A summer at the Fairmont Le Château Montebello: luxury, relaxation and discovery

Open-air barbecue with breathtaking views

Among the simple and exquisite pleasures of summer, barbecuing has a special place. And here, it takes on a gastronomic allure. Le Château offers an open-air BBQ on its terrace overlooking the Ottawa River, in a breathtaking setting. What's on the menu? A four-course feast, served to your table.

The experience begins with a fresh, tasty starter, followed by a fish and shrimp dish, a generous grill station and a decadent dessert to round things off. A friendly atmosphere, an exceptional panorama and carefully prepared dishes: everything you need for a festive, gourmet experience.

Outdoor brunch: a revisited tradition

Sunday brunches are a time-honored tradition... and at Château Montebello, they take on a whole new dimension. On July 20, an outdoor brunch will be held on the terrace, again with a spectacular view of the river.

Two services are offered: at 11 a.m. for early risers, and at 1:30 p.m. for those who prefer to take their time. On the menu: refined dishes, sweet treats, a chic, relaxed atmosphere... in short, an ideal way to enjoy the weekend in style. Reservations required at 819 423-3021 or via OpenTable.

Relaxing by the pool

Fancy basking in the sun, cocktail in hand, or taking a dip in the sparkling pool? Le Château boasts a magnificent outdoor pool, perfect for those hot summer days. Le Riverain terrace, adjacent to the pool, offers light dishes and refreshing drinks for a gourmet break between swims. A perfect setting to unwind from the daily grind.

Evenings around the bonfire

At dusk, when the air cools slightly, there's nothing like a good campfire. Every evening, from 4pm to 9pm, the Château stable site welcomes visitors for a bonfire evening. A cosy atmosphere, dancing lights, and for those with a sweet tooth, S'mores available to order: the ideal way to end a busy day on a comforting note.
