Le Cheval Blanc

Montréal


An icon of Montréal's brewery scene, Le Cheval Blanc has about 10 drafts on hand, all brewed in-house, as well as some Belgian options by the bottle. It's a lively, easygoing place with a friendly all-ages crowd, smiling bartenders and an outdoor patio in the summer.

Our favorites: the raspberry-tinged framboise, the easy-drinking blanche (a wheat beer) and the Ch'fal Dublin, an Irish-style red ale.
