The third floor of Montreal’s Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) has deepened in degrees of liveliness with the arrival of Pavillon, a new social club true to SAT's cultural ethos by offering a setting where food, creativity, music, and community come together.
Helmed by Chef Maxime Latapie (formerly of Helena and Portus 360), Pavillon offers a thoughtful menu that's all about simplicity and quality, emphasizing small plates and heartier options built on local products. As of Pavillon's launch, prices range from $6 to $20, keeping things accessible in today's inflationary times.
There's an emphasis on bold, clean flavours with thoughtful twists—like the sweet-tart pairing of burrata with mirabelle plum compote, or croquetas with prosciutto and parmesan. Meanwhile, other dishes like the ceviche with a dashi and mezcal infusion, or the beef tartare topped with homemade ketchup, speak to both tradition and slight experimentation.
