Mid-May is when Montreal flips the switch. The terrace is no longer a possibility; it is the plan. F1 nights are coming, menus are changing, and anniversaries start filling the calendar.
This edition brings together the things that set up the season: venues moving outside, events building energy, and a few updates worth knowing before summer starts moving too quickly.
Old Montreal takes the street back
In need of sunshine? Our terraces are waiting all along Saint-Paul Street: pizza, wine, cocktails, and late nights. Featuring Balboa, Mignon, and Santos' very first terrace after 19 years. That is the centre of the season: walk around, pick a room, order a drink, and decide you might as well stay for dinner.
Santos starts building toward Grand Prix
The city is about to speed up. Santos has DJ nights all Grand Prix weekend long: Wednesday 20 Single's Edition, Thursday 21 Christina x Ridley and trivia, Friday Julius x DJ CRK, Saturday LORIE x D-Boy, and Sunday Belen Garces.
Nineteen years of parties, cocktails, tacos, music, and memories. A big celebration is coming June 4. Between Grand Prix and Santos turning 19, the month already feels like one long night out.
Menus, apero, and pizza for what comes next
Fresh flavours are landing soon at Mignon. In the meantime, apéro now runs from 4 to 7, with $1.50 oysters every day. Welcoming summer the only way we know how: pizza, wine, music, and good company. June 9. More details coming soon. A fresh new menu landed May 7: new flavours, seasonal plates, and elevated snacking, ready for terrace season.
Worth keeping an eye on
