By Connected Montréal · Feb 26, 2026 · 05 MIN read
Montreal's boozy brunch scene is honestly still developing compared to NYC — but the city more than makes up for it with unique daytime options that blow standard brunch out of the water.
Quick Summary
- Jet boating on the St. Lawrence doubles as a hangover cure and a group activity.
- A private chef brunch at your residence eliminates morning logistics entirely.
- The ideal Saturday runs from jet boating at 10AM to supper club bottles by 7:30PM.
Tame Daytime Options
Go-Karting: Every bachelor party needs some competition. Great way to bet your way to free drinks. Jet Boating: Not for every group, but if you want a fast hangover cure, getting splashed with cold water on the St. Lawrence does the trick. Rooftop Drinking: In summer, head to the rooftop at William Grey hotel or Terrasse Place D'Armes.
Memorable Daytime Options
Schwartz's Catering: You're going to eat smoked meat anyway — skip the line and have it delivered to your house. Private Chef Brunch: Have a professional come to your residence and cook a massive brunch spread for the whole crew. It's the ultimate lazy morning recovery move.
