The 46th floor is where patrons will find the dining room, bar and open-concept kitchen. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner and provides Montrealers and visitors alike with private rooms for meetings, business lunches, or dinners with work associates.
Now, let's talk food. Hiatus offers a French-Japanese menu spearheaded by chefs Yoann Therer, Kari Prassi and Olivier Vigneault, who are bringing their experience from Montreal hotspots Jatoba, ÃŽle Flottante, Pastel and Nomi, to the forefront at Hiatus. The dishes focus on fresh and quality Japanese ingredients combined with French cooking techniques.
The entrée menu includes oven-baked oysters made with shiitake, garlic butter and miso; bluefin tuna; foie gras tart prepared with Asian pear, hazelnut and shiso; and ramen made with matsutake mushrooms, poached egg and corn.
As for the mains, Hiatus offers wagyu beef; an aged duck served with beets, wild strawberry and purple shiso; pork kurobota; and a miso eggplant made with buttermilk, tonburi and rye.

The interior was designed by Sid Lee Architecture and allows guests to enjoy a likely rather extravagant night all while surrounded by lush greenery, warm tones, and lots of light.
A key component of this new posh eatery is the rooftop terrasse. Located on the 44th floor of Place Ville Marie, RoseOrange is joining Montreal's impressive roster of rooftop terrasses. However, this spot in particular has taken things up a notch — it's the highest outdoor point of view in all of Montreal.
The terrasse is ideal for those looking to catch the sunset or settle into the night with some summertime appetizers and refreshing drinks. The RoseOrange menu consists of more low-key bits such as marinated olives, smoked eggplant hummus, heirloom tomato salad, a prawn cocktail and a seafood platter made up of oysters, shrimp, albacore tuna, snow crab and scallops.
A few cocktails that sound perfect for a summer night include Summer At Home, which features watermelon and cucumber, the Yessir Miller with peach and white cranberry, as well as the El Coco-Fresa, which is made up of strawberry, coconut and lemon. All cocktails can be made with any base alcohol of your liking.
The goal behind the Place Ville Marie project is to enhance Montreal's foodie experience and attract Montreal residents and tourists to the downtown core, and judging by its menu and location, Hiatus and RoseOrange just might do the trick.
