Chez Ernest brings a unique blend of curiosity and conviviality to St-Hubert Plaza. Inspired by Renaissance cabinets of curiosities, this café-bar-resto doubles as a showcase for local artisans—nearly everything in the space is for sale, adding an unexpected layer to the experience— and performers.
By day, Chez Ernest offers coffee alongside a menu curated with neighbouring gourmet grocer Conserva. Expect small plates, or build-your-own charcuterie platters with dips, cheeses, and cured meats. By night, Chez Ernest features everything from absinthe served with ornate fountains to 16 Quebec microbrews on tap. Programming includes swing nights, open-mics, and live music fostering an atmosphere for community.
