Le Magellan Bar

Montréal


A good spot to enjoy an evening of eclectic offerings, from jazz to chansons with a craft beer, cocktail or digestif in hand. The interior is sprinkled with maritime doodads (there’s an interesting gallery of antique maps upstairs), the front terrace is great for people-watching, while the back terrace is perfectly verdant in summer.

It’s joined to Le Pèlerin restaurant.
