MONTREAL — RENOIR, the signature French restaurant at the prestigious Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile, has re-opened its doors, following a complete makeover. With newly designed areas, including an elegant sunroom and an intimate chef’s table, RENOIR invites you to re-discover the essence of re-defined dining in an inspiring setting for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week and its legendary Sunday brunch.
An institution of the Montreal epicurean scene for the last 22 years, RENOIR has long been revered for its fine French cuisine that infuses local farm-to-table ingredients with international flavours to tell the story of Montreal’s vibrant culture. True to its name, the restaurant prides itself on merging the visual and culinary arts, crafting each dish as a masterpiece that delights both the eye and the palate. Now, RENOIR boasts an enhanced menu and re-designed interior that harmonizes tradition and innovation from France and Quebec. Guests are invited to savour their meals in a beautiful sunroom awash in sunlight, in an intimate and sumptuous central room featuring a mirrored ceiling or at the unique chef’s table offering a front-row view of the kitchen, all reflecting Renoir’s unwavering commitment to elevating its culinary experience through a new, unique, and inviting space.
Led by executive chef Olivier Perret — Maître Cuisinier de France, ‘Ambassadeur de l’Érable,’ and Air France Canadian Signature Chef since 2023 — RENOIR continues to offer the refined French cuisine and Quebec flair for which it has long been celebrated, now with a modern twist. Chef Perret’s passion for locally grown, seasonal ingredients shapes his approach, creating a harmonious blend of French gastronomy and the authentic flavours of Quebec. The refreshed menu features beloved classics, including the Foie Gras Torchon with house-made brioche and the Salmon Gravlax with caviar, alongside new creations such as homemade cavatelli with smoked artichoke, truffle risotto with porcini mushrooms and a veal-shoulder gratin with morel mushrooms and local cheese.
