie rebuilt his room more sumptuous than before after the 2015 fire. Monarque, opened in 2018 by the Bastien father-and-son duo, handed a nineteenth-century building to architect Alain Carle, while Le Pois Pench\u00e9 replays the art deco codes of the grand Parisian brasseries. Choose the stage you would like to inhabit.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n
