On the Menu. Montreal: A Restaurant Story
from Nov 28, 2025 to Oct 18, 2026
McCord Stewart museum
Featuring a wealth of audiovisual testimonials, photographs, archives and objects displayed in an evocative setting, the exhibition highlights the evolution of Montreal restaurants, be they delis or fine dining establishments, and their crucial role in shaping the identity of both the city and province.
It also offers a voyage back in time: visitors will look back on iconic Montreal restaurants that have closed over the years and recall their own experiences of family celebrations, good times with friends, and romantic dates. The restaurants featured will evoke not only tastes, but shared memories.
