Les Soeurs Grises - Bistro-Brasserie

Set in a former convent in Old Montreal, this microbrewery leans into its irreverent name with a beer list that’s anything but ascetic. Les Soeurs Grises has been brewing on-site for over a decade, with nine house beers that run the gamut from classic to experimental, each paired with a food menu that’s more worldly than monastic. Think pork tacos, salmon tartare, ribs, burgers, and a quesadilla or two—all built to hold up next to a pint. The kitchen, helmed by Juan Pineda, doesn’t shy away from flavour, and neither does the room. The space is casual but polished, more contemporary bistro than brewpub, with just enough edge to keep things lively without tipping into gimmick. If you’re looking for a pint with a backstory—and a spot where history meets house ale—this one has the credentials.
