Restaurants open on Sunday evenings in Montreal
Ah, Sundays! More often than not, we feel the blues. School and work start up again the next day for most of us, and the weekend seems to have flown by far too quickly… All sorts of reasons can influence our mood on this last day of the week. But why not turn it into something pleasant and festive to keep the spirits up? Fortunately, several restaurants open on Sunday evenings let you extend the weekend with a good meal and a warm atmosphere. Take a moment and plan a date night or a friendly get-together to make the most of your Sunday evening! After all, nothing is stopping you from going out on a Sunday—except maybe your mindset or the weather.
This list has been put together to give you ideas of places where you can celebrate or simply enjoy a nice meal in a welcoming setting. If you’re looking for restaurants open on Sunday evenings, you’ve come to the right place! Of course, nothing is stopping you from going out with the family, even if the article is called “Sunday date.” Just make sure not to pick a bar if your kids are underage.
