Name’s on the Way, a New Supper Club, Lands in the Plateau | Eater Montreal

"Tucked in the thick of the Plateau, I visited Name’s on the Way, a new dinner-and-drinks haunt that opened just shy of a month ago and bills itself as a “modern-day hipster supper club.” The name began as a working title among partners and stuck; the team includes co-owner Peter Mant (Apt.200, Suwu, Ecole Privée), Phil Allard-Riendeau, Alex Besnard and Pat Hetu (both from A5 hospitality), and chef Robin Filteau Boucher. It's a nighttime affair fuelled by DJ sets and seasonal sharing plates that currently feature asparagus in a Bearnaise-style sauce, grilled cucumber with ricotta scoops and leeks, beef carpaccio with artichoke crisps, and a creamy rapini pasta. The drinks program leans natural and convivial, with a robust natural wine list, white and red sangrias, and a cocktail menu stacked with herby, fruit-filled concoctions. The 75-seat space keeps the structural layout and bright whites of the previous occupant but has removed boho markers like rattan seating and tropical prints for design touches suited to its nocturnal focus, and the team plans occasional pop-up brunches. Name’s on the Way is open Wednesday to Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight at 500 Rachel East." - Valerie Silva
