About the restaurant

Two panoramic views that will take your breath away
Panoramic views of the Old Port and St. Lawrence River on one side, amazing scenery from St. Paul Street on the other—the rooftop views from Terrasse sur l’Auberge paint a beautiful portrait of Montreal’s historic district. From late June to early August the skyline ignites with an array of colour during the International Fireworks Competition. There’s no better place to enjoy a prime view of these award-winning pyrotechnics. It’s also the perfect observatory to admire the illumination of Jacques Cartier Bridge, every night, at sunset.

We chose this restaurant because of their fantastic roof top views and figured it was a great place to watch the fireworks. It was a truly amazing experience, not only because of the great view, but the wonderful ambience and the incredible service of the staff. Everyone was friendly and seemed to truly enjoy their work. What a great evening!

EXCELLENT dining experience! Our party of 10 tried many dishes (bruschetta, several different pizzas, spaghetti, Bolognese, ravioli, Caesar salad and more) and each dish was delicious. The craft cocktails from the menu were wonderful as well.
