Everything new in Montreal’s restaurant scene this week: May 22 to May 28

The Montreal foodie scene is nothing short of dynamic with its ever-changing rotation of chefs, events, and openings, making it difficult to keep up to date.

So to help you stay informed, we compiled a list of the latest Montreal news in the food and beverage industry for you to note down and check out!

HVOR

Griffintown’s HVOR announced their rebranding with a new kitchen team as well as a new “À la Carte” menu. The restaurant used to serve a “hidden” menu where guests were surprised by the chef’s creations. Out with the old and in with the new, you’ll still find the same beautiful Scandinavian decor but you can now pick the dishes you would like to eat from the menu. In the kitchen, it is now a join effort between some new faces and the veteran HVOR team.

LA VOÛTE

The newest addition to the Montreal nightclub scene, La Voûte, is located in the basement of the historic former RBC Bank in Old Montreal. The nightclub is officially opening to the public this weekend. After a soft media and VIP launch last week, this new hotspot will now be the go-to place for a night out since La Voûte combines entertainment and partying, with live artists and DJs to set the tone for a burlesque evening.
