Over at the new Hyatt Hotel in Old Montreal, you’ll find the Cartier Arms, a British-inspired restaurant made with fresh, local ingredients. From Chef Marc Santos and the team behind Burgundy Lion comes a space that feels like you’ve stepped back in time to Canada at the height of the railroad era and the swankiest clubs in Victorian London.

Address: 611 rue Notre-Dame E
Phone: 514-657-2444
