The Best Restaurants in Pointe-Saint-Charles: Our suggestions
Pointe-Saint-Charles has blossomed from a historically hardworking industrial neighbourhood into an up and coming cultural corner of Montreal. Most importantly, it has become a neighbourhood with an impressive culinary scene, which our most important criteria! For everyone attending C2 Montréal, it is crucial to be aware of the best gourmet addresses in the neighbourhood to replenish.
Considering the Lachine Canal, impressive amount of greenery, and the close proximity to Atwater Market, it makes sense that Pointe-Saint-Charles is flourishing. This new chapter of Pointe-Saint-Charles began in 2002, when the Lachine Canal reopened as a designated tourist space. However, the area has since evolved beyond the Canal and parks, and is now a community that fosters creativity and commerce!
One of the many beauties of Pointe-Saint-Charles is its diversity. We especially love neighbourhoods that offer a wide variety of addresses with different cuisines and atmospheres. Whether you’re drawn to gourmet restaurants, festive bars or casual eateries, this list has something for you! If you’re looking for address recommendations in another neighbourhood, you can use our map to find the best restaurants that are close to you.
