Le Club Chasse et Pêche

Opened in 2005 by chef Claude Pelletier, Le Club Chasse et Pêche is tucked away behind an unmarked door on Rue Saint-Claude, near Château Ramezay and Montreal City Hall in Old Montreal. Thick stone walls, wooden beams, leather chairs and dim lighting set the tone for a refined meal built around land and sea, as the name (hunting and fishing club) suggests.

How to get there

Rue Saint-Claude is a short street between Rue Notre-Dame and Rue Saint-Paul, in the eastern part of Old Montreal. Champ-de-Mars metro station (orange line) is about a five-minute walk. The Old Port and Place Jacques-Cartier are just around the corner.

What to order

The menu changes with the seasons and typically features game, foie gras, seafood and carefully prepared meats. Dishes have included veal sweetbread and lobster vol-au-vent and halibut with bacon jam. Sauces are a highlight, and the wine list is extensive. Leave room for dessert.

Atmosphere

The room is intimate and romantic, more like a private club than a restaurant. It is open in the evening only, from Tuesday to Saturday at last check.

Plan your visit

Le Club Chasse et Pêche is an evening restaurant, ideal after a day exploring Old Montreal. Château Ramezay, a historic museum, is right next door, and Place Jacques-Cartier and the Old Port are within a few minutes on foot. In summer, the area is busy with street performers and terraces. Reservations are strongly advised, and the dim, intimate room makes it a natural choice for an anniversary or a proposal dinner.
