Here are a few things happening around Montreal today, January 23, to tide you over before Friday and the weekend creeps up on you.
Le Cathcart Restaurants et Biergarten
It looks like the Eaton Centre’s Time Out Market is about to get some tasty competition.
As part of Ville Marie’s $200-million revitalization, the now-closed Place Ville Marie food court has been transformed into a gourmet food and beer garden.
The 35,000-sq-ft space has been rejuvenated as Le Cathcart Restaurants et Biergarten under the glass pavilion of the Place Ville Marie Esplanade.
Open seven days a week, all year round, the biergarten offers seating for more than a thousand people with three full-service restaurants, nine food kiosks, and two cafes, aiming to become the go-to destination for business lunches, happy hour, and festive evenings alike.
Le Catchart opens to the public today.
When:Â Thursday, January 23
Time:Â 7 am to 11 pm
Where:Â 1 Place Ville Marie
