Among the simple yet exquisite pleasures of summer, barbecuing holds a special place. And here, it takes on a gourmet flair. The Château offers an outdoor barbecue on its terrace overlooking the Ottawa River, in a breathtaking setting. The menu? A four-course feast, served all-you-can-eat right at your table.
The dining experience begins with a fresh and flavorful appetizer, followed by a dish of fish and shrimp, a generous grill station, and a decadent dessert to round out the meal. A warm and welcoming atmosphere, an exceptional view, and carefully prepared dishes: everything comes together for a festive and utterly indulgent dining experience.
Sunday brunches are a long-standing tradition… and at Château Montebello, they take on a whole new dimension. On July 20, an outdoor brunch will be held on the terrace, with the same spectacular view of the river.
Two seatings are available: 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, and a chic yet relaxed atmosphere… in short, the perfect way to enjoy the weekend in style. Reservations are required at 819 423-3021 or via OpenTable.
Want to lounge in the sun with a cocktail in hand, or take a dip in a sparkling pool? The Château features a magnificent outdoor pool, perfect for hot summer days. The Riverain terrace, adjacent to the pool, offers light meals and refreshing drinks for a gourmet break between swims. It’s the perfect setting to unwind from the daily grind.
As night falls and the air cools slightly, nothing beats a good campfire. Every evening, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the Château’s stable grounds welcome visitors for a bonfire evening. A cozy atmosphere, dancing flames, and—for those with a sweet tooth—S’mores available upon request: the perfect way to end a busy day on a comforting note.
