A summer at Fairmont Le Château Montebello: luxury, relaxation, and discovery
Outdoor barbecue with breathtaking views
Among the simple and exquisite pleasures of summer, barbecuing holds a special place. And here, it takes on a gourmet dimension. The Château offers an outdoor BBQ on its terrace overlooking the Ottawa River, in a breathtaking setting. The menu? A four-course feast, served à la carte at your table.
The experience begins with a fresh and flavorful starter, followed by a fish and shrimp dish, a generous grill station, and a decadent dessert to finish it all off. A friendly atmosphere, exceptional views, and carefully prepared dishes: everything you need for a festive and delicious moment.
Outdoor brunch: a tradition revisited
Sunday brunches are a well-established tradition... and at Château Montebello, they take on a whole new dimension. On July 20, an outdoor brunch will be held on the terrace, offering spectacular views 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 and 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
Want to relax in the sun with a cocktail in hand or take a dip in a sparkling pool? The Château has a magnificent outdoor pool, perfect for hot summer days. The Le 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 everyday life.
Bonfire parties
At dusk, when the air cools slightly, nothing beats a cozy campfire. Every evening, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Château's stables welcome visitors for a bonfire evening. A cozy atmosphere, dancing lights, and for those with a sweet tooth, s'mores available to order: the perfect way to end a busy day on a comforting note.
