Maison BaultBerri

Inside the towering Empire boutique on Berri Street, Maison BaultBerri brings together restaurateur Phil Grisé and chef-creator Laurent Dagenais for a café that blends casual dining with sharp design. The space—about forty seats, warm lighting, and an easy downtown rhythm—was designed by Daniel Finkelstein of Finkel' and named as a nod to the former Archambault store that once stood here. The menu covers everything from croissant-déjeuners and bagel gravlax to soups, salads, and tartines, all made daily with local ingredients.
