Terrasses Bonsecours
Perhaps the most popular terrasse in Old Montreal, Terrasses Bonsecours is a massive complex that sits on the Saint Lawrence River in Old Port. Known for their awesome Grand Prix parties, and of course, their unbeatable sangria, Terrasses Bonsecours is a must!

Lemeac
In addition to having the French toast of your dreams, this upscale French eatery in Outremont has one of the most beautiful terrasses in the entire city. Enclosed in hedging to make you feel as though you’ve been transported to a lavish French garden, you may visit Lemeac for the food but you’ll stay extra long because of the breezy patio!
Where: 1045 Avenue Laurier O
Juliette et Chocolat
Juliette et Chocolat is a staple of Montreal’s dessert scene, however, you may not know that certain locations have terrasses in the summertime. Our personal favourite? The J&C on Laurier. Not only does it sit within the quaint and historic streets of Outremont, but it offers great views of the mountain! Head to Mandy’s on Laurier for dinner before settling in at Juliette et Chocolat Laurier for the perfect post-salad treat.
Where: 377 Avenue Laurier O
Terrasse sur L’Auberge
For a gorgeous view of Montreal’s Old Port, the rooftop terrasse at L’Auberge is perfect. Be sure to plan a visit on one of the International Fireworks Competition nights as you’ll be treated to a prime spot for all of the action.

HVOR
Griffintown is where you’ll find one of the only gardenside terrasses in the city.

Enjoy their always-fresh and constantly-changing menu outdoors in one of Montreal’s hippest neighbourhoods.
Where: 1414 Notre-Dame St W
Terrasse Nelligan

Foodlab
Leave it to the SAT to create an awesome patio experience. Foodlab is the SAT’s rooftop restaurant, allowing Montrealers to dine under nothing but the moon and the twinkling fairy lights. Their small but delicious menu is sure to impress, not to mention their extensive wine selection.

Terrasse St-Ambroise
Looking for the brewery experience? Look no further than Terrasse St-Ambroise. An extremely popular spot come summer, this open-air pub opens at noon daily and serves up classic bbq grub alongside a wide selection of beers. Take in the Lachine Canal and sit back with a St-Ambroise Pale Ale in hand.

Le Reservoir
International tapas, microbrewed beer, and a rooftop terrasse are just a few of the perks of Le Reservoir. This hipster bar in the Plateau is a great spot to go for a small bite to eat and some beer. Its industrial vibe and prime location just off of Saint Laurent make it the perfect spot to visit on a Friday night.
Where: 9 Avenue Duluth E
Bar Alexandraplatz
Open seasonally, Bar Alexandraplatz is a popular summer hangout spot. Though you won’t find any food here, it is a great place for wine, beer, and inventive cocktails. The intimate terrasse won’t fit large groups, however, on busy nights, the patio tends to trickle onto the street creating a late-night outdoor block party of sorts.
Where: 6731 Esplanade Ave
Agrikol
Head to the Gay Village for a scrumptious plate of Haitian food and one of the most romantic terrasses in the city. As if you’ve entered a fairytale, Agrikol’s backyard patio has candlelit tables and a massive tree adorned with lights and lanterns. It is certainly a great spot to take a date!
