Parapluie Montreal

Parapluie is on Rue Beaubien O, a twenty-five-minute walk from the Jean-Talon Market. It is ranked number nine on the list of Canada’s 100 Best new restaurants. The kitchen produces French and contemporary creative cooking.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the menu separates Parapluie from the more rigid dining rooms near Mount Royal Park. While those nearby spots often lean on traditional interpretations, Parapluie relies on an aggressive, creative register. It is the better choice for diners who prefer modern culinary curiosity over the predictable plating found at the city's older, formal institutions.
