Italian restaurant · Downtown Montreal

"Adjacent to Dominion Square Tavern lies this attractive place, more recently opened under the same management. Taking inspiration from the ‘50s, expect a diverse cocktail list and all the beautiful mid-century modern décor you used to see over at grandma’s place — a chic, high-end grandma, that is. Balsam walks the line between restaurant and bar, so classy Italian fare is an option, too." - Daniel Bromberg
