Riverside sits in one of the odder and better settings in Saint-Henri: 5020 St-Ambroise, wedged along the Lachine Canal beside the old malting silos, in the shadow of the pink house perched on top. The format is essentially all terrasse, a sprawl of outdoor bars and lounge areas where cocktails, mocktails, and barbecue meet a steady soundtrack, and the whole cocktail list can be made with non-alcoholic spirits. Dogs are welcome, the bike path delivers you practically to the door, and the space doubles as an event venue that hosts everything up to weddings. When the temperature drops, the terrasse becomes Hiverside, a winter edition built around ice sculpture and seasonal cocktails.
