Restaurants to discover in Sainte-Thérèse
The town of Sainte-Thérèse, north of Montreal, is well known as a cultural and artistic hub. Lionel-Groulx College, located in the heart of the city, is an important stop for many students. This is why the village of Sainte-Thérèse has a multitude of restaurants to discover, to the delight of food lovers.
Sainte-Thérèse offers a wide variety of restaurants and a clientele that is just as varied. During the week, at lunch hour, students and workers invade the restaurants. In the evening, another clientele flocks in because of the numerous theaters in the city. On weekend evenings, students take over the restaurants and bars and the village of Sainte-Thérèse can quickly become very lively. The municipality has gained a lot of popularity in the last few years, especially since the creation of the Santa Teresa festival and the construction of a new performance hall.
While locals are familiar with the local restaurants, cafes and bars, not everyone who is passing through for a concert or exhibition may be. There are so many good restaurants in Sainte-Thérèse that it can be difficult to find your way around. Whether you’re looking for a quick, low-cost lunch, a good burger, the best sushi, or a place to get a sweet treat, there’s something for everyone.

Arousse Sainte-Thérèse
Le Arousse is a true institution on the North Shore of Montreal. When the restaurant went up in flames in February 2018, locals were inconsolable. Fortunately, the address was quickly able to resume service in a nearby location. Here, you can savour classic Lebanese cuisine, including the famous shish taouk chicken, “the best chicken in the world”. Whether you want to grab a sandwich on the way in or enjoy the large terrace in the summer, we strongly recommend a visit to Arousse. Photo Arousse Sainte-Thérèse

L’Atelier Sushi
Atelier Sushi stands out thanks to the colourful and delicious creations of chef Darasack Sosanavongsa. Here you can savour excellent sushi or poké at very reasonable prices at lunch time. As well, the warm atmosphere and inviting decor make it a staple for the more festive weekend evenings. The address has been the talk of sushi lovers on the North Shore since its opening in 2017. Note that it is also possible to order to take-out. We advise you call early on Fridays and Saturdays to avoid waiting due to a high volume of orders. Photo L’Atelier Sushi
