Restaurant La Grande Terrasse, Old Port Montreal
La Grande Terrasse is one of the popular restaurants to visit in Old Port Montreal. The exterior is warm and inviting, as are the menu and prices. I visited this restaurant over the weekend and was not disappointed. This gem is located at 321 Place Jacques-Cartier, Montreal, making it easy to find thanks to its iconic red exterior.
What truly impressed me were the breathtaking views of the Old Port. Enjoying a drink while taking in this scenery created the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon lunch. I must mention that our lunch was delicious, and everything we ordered tasted fantastic. If you're visiting Montreal or are a local in search of a hearty meal, La Grande Terrasse is conveniently located less than 10 minutes away from both Place d'Armes and Champ de Mars metro stations.
This is an excellent place for a quick lunch with friends, celebrating a birthday, or enjoying a lovely dinner on their outdoor patio. I tried several dishes from their menu, including the Quebecor pizza, fries, and the rosé sangria.
Rose Sangria $30
Pineapple juice, sprite, rose wine, and brown rum
The Rose sangria was enjoyable; the cost of this pitcher was $30, and it allowed us to have two drinks each. The drink had a sweet but light taste to it, which complemented our meal very well. I would recommend this sangria, as it was worth the money. Terrasse Jacques-Cartier also serves a Blance, Rouge, and Sangria a la Briere on their current menu.
Buffalo chicken wings with homemade fries
Let me start by talking about the fries. At $8 per basket, the cost was a little steep, but the product was good. The fries were golden, crispy, and perfectly cooked. They were a solid 8/10.
We ended up ordering 16 wings for $28. For three people, the portion was more than enough. Even though the wings were amazing, the cost was too high as there were not a lot of garnishings and sauce.
Quebecer Pizza
Pepperoni, bacon, and mushrooms
The Quebecer pizza was amazing. It was the best item we ordered. The cost for this menu item was $25. The size of it is between small and medium. The slices were not big, but it was enough to serve us two slices each.
I give Terrasse Jacques-Cartier a solid 7/10 for the food, service, and dining experience. My favorite dish was the Quebecer pizza. I have not had a pizza this good in a long time. The wings were nice and crispy, and the fries had a nice crisp. I am going to try them again so that I can explore more of their menu. Once more, the menu does look basic, but the food will surprise you.
Lastly, the prices are a tad high, but when you step foot in the Old Port, expect to pay a little more for items that can be found cheaper elsewhere. Visit La Grande Terrasse's official website for more details on their hours, menu, and pricing.
