With the return of summer, it\u2019s impossible to resist the call of the terraces! There\u2019s nothing like a good meal in a cool oasis to get your mind off things and take a welcome break. And downtown Montreal has no shortage of pleasant places to soak up the sun\u2019s rays while enjoying a fresh, summery meal; sometimes all you have to do is turn a corner to enjoy a little peace and quiet and sit away from the crowds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re craving bold Asian flavours<\/strong>, comforting Italian dishes<\/strong>, a great cup of coffee<\/strong> or a laid-back ap\u00e9ro<\/strong>, there\u2019s a terrace waiting for you. Here are our favourite spots to eat outside in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

Italian and European Flavours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Looking for a refined meal with a European vibe right in the heart of downtown? These 3 spots in the Golden Square Mile all feature inviting terraces, perfect for enjoying a well-crafted dish outdoors.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Il Cortile<\/a> is tucked away with a quiet, flower-filled inner terrace that feels like a Mediterranean escape. Think pasta, grilled meats, fresh fish, all served in a setting straight out of an Italian film.<\/p>\n

Le Pois Pench\u00e9<\/a> brings Parisian brasserie energy to boulevard de Maisonneuve, with white tablecloths, generous parasols, and classics like bouillabaisse and duck confit on the menu.<\/p>\n

On Peel Street, Ferreira Caf\u00e9<\/a> is a go-to for lovers of Portuguese cuisine. Its elegant covered terrace offers a stylish, all-season escape right in the middle of downtown.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
