Le Richmond

Chic Italian Dining in the Heart of Griffintown

Le Richmond is a modern, upscale Italian restaurant located in the vibrant Griffintown neighborhood of Montréal. Set in a beautifully restored 19th-century building, this stylish spot blends Old World charm with contemporary flair. With its dramatic interiors, a sleek mezzanine, and a lively open kitchen, Le Richmond offers an elevated dining experience just a short distance from many of the city’s top concert venues.

The menu draws inspiration from Northern Italy, featuring regional pastas, wood-fired meats, and seasonal local ingredients. Whether you’re sipping a craft cocktail at the bar or enjoying a leisurely meal on the terrace, Le Richmond sets the tone for a memorable night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Le Richmond is a favorite for concertgoers thanks to its proximity to downtown venues and its bustling, high-energy vibe. The service is known to be efficient and accommodating, making it a great stop before a show. The restaurant also offers valet parking and is within walking distance of several music halls, which means less stress and more time to enjoy your evening.

While the food is elevated, the atmosphere is still relaxed enough for a pre-show gathering. If you're looking for an energizing spot to kick off your night, this place delivers.

What People Say
