Bars and restaurants where you can watch hockey in Montreal
Where to go to watch hockey game while enjoying a good meal in Montreal – The Montreal Canadiens are much more than just a hockey team for Quebecers! It was Loco Locass who said that the social fabric of Montreal is made up of Sainte-Flanelle. In Quebec, hockey has reached the status of a true religion for some, and sitting down with family or friends to watch your favourite team play is the equivalent of Sunday mass. Throughout the year, you can feel the excitement from all corners of the city when our players strap on their skates and jump on the ice. This year, the prowess of Cole Caufield, Carey Price, Tyler Toffoli and others kept the fans’ hearts beating until the final week of the season.
The playoffs promise to be exciting right up until the very end and you can feel the excitement from the fans. While the playoff fever has already taken hold of us, we are already thinking about the game nights spent savouring good food in good company. Knowing that like us, some fans like to watch the game while having a good meal, we have prepared a list of places where you can eat well while watching the game. To make it easier for you to find the right places to eat, we have separated the addresses into two categories: those for festive evenings and those that are more gastronomic.
