Celebrate good times, come on! Whether it’s a promotion, engagement or simply a great night out with friends, a glass of champagne is a great way to celebrate any occasion. Pay a visit to these top Montreal spots for a good glass of bubbly.
Feeling fancy? Head to Suite 701, in the Place d’Armes Hotel, for a chic glass of champagne and a great night with friends. The ambiance is posh, but friendly, and you’ll definitely feel like you’re a part of the “it” crowd. They serve roughly 10 different kinds of champagne by the bottle, as well as a killer list of cocktails.
Philémon is a trendy establishment, without being too pretentious. If you’re not dancing on the speakers at 2 a.m. (yes, this place can get a little rowdy), then you’ll likely be mingling with the young professional crowd around happy hour. In case you’re in the mood to celebrate, they offer a wide selection of champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass or by the bottle. You can get a decent bottle of sparkling wine for as low as $43.
The name says it all. La Champagnerie serves up over 70 types of champagne in a rustic chic setting in the Old Port of Montreal. This bar is romantic enough to celebrate an anniversary, yet casual enough to celebrate a night out with friends. If the bar isn’t busy, be sure to ask the bartender to show you the sabrage technique. It’s a neat party trick.
If you’re in the mood for a more intimate celebration, head over to Pullman on Parc Avenue for a low key but upscale celebration. The décor is urban chic and the lighting often sets a romantic mood. There is a tapas style menu to go with the wide selection of wines and bubbly to suit any mood. Reservations are recommended, as this place can get quite tight.
