Montreal's restaurant scene just got a whole lot swankier with the newest eat-and-drink addition on the block: Hiatus and RoseOrange. Located at Place Ville Marie, Hiatus is a resto-bar combo offering up breathtakingly panoramic views of Montreal's skyline, a sight that can be best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand.

Hiatus, which officially opened its doors on August 1, 2023, occupies two top floors of Place Ville Marie. On the 45th floor, guests will be able to find a café-bar that will remain open all day so you can enjoy a morning coffee, an afternoon bite, or an after-work 5 à 7. As the evening eases in, the café bar area of Hiatus will offer a selection of wines by the glass and cocktails, as well as small bites, all in a cozy, upscale setting.
