After three years, Bonheur d'Occasion is closing—but there's more to come

The Saint-Henri bistro that made Air Canada's top 10 best new restaurants in 2023 is serving its last plates on December 20, 2025.

Bonheur d'Occasion, the 45-seat spot on Notre-Dame West that's been quietly killing it since it opened in 2022, announced it's closing after three years. The team posted the news on Instagram, thanking guests and staff who turned a neighbourhood restaurant into something worth driving across the city for.

"Avec le temps, vous êtes devenus bien plus que des clients—vous avez fait partie de notre histoire," they wrote. Over time, you became more than customers—you became part of our story.
