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.
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.

Tout était parfait. L'ambiance, le service, la nourriture. On est arrivé à 18h & quitté vers minuit. La musique était bonne & ça valait l'investissement.
Une mention spéciale pour le service, un des meilleurs reçu à vie!
Loved the place
Awesome ambiance modern with a certain "je ne sais quoi" kitch vibe.
Great cocktails & wine list. The Blue cheese Martine was perfectly concocted.
The oysters were on special & awesome we tried the baked ones also long time I had not tried them like that & they were perfection.
We have the Morue & it was excellent nice charcoal flavour. The Lobster perogies had a little too much sour creme (this could gave been elevated) but that was just a detail Generous amount of lobsters 🦞 . Service was great & friendly experience from start to finish

Belle soirée en général. Le tomahawk, la burrata & les papardelles étaient excellent(es). L'accompagnement de pommes de terre avec le steak laissait à désirer par contre. Ils avaient mis des morceaux complets de tortillons (alias les torsades de fromage déguedines) dans la purée. Cela faisait des bouchées trop salées. En dehors de ça, super première expérience, je recommandes !
