Miracolo: The restaurant, cathedral, temple, and theatre of Montreal's Plateau

When it opened back in January 2024, that wet and cold month of sloche in Montreal, Miracolo lit up Saint-Laurent Boulevard like a fireplace.

And it did so by design.

Taking cues from its sibling restaurants of Majestique and Le Darling, the Italian restaurant appears warm and enveloping on the long, iconic strip of the Plateau, and crackling with activity.

A tightly quartered kitchen gives off flames as bartenders spin around one another to pour martinis and wine, and the 110-seat dining room split across two salles is full to bursting with a cross-section of the city eating shoulder to shoulder. Think cotton tops next to bohemians with tatted sleeves next to 5 à 7 celebrations.
