About Us

Auberge Saint-Gabriel, North America's first inn and the country's first legal drinking establishment, was once home to the print shop that published the newspaper Le Patriote, and was even a fur-trading post before it became a highlight of Quebec's fine dining scene and a one of Montréal's hottest night spots. For 300 years, the Auberge has been a maker of memorable evenings, from cocktails on the patio and drinks at its intimate bars to meals in the opulent dining room and private events in its stunning halls.

Acquired in 1987 by the Bolay family, Auberge Saint-Gabriel has earned a sterling reputation. Its new owners, Marc Bolay, Garou and Guy Laliberté, turned it into a masterpiece, transforming this reminder of the past into a decidedly modern venue with playful nods to history. The Auberge was redesigned by Bruno Braën (Rufus Rockhead, Club Chasse et Pêche, Big in Japan), who had fun with the iconography associated with Quebec's history, honouring its heritage while remaining lighthearted. Brilliant!

Born in Sweden, Ola Claesson starts his culinary career at a very young age. Born into a family of chef, his first love is cuisine, which he discovers through the exploration of flavors and rich traditions.

Ola leaves Sweden in 2005. After traveling the world to discover new flavors, he settles in Paris and works at world-renowned, Michelin-starred restaurants like Meurice and Le Pré Catelan. It is only during his time working at Spring Paris that he discovers his true passion for market cuisine and local products – a culinary philosophy that would stay with him forever and inspires him to this day.

Chef Claesson, after a few years in London, at the head of a private gastronomic restaurant, leaves Europe for the beautiful city of Montreal.

Not ready to go home just yet? Head down to Velvet, a parallel universe in Auberge Saint-Gabriel's basement. Talk a walk down the long, candlelit stone hallway and step into the thick smoke surrounding the dance floor of Montréal's sultriest night club. Explore the wild cocktail list and discover top-notch DJs. At Velvet, there are no rules—it comes as a shock when it's time to leave at 3am.

We had our wedding at Auberge Saint-Gabriel in January. Working with Valerie was a dream for our wedding! Our day was perfectly executed from the ceremony to dinner to dancing. The food was delicious & cooked to perfection! Our guests are still raving about the quality of the food & the ambiance of the space.View more

Amazing atmosphere, however, food was really basic & small quantity for the price. We ordered oysters with crab, the oysters were the smallest oysters we ever had & the crab did not come with a tail. They gave us some crab legs & another part of the crab which almost had no meat. We only one drink & paid almost $400 & walked out hungry. Lastly, the waitress forgot to bring our vegetable plate with our cheese fondue. They also need to train their waitress a little bit of class, first, she picked up my fork from where I put my mouth, & retuned it on my table without exchanging it, second she picked up my tea cup to make space from where I put my lips on the cup, third she was behind my back looking at the amount of tips of was entering when I was paying for the bill. I'd give the place & the atmosphere a five star but the food, drinks & the service 2.2 stars....View more

We had a wonderful experience here. We stopped in when our reservation down the street was canceled. We were a little frazzled as we are traveling with our 6mo son, & finding restaurants where we can comfortably dine with him & keep him out of the way can be difficult. They were so welcoming & immediately accommodated us. There were no 2 tops available so they sat us at the 10 person banquet table. We had a good laugh & were able to keep our stroller out of the way & have plenty of room to feed him & get him to sleep. There were several other families there which was a welcome sight. The food was unique & delicious. The servers were all friendly & warm. Plus the venue itself is so cool! Makes you feel like you're in Game of Thrones.View more

Great food & good vibes although the music gets very loud at times. Pretty slow services for the price & standing of the place. We reserved for 9pm & waited 30+ min to be seated & that's happened more than twice.View more
