Hôtel Nelligan in Old Montreal boasts Terrasse Nelligan, a spot with sweeping views of the Saint Lawrence River and the iconic Notre-Dame Basilica. Known for brunches filled with mimosas and upscale dinners, its revamps over the years have made it a place that balances sophistication with a laid-back vibe.

With dishes like tartares, seafood rolls, and burgers, Terrasse Nelligan delivers a menu that’s as fresh as the setting. The drinks may not always be worth writing home about when it comes those looking for prime mixology talents, but it’s so damn hard to match the unbeatable view here. This rooftop really is one of the city’s top spots to unwind.
