In short: the best raclette restaurant in Montreal is still La Raclette, on rue Gilford in the Plateau, which has been melting cheese since 1985 and scrapes the half wheel straight onto your plate. It’s also the address for all-you-can-eat raclette: every Sunday, for a limited time, at $45 per person according to its website.

Raclette in Montreal: not a capital, but a capital of melted cheese

Let’s be honest: Montreal isn’t a capital. Not of Canada (that’s Ottawa), and not of Quebec (that’s Quebec City, which even shares its name with the province, so it’s hard to get wrong). Yet it makes it into our directory of capitals like the guest who arrives with three cheese wheels under his arm: nobody dares check the list. Here, winter lasts from November to April, the thermometer drops below -20 °C, and melted cheese is no longer a foodie’s whim. It’s survival gear.

The city has a real cheese culture: neighborhood cheese shops where you taste before you buy, and the “bring your own wine” tradition that lightens the bill. When it comes to raclette, the offering is shorter than in Paris: one institution, one bistro that keeps it on the menu all year and historic restaurants that bet on fondue. If you’re discovering the dish, our article what is raclette lays out the basics.

What to know before you go: several of these places only serve in the evening or close early in the week (La Raclette only opens Thursday to Sunday evenings, according to its website), and the cold season fills them up fast. Book as early as October, especially Thursday through Saturday. Plan a digestive walk: with the snow, it counts double.

1. La Raclette: the Plateau institution

On rue Gilford, at the corner of Christophe-Colomb, La Raclette has been melting cheese since 1985, which makes it the senior member of this selection. The website talks about European flavors, a three-season terrace and a seasonal menu where you choose between raclette, cheese fondue and pierrade. What we remember most are the all-you-can-eat raclette Sundays: cheese scraped from the half wheel and served on the plate, with cured meats, potatoes, vegetables, pickles and salad, or a vegetarian plate. Your table has two hours, which leaves time to reach that stage where you look at the last slice with respect and apprehension. Another plus: you bring your own wine. According to reviews, service can slow down on busy nights. Who is it for? Groups of friends, families and anyone who wants a real raclette without flying to Valais.

2. Le Bouchon par Bleu & Persillé: the raclette that comes from the cheese shop next door

At the Shops Angus, in the former Rosemont factories, Le Bouchon is the dining room of the Bleu & Persillé cheese shop, set up right next door. The concept appeals a lot to cheese fanatics like us: the raclette cheese travels only a few meters between the counter and the table. The restaurant draws its inspiration from Lyon’s bouchons and serves its classic Swiss raclette all year round, lunch and dinner, melted in front of you according to the website, with potatoes, bread and green salad. It’s one of the few places in Montreal where raclette doesn’t disappear from the menu in spring, excellent news for anyone with a January appetite in the middle of May. Also worth remembering: an all-you-can-eat deal for large groups, ideal for an office party. Who is it for? Curious cheese lovers, and colleagues who want a year-end party that flows.

3. L’Auberge Saint-Gabriel: a Swiss fondue within 1688 walls

No raclette here, but a fondue worth the detour. According to its menu, the Auberge Saint-Gabriel was built in 1688 by a French soldier and presents itself as the first inn in North America. Bought in 1987 by the Bolay family, it now serves “Marc Bolay’s Swiss fondue”, to share, two minimum, with a porcini version and a little glass of kirsch as an option. The rest of the menu plays the chic brasserie, with an aligot as a side, another cheese that stretches. What we remember: the stone setting, the history and the chance to end the evening at the Velvet bar, in the basement. Who is it for? Couples, visitors to Old Montreal and those who want to celebrate something with a caquelon rather than a cake.

4. Crêperie Chez Suzette: the simple fondue of Old Montreal

On rue Saint-Paul, right in Old Montreal, Chez Suzette is a crêperie that devotes an entire page of its menu to fondues. On the cheese side, two versions: the Swiss cheese fondue with white wine and kirsch, and a more unexpected variation with Tex-Mex spices, which would no doubt raise an eyebrow from a Fribourger. What we remember most is the “trio for 2”, a three-course menu that lets you string together cheese fondue, Chinese fondue and chocolate fondue. Three fondues in the same evening: it’s the caquelon triathlon, and there’s no medal at the finish line, only a nap. No raclette here, but a practical, unpretentious address for a first tourist fondue. Who is it for? Families, visitors to the Old Port and crêpe lovers who are still undecided.
