Chef Patrice Demers and sommelier Marie-Josée Beaudoin have made a spectacular return to Montreal’s dining scene with Sabayon, a project which refocuses their passions for dining experiences alongside tea time services and cooking classes—all in one intimate yet multifaceted space in Pointe-Saint-Charles.
Located in the ground-level space that once housed Hakim Chajar’s Miel, the restaurant was redesigned by Mathieu Leclerc from Studio Knowhow.
“After explaining the concept, I sent (Leclerc) twelve pictures of places I loved in the world—restaurants, pastry shops—just to give him an idea of what we loved,” says Demers, pointing to places like Atomix in New York City.
“A few weeks later, his proposal was even better than what we thought could be done with the place,” he adds.
