Temperatures in Montreal are going to be soaring over the next few days—particularly in urban areas.
How to beat the heat? It’s time to head to the coolest spot in town: Time Out Market Montréal.
1. Stay hydrated
With 6 bars at the Market (wine, beer, cocktails, mocktails, smoothies & sodas and the Milk Bar) you are always in excellent hands. Bonus? No bar-hopping required: Taste the best local microbrews or the work of the city’s greatest mixologists in one place thanks to cocktails inspired by Montréal’s best bars.
Don’t forget to try Tunnel Espresso’s iced coffees before hitting the Market's retro arcades.
2. Get scooped
If summer in Montréal had a flavour, it would be ice cream. And it doesn’t get any tastier than the Market’s artisanal gelato and sorbet. Cool off at the Milk Bar with swirls of sorbet or a milkshake inspired by the best chefs in the city under one roof.
Did you say toppings? Dipping a scoop (or three) in chocolate sauce—milk or dark chocolate—adding a little caramel or chocolate syrup, raspberry coulis, whipped cream or candy coating, is strongly recommended.
3. You’re never too cool for school
Learn how to prepare your favourite cocktails, master the art of grilling the perfect piece of meat or make your own poké bowl at the Market’s (air conditioned) cooking school Atelier & Saveurs. In addition to workshops and mixology classes, the Atelier also takes bookings for 5 à 7 wine tastings (think: your favourite friends (or colleagues), a sommelier, French wine and cheese pairings).
How else to beat the summer swelter? Get out your Montreal bucket list and put beaches, parks and hiking trails and ice cream somewhere at the top.
Take advantage of Montreal’s many refreshing pools across the city. Whether you’re grabbing a cocktail at one of the city’s best bars, or eating al fresco at one of the best rooftops in Montreal, make sure to take advantage of this taste of summer.
