Indoor Terraces in Montreal : the most beautiful year-round terraces

If you are a Montrealer, the likelihood is that you know the feeling of desperate longing for vitamin D that starts to creep in at the end of the long winter. The obvious cure? Spending all of your free time relaxing on a beautiful terrace the moment the snow melts. Of course.

With the abundance of terraces in Montreal, there is the perfect place for you regardless of whether you are looking to eat delicious food, enjoy festive cocktails, or just spend some quality time with friends. They come in all shapes and sizes ; sidewalk terraces, rooftop terraces, and hidden backyard terraces. Today, we are here to talk about the terraces that are enclosed with lots of windows, allowing us to enjoy the conveniences of being indoors as well as the beauty and atmosphere of being outdoors.

There are so many benefits to an indoor terrace. We all know how unpredictable the summer weather is, so it is important to have a few dependable addresses in your back pocket, for the days that are either rainy or far too hot to sit outside. Indoor terraces are also a great way to escape the hot summer smog of the metropolitan core. Finally, the best part of these indoor terraces is that we can enjoy a lot of them all year round! Although they may not give off the same summery vibes during the winter months, they still provide us with a small escape from our indoor hibernations.

The addresses featured on this list are all the places we love to visit to eat tasty dishes, try delicious cocktails, and soak up the beautiful atmosphere. If you are still unconvinced of the perks of indoor terraces, check out our lists of the most beautiful sidewalk terraces, the best rooftop terraces, or our favourite hidden terraces in Montreal.

Bon appétit, and happy summer!

The kitchen here is run by chef Riccardo Bertolino, who was appointed by Boulud himself, and has created one of our favourite menus in the city! The combination of Bertolino’s Italian roots and Boulud’s classic french cuisine has resulted in a final product that is unique, expressive, and incredibly delicious. Adjacent to the dining room is the beautiful veranda, where we go to relax in style, elegance, and the warmth of the sunlight.
