On Bernard Street, Le Nouveau Palais has remained a Mile End staple for over 50 years, cherished for its welcoming, no-frills atmosphere. Originally opened as “The Palace” in 1950, this classic diner has evolved over the years, now offering comfort food with a refined twist. When current owners Jacques Séguin and Mary-Martha Campbell took over in 2010, they honoured the space’s history, retaining its charm while restoring its retro decor.
Chef Gita Seaton’s Palace Burger—a well-seasoned, juicy creation—has gained legendary status. Alongside the burger, favourites like creamy mac and cheese and matzo ball soup make Le Nouveau Palais a timeless go-to where Montrealers feel at home.
