New openings in downtown Montreal – November 2026

The leaves have fallen, temperatures are dropping, and the holiday spirit is slowly making its way into the city. November is all about slowing down, staying cozy, and easing into hibernation mode. But downtown Montreal? It’s showing no signs of slowing down!

This month’s new openings are giving us plenty of reasons to head out: an herbal shop made for slowing things down, a Montreal streetwear boutique, a supper club where dinner turns into a night out, a tiramisu bar, and a new spot for anyone craving a good steak or BBQ ribs.

Here are 5 new places to check out.

Claire e. – a cozy space to slow down

Just steps away from the downtown buzz, Claire e. brings a little peace and quiet to Mackay Street. Created by herbalist Claire Elliot, this new herbal apothecary and general store invites visitors to explore the world of medicinal plants through a thoughtfully curated selection of herbal blends, teas, and everyday objects. A warm, welcoming space made for discovering something new and taking your time.

The shop also hosts workshops and tastings for those curious to dive a little deeper into the world of herbs. From creating your own tea blends to exploring different aromas and learning the art of brewing, it’s all about turning a simple cup of tea into a little everyday ritual.

Léviter – Montreal streetwear reaches new heights

Montreal-based streetwear brand Léviter has landed on Sainte-Catherine Street with a new boutique that brings its creative vision to life. Inspired by youth culture, graphic design, and contemporary fashion, the brand is all about modern silhouettes, bold graphics, and clothing with personality.

Inside, a minimalist interior with neutral tones and natural materials lets the collections do the talking. With Japanese and Korean influences, clean lines, and statement pieces, the space brings fashion and design together. One more stop to add to your next downtown shopping spree.

ALIA – from dinner to late-night

Regulars of the former Time Supper Club will recognize the address, but definitely not the space! After more than 20 years, the iconic Saint-Jacques Street venue has been completely reimagined as ALIA, a new Mediterranean-inspired supper club where dinner is just the beginning of the night. Dim lighting, warm textures, and a chic, intimate atmosphere set the mood from the moment you walk in.

On the menu: shareable plates, grilled lamb chops, Mediterranean sea bass, truffle linguine, and creative cocktails. As the night goes on, the music gets louder, DJs take over, and the energy shifts into party mode. The kind of place where you book a dinner reservation and leave the rest of the night open.

Tunismisu – tiramisu gets its own bar on Mackay

Calling all tiramisu lovers! There’s a new sweet spot in downtown Montreal worth checking out. Tunismisu has opened on Mackay Street with a café-bar concept dedicated to the beloved Italian dessert. Think cozy vibes, good coffee, and a little something sweet to brighten your day.

Here, tiramisu comes in a variety of flavours, served in individual portions perfect for a quick treat or a leisurely dessert break. Pair it with a good cup of coffee, and you’ve got every reason to stay a little longer.

Bâton Rouge – famous ribs, new home on De la Montagne

Bâton Rouge and its famous ribs need no introduction! The well-known Quebec restaurant chain has opened a new location on De la Montagne Street, just steps from the Bell Centre. This location stands out with its chic, cozy interior and open kitchen, giving guests a peek at what’s cooking behind the scenes.

The menu brings back all the favourites that made Bâton Rouge a household name: slow-cooked BBQ ribs, AAA steaks, burgers, and seafood. A great spot for dinner before a show, a night out with friends, or simply when those rib cravings hit.
