Terrasse season is the reason Montrealers survive winter. From May to October, the city transforms. Restaurants push their tables onto sidewalks, rooftops open, and entire streets close to traffic for outdoor dining. The best terrasses fill up fast on sunny evenings, so arrive early or accept a wait. Some stay open into November with heaters and blankets, stretching the season as long as the weather allows.
