Backed by the Belle Gueule microbrewery, this massive terrasse just north of Parc Laurier is where things get loud, smoky, and deeply satisfying. Brewer Jan-Philippe Barbeau keeps over 20 taps flowing with experimental pours (think jaboticaba sours and dessert stouts), while chef Paul Toussaint brings the fire with a menu of jerk chicken, brisket sandwiches, grilled shrimp, and other beer-absorbing essentials. It’s barbecue with Caribbean soul and Québécois swagger, served beside a working brasserie and beneath the open sky. There’s always music, always a crowd, and enough room to stretch into the evening. Whether you’re chasing a summer hang or just want to swap the park bench for a proper seat and a pint, this is the Plateau’s play for real-deal biergarten energy.
