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.
Nous avons adoré notre brunch! Tout était savoureux, le décor magnifique & le service impéccable! Les assiettes sont copieuses & le menu offre des plats pour tous les goûts qui se distinguent des grandes chaines de resto-déjeuner. Nous avons déjà hâte d'y retourner! Très belle découverte!
Tout était vraiment délicieux. Le seul petit bémol, à mon goût, c'est qu'ils ne font pas de cafés filtres ordinaire. Ils font juste expresso ou laté etc.
First time there - the food was amazing & the drinks were too! So was the ambiance & crowd.
Only issue was our waiter was running around & eventually stopped coming to us, we had to wave him down mid-rushing-around to get ourselves another drink & eventually the bill, but overall the rest didn't disappoint
Love coming here. The food, service & atmosphere are always perfect. Our waiter was excellent. He suggested a great wine & picked a great gin for my martini. He made our night a great experience. We had 2 friends that came for the first time & as he said, it won't be their last. Thank you.
J'avais réservé en ligne ( mauvaise idée )! ... lorsque nous sommes arrivé ! La table où ils voulaient nous installé ! en fait n'était pas bien situer ... désolé c'est la seule place pour deux que nous avons de disponible ..... l'hôtesse nous a suggérer de nous asseoir côté bar .. ce que nous avons fait ... & le résultat a été excellent ! Le serveur qui travaillait au bar ce soir la ! Était excellent ! La nourriture excellente , Seul bémol .. notre arrivé !
Très bon service, Maxence notre serveur sommelier fin connaisseur & amoureux des vins nous a tellement bien dirigé pour les choix de vins tout au long du repas & les mets & les desserts, formidable!
We had stopped going because we felt the quality/quantity/variety was not up to expectations. However, I must say that yesterday I found my boating club back. Actually even too much in the plates as far as quantities but the flavors were awesome, the lamb was so tasty & tender, the gnocchis were to die for, lots of octopus in the plate & the pheasant was well spiced & super crispy. Way to go, you got us back
