Only 4 Quebec restaurants cracked Canada's top 100 patios list and they're all in Montreal

Montrealers love a good terrasse. ๐Ÿน

The outdoor area of Maison Boulud. Right: Hotel William Gray's rooftop patio

From hidden garden courtyards to rooftop views of the Old Port, these four local spots have clearly left an impression on diners.

Senior Writer

Summer weather is upon us, and that can only mean one thing for Montreal: terrasse season is officially here.

Every year, OpenTable releases a list of the Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada, based on diner reviews and booking trends. For 2025, only four patios in all of Quebec made the cut โ€” and every single one of them is right here in Montreal.

From hidden garden courtyards to rooftop views of the Old Port, these four local spots have clearly left an impression on diners from near and far.

Here are the Montreal restaurants that made OpenTable's 2025 outdoor dining list:
