Le Club Chasse et Pêche

"Tucked away behind an unshowy entrance, this restaurant is located between City Hall and the old port, next to the Château Ramezay. Part of its appeal lies in the historical character of the setting with its thick stone walls and wooden beams. With subdued lighting and cozy leather armchairs, the atmosphere is intimate and romantic, reminiscent of an upscale club. The menu changes regularly to reflect the seasons and showcases local ingredients. Dishes include vol-au-vent with veal sweetbreads and lobster, halibut in a white wine sauce with bacon jam, trout gently confit in olive oil, and American Wagyu beef with pommes dauphines and Choron sauce. The cuisine, which is essentially French, stands out thanks to tasty sauces that provide interesting contrasts. The extensive wine list has something liable to please every palate." - Michelin Inspector

"Hubert Marsolais and Claude Pelletier’s original restaurant has been the training ground for many of Montreal’s most reputable chefs. While Chasse et Pêche has since grandfathered several inventive places to eat (see: nearby Italian restaurant Le Serpent and Le Filet in the Plateau), this one remains both a testament to hunting and fishing and a true Montreal institution." - Eater Staff

"A fishing and hunting club it is not, but bounty from the sea and the land do feature heavily in the menu at Le Club Chasse et Pêche, in dishes like the quail with sumac, salsify, pistachio, and giblets, or the arctic char with sea asparagus, ikura, and white wine sauce." - Eater Staff

"Though the name translates as "hunting and fishing club" and clubby decor (inherited from the previous restaurant) prevails, Le Club was never, in fact, a private club. The menu also pays a nod to the restaurant's name with its local fish and game dishes that are served in the dark, intimate, somewhat stuffy rooms. (The same group has three more casual options if that sounds more appealing: Le Serpent, the buzzy Le Filet, and the family's Italian cousin, Il Miglio.) In the winter, Le Club is open for dinner only, while in the summer a terrace provides the perfect setting for a long, leisurely lunch of chef Claude Pelletier's sophisticated take on Québecois cuisine."
