Terrasse Place d’Armes

Old Montréal


The rooftop terrace above the boutique Hôtel Place-d’Armes is a requisite stop on the nightlife circuit if you’re around during the summer. Nicely mixed cocktails, eclectic cuisine and a fantastic view over Place d’Armes and the Basilique Notre-Dame never fail to bring in the beautiful crowd.
