Canal Lounge Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
CaféBarGreat selection of cocktails
An air of Paris or Amsterdam in Montreal? You will soon believe that you are in Europe going on first floating coffee in town, the Canal Lounge, located close to the Atwater Market. Make yourself comfortable in a 45 years old boat, but certainly fresh and colorful design, the cozy atmosphere and inimitable view. At night, coffee becomes a lounge where music and lights awakens the boat.

Review Summary

Canal Lounge is described as a charming canal-side spot with a romantic vibe and a small, distinctive setup that adds to its appeal. The setting on a boat or terrace offers great canal views and sunsets, making the atmosphere a key part of the experience. Drinks are a highlight, with cocktails praised for being well made and refreshing, and light bites like olives or chips noted, while the menu is generally described as compact but adequate. Service receives mixed feedback, ranging from quick and friendly to slower with longer waits. Prices are sometimes called reasonable and other times a bit high, depending on the item. The decor, fresh flowers, and plants contribute to a cozy, unique vibe that suits a date or a casual gathering, especially in warm weather. Overall, Canal Lounge stands out for its ambiance and setting on the canal, even if the food menu is not extensive.

Spot atypique sortant du vieux montreal , sur les abords du canal de Lachine, bateau mouche accosté & accueillant de 15h à 23h du mardi au samedi, proposant cocktails & petits snacking (Chips, olives...) dans une ambiance lounge.
On s y sent vraiment bien ! Tarif tout à fait raisonnable pour une pinte à 10 dollars !

C est mon ptit coup de coeur 😍

Un concept de bateau-mouche original & superbement décoré avec des fleurs fraîches & des plantes. On y trouve des sièges à l'intérieur ainsi qu'à l'extérieur, si vous avez la chance d'en dénicher un. Cocktails rafraîchissants & amuse-bouches à partager au rendez-vous. À faire au moins une fois pendant l'été !

I will say that they make delicious cocktails. It's a boat on the canal, so quite charming visually.

tellement over rated ..un vieux bateau de petite taille..une déco quétaine..pas de musique ..les cocktails c'est du jus avec de la glace..les tapas si ont peut appeler ça ainsi, vraiment décevant..on a attendu au quai 15 mins avant que le serveur réalise qu'ont était là & qu'il nous offres d'entrer meme s'il y avait plusieurs places disponibles...bref j'avais vraiment envie d'y aller mais l'expérience a été décevante.

Cool boat that could have been a great atmosphere but fake flowers, color changing leds, & mismatched furniture (not in the good way) ruins it. Cocktails are fine not more, but priced accordingly at least. What you have then is a so so dive bar on the water. Combine with really bad service when we visited, we waited for our drinks for over 45 minutes & were only served excuses, no apologies. Too bad, but won't be back.

Honestly, this is such a unique place, & I loved every second of it when I went there for a date! It was a rainy evening, & there was one other group sitting in the back having a good time. The whole aesthetic at that moment felt like it was from a Hallmark movie, with the rain splashing on the window, sitting across from a pretty girl sipping her rum cocktail, & the lighting that brought a sense of comfort & nostalgia for something you lost but never had. The drinks were reasonably priced & delicious. I've paid $40 for drinks that weren't even half as good as these. I met the owner too, & he was really sweet, explaining the history behind the place. I want this place to be a super hot spot, but for my own selfish reasons, I wish it stays our little secret. Highly recommend it!

L’idée est bonne; bateau qui rappel les belles expériences de Paris; on s’attend à un endroit chic, les clients sont sur leur 36. Par contre tout se gâche lorsque le staff est en T-shirt, jeans & allure décadente. Cocktail sans alcool & chip en sac. Mais l’idée est bonne, bien localisé & les passant en canoë sont très sympathiques!
