Zoé Duval and Joshua Monroe-Blanchette are, by their own admission, impulsive people. In November, they were walking through their neighbourhood when they spotted a new commercial corridor opening up in Griffintown. By May, it was a café.
Café BRUT occupies a small space with big aspirations in the street-level covered passage of a mixed-use development on Murray Street, a corridor of bronze window frames, brick, and stone that reads more European than the glass-tower Griffintown most people picture.
The interior was designed in collaboration with Dimanche Design around the building's existing bones: raw concrete, a 16-foot marble counter that lights up, custom steel tables, and a warmer mid-century seating area anchored by a fuzzy brown carpet. There’s a Brutalist edge to it alongside warmth to tempt a stay.
