Perché takes rooftop dining in Old Montréal and gives it a California glow-up. Sitting four floors above Place Jacques-Cartier at the William Gray Hotel, this terrace swaps cobblestone charm for an airy, aloe-lined escape where fresh flavours and crisp drinks take centre stage. The menu leans light and bright—poké bowls, duck and pork dumplings, and other shareable plates that keep the focus on fresh ingredients without overcomplicating things.
The drinks follow suit, with a globetrotting wine list, easygoing cocktails, and solid mocktail options. There’s no reservations after 4 p.m., so patience might be required, but the setting is worth the wait. Heated and shaded as needed, Perché stays comfortable even when Montréal’s weather can’t make up its mind.
