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.
Reviews describe a strong overall experience at Le Boating Club, with high quality food and attentive service, a vibrant atmosphere, and a creative seasonal menu. The staff are repeatedly praised for friendly, professional service that shines for both intimate dinners and group celebrations, with private spaces and karaoke options adding to the appeal. The terrace and bar contribute to a lively vibe and stylish decor, though on busy nights the space can be noisy and the music loud. Sunday oyster nights draw crowds and the braised beef and seafood dishes are frequently highlighted as standouts, while some note that prices can be high and parking is best with valet. A few reviews mention slower service during peak times or occasional miscommunications about allergies or menu substitutions, but overall the sentiment is very positive and many say they plan to return.
What's not to like? Great decor & ambiance, warm, welcoming, friendly & knowledgeable staff & of course the food was wonderful. Great drinks & we really loved the music selection which was played at the perfect volume for a laid back Tuesday night. Great overall restaurant experience where you are made to feel important & valued as a customer.

Super service, des serveurs soucieux de notre satisfaction! Le menu se démarque grandement, est original & surtout délicieux. La place est super belle, ambiance très chouette :)) j'y suis allée pour bruncher mais souhaite vraiment y retourner de soir :)
Bel accueil, bon service, on était au 2e étage sur les tables hautes un peu moins bruyant par contre les pommes de terre très grasses. Mais le brunch était quand même excellent. Nous y retournerons. Merci
Les plats sont bons & très goûteux, par contre tout contient trop de beurre malheureusement .Les gnocchis sont un must !Bonne ambiance & un excellent service.
Nourriture excellente, les pommes de terre & le yogourt sont un délice e, lieu dynamique, sympathique & original. L'espace est très bien pensé & la transformation du bâtiment est très réussie car moderne mais on y a gardé son âme d'origine. Le service est très bien , rapide & très aimable. Allez y encore & encore ....
Delicious brunch options, although limited to plates with eggs. Diversity would be welcome for this set menu. Regardless, very nicely presented & delicious. Vibe of resto is very cute & quaint. Drinks were yum. Cant wait to go back for dinner or a summer night on the terrace. I see this place being awesome no matter the time or season.
Nous avons adoré! Excellente nourriture! Service non guindé & très amical & professionnel! Un keeper assuré pour nous! belle découverte si près de la maison 😊
Les serveurs sont très aimables & serviables. L'endroit, bien que peu spacieux, est tellement charmant & l'ambiance est festive mais également conviviale. C'est une excellente option pour une soirée entre amis ! Je recommande fortement !
