Perché Bar Terrasse
Hotel William Gray may already offer an exquisite eighth floor terrasse, but their newest addition, fourth floor Le Perche, offers a sophisticated, urban escape from the bustling Old Port below. -
High enough to feel like an oasis from the busy tourist street below, but just close enough to the ground to benefit from the street performances and Old Port views, Perche’s unique, lush landscape is a hidden gem nestled right in the middle of the action.

Crew Collective & Café
Inarguably the most beautiful café in all of Montreal—and for a café-rich city, that’s saying something—Crew Collective & Café operates in a historical bank lobby that dates back to the 1920s. -
The landmark building boasts magnificently tall ceilings, ambient lighting, and private work spaces, while original, preserved bank artifacts grace the walls.

While a relatively new addition to Montreal, sushi and sake bar Le Blossom has already left an impression on design lovers across the city. Le Blossom makes a mean hand roll and offers one of the best sake selections in town, but the real star of the show is the custom-made, full-sized faux cherry blossom tree planted right in the middle of the restaurant.

The Blade Runner–inspired bar was brought to life by renowned designer Guillaume Ménard, and has quickly nestled its way into the hearts of many Montrealers.

Ristorante Beatrice
This Italian mainstay is a great escape from downtown’s busy Sherbrooke Street West. The restaurant offers a gorgeous terrasse in the summer and a light-filled solarium come winter. -
Stop by for the decadent, homemade pasta and cannoli, and stay for that extra glass of wine and sweeping views of one of Montreal’s most prestigious shopping streets.

The brain child of Jen Agg (of I Hear She’s a Real Bitch fame) and Arcade Fire’s Régine Chassagne, this Haitian hotspot promises an intersect of gorgeous atmosphere and a pared-back selection of expertly curated dishes.

Impossibly bright natural lighting, sweeping views, and sci-fi inspired furnishings are just some of what you’ll find in the city—if you know where to look. Here, we’ve laid out a selection of the most beautifully designed haunts that Montreal has to offer.
