The story

Montréal Plaza: Modern French Cuisine in Montréal – Michelin Recommended

A place that feels like a discovery

On Rue Saint-Hubert, just north of the city centre, Montréal Plaza occupies a corner of the neighbourhood that feels both familiar and fresh. The dining room opens for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, from 5:30 to 10:30 PM, and the atmosphere is one of unpretentious warmth—a place where the team genuinely enjoys what they do.

Chef Charles-Antoine Crête and the spirit of the house

The kitchen is led by chef Charles-Antoine Crête, whose creative energy extends well beyond the restaurant. A documentary portrait, Un chef en terre inconnue, follows his work inside the striking, self-sufficient geodesic home he built—and traces how that same inventive thinking flows into his restaurants. At Montréal Plaza, he collaborates closely with Sébastien Deraspe, and together they shape a menu that feels both rooted and surprising.

The cuisine is best described as modern French, though the plates often nod to broader influences—bright, precise, and never rigid. Dishes change with the seasons and the market, and the kitchen’s confidence shows in the balance of each course.

A Michelin nod and a neighbourly feel

Montréal Plaza was selected for the MICHELIN Guide in 2026, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s quiet ambition. Yet the tone here is anything but formal. The team encourages guests to call if online booking doesn’t work: “We love talking to humans,” they say. That openness extends to the sibling spot next door, Juliette Plaza, open all day for a more casual take on the same thoughtful cooking.

Whether you come for the refined modern French cuisine or simply for a glass of wine at the counter, Montréal Plaza offers an evening that feels both special and genuinely welcoming.
