Stay hot: You can now dine inside these new rooftop bubble tents in Old Montreal

If the winter blues have you longing for terrace season, one of Old Montreal’s most iconic restaurants has a solution:

Rooftop bubble tents.

Terrasse William Gray is warming up the winter big time with its brand-new winter pop-up dining experience, which kicked off its winter-long stint on December 1.

The eighth floor of the popular hotel offers guests a chance to enjoy a majestic dinner inside transparent heated frameless geodesic domes.

Soak up the Montreal skyline without sacrificing your body to frostbite.

Each heated dome is 108 sq ft and can accommodate groups of four to eight people.

Over the course of the winter, Terrasse William Gray will be offering monthly menu themes to fit with Montreal’s cultural calendar including the holidays, Igloofest (January), Valentine’s Day (February), and sugar shack season (March).

Each menu is crafted by Terrasse William Gray’s chef using locally sourced ingredients along with a limited-edition special cocktail list.
