Founded in 1889 by Joseph Bourdeau & Daniel Hatton, The Boating Club of Ste-Rose was the most renowned nautical club in the region. Located next to the Plessis-Bélair Bridge, near the Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, the club was mostly composed of English-speaking Montreal vacationers. The club organized regattas and social evenings as well as balls in the "Club House". 125 years later, with the initiative of a Bourdeau (as in 1889) and his group of friends, The Boating Club comes back to life! In this great project we find, among others, the group of co-owners of the Philemon Bar in Old Montreal. Zébulon Perron, the designer behind enormous success such as, Grinder, La Buvette à Simone, Furco. Francis Lorrain from Boucherie Lorrain in Rosemère and Gary Sousa our captain.

Review Summary

Overall, patrons consistently praise Le Boating Club for excellent food and attentive service in a warm, lively setting that works for dates, celebrations, and casual evenings with friends. Dishes are frequently described as creative and generously portioned, with favorites including oysters, braised beef, gnocchi, seafood pastas, and standout desserts, while cocktails and wine are noted as well balanced. The ambiance combines chic and cozy with an open kitchen and flexible spaces, including a private room for events and a heated terrace that suits a festive mood. Some recurring caveats include noise and bustle on Fridays and Saturdays due to DJs and crowds, occasional delays during peak times, and occasional miscommunications about menus or dietary needs. Parking is mainly valet or street nearby. The staff are repeatedly credited with warmth, friendliness, and professionalism, helping create memorable experiences and often going the extra mile for celebrations. Taken together, Le Boating Club is viewed as a standout option in the area for quality food, strong service, and a vibrant atmosphere, with the caveat that it can be loud and busy at peak times.

Loved it! Great food, service & ambiance. It has valet parking which was an unexpected (but highly appreciated) plus. Will come back for sure.

Seul point négatif: TRÈS bruyant :( Victime de sa popularité, les jeudis surtout, quoi!

Nourriture excellente, on se passerait du service de valet, service un peu trop rapide... l'excellente nourriture fait oublier tout cela!
