Riding the slow but sure rolling waves of arrivals in Mile-Ex like Taverne Atlantic and Bar Wills, La Marelle’s like a candlelit lifeboat on its stretch of Beaubien Ouest.
An unassuming exterior leads you right into a long wooden bar facing an open kitchen running the length of a main room—an inheritance from the space's previous tenant, Le Diplomate—and passage to a spacious casual dining room in the back, skylit by day and candlelit by night.
A new project from Maison Publique and Salle Climatisée alumni Brendan Lavery-Breier, chef Carlos Melgar, and Taylor D’Ottavi, La Marelle is what you'd call the modern definition of a 'Montreal restaurant' through and through.
...All three of our experiences show how the city can bring people together, most importantly through hospitality. I think that’s a beautiful facet of our story.
