BATEAU-MOUCHE SOUPER CROISIÈRE

The highly acclaimed Danny Smiles (winner of Top Chef, Iron Chef, and former chief of the Bremner) is now Executive Chef at the Willow Inn. The historic charm of the place quickly wins you over, as the breathtaking view of the Ottawa River, and the farm-to-table menu. Take advantage of your tour to take the ferry and visit Oka at the same time!
535, boul. Marie-Victorin, Boucherville, J4B 8T4
Besides being a beautiful Marina, its location on the St. Lawrence River with a view of Montreal makes it unique. The terrace is on a beach with picnic tables and a refreshing menu to fight the hot days. We let ourselves be tempted by the lobster guédille, the cod taco, or good poutine. A place that makes us forget the proximity of the city!
965, rue Richelieu, Beloeil, J3G 4P8
One of the most popular terraces in Beloeil is definitely Bleu Moutarde. Alongside the Richelieu River, it is the ideal place to enjoy the landscape while savoring a French-inspired menu. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes magical with the lights and the calm of nature. A trip outside of Montreal is a must for this restaurant.
940, place Île des Moulins, Terrebonne/Lachenaie, J6W 4N7
It is on the Ile des Moulins in Terrebonne that we find the most popular Bâtiment B. A terrace with a magnificent view of the Mille-Îles River will allow you to enjoy this gastro-pub. Let yourself be tempted by one of the microbrewery beers, innovative cocktails, or the vast selection of wines. There is a menu full of freshness with ceviche, lobster guédille, ribs, or even whole fish.
99, chemin de la Rive, Vieux Longueuil, J4H 4C9
We take you to the Longueuil Marina for a meal along the St. Lawrence River. Enjoy the sunset while tasting one of their beautiful tartars, fried squid, or the hearty beef braise with coffee. A unique and memorable moment awaits you just minutes from Montreal.
1076, rue de Bleury suite 001, Montréal, H2Z 1N2
A bar in a former swimming pool can only be refreshing, right? Pelicano is in Old Montreal and serves Peruvian cuisine from the famous Tiradito. They offer many specials for your happy hour, and host DJs and cocktails as beautiful as they are delicious.
