These 30 Delicious Tapas Dishes Are Served On Montreal’s Most Exquisite Terrace
One of our favorite things to do during the summer is enjoy food and cocktails on a stunning terrace that provides a gorgeous view of the city.
We know we’re not the only ones to feel this way, and a perfect spot to live it up to the fullest is Les Terrasses Bonsecours.
Enjoy the bistro’s quality dishes while sipping on a cold fruity sangria under the sun.
The concept of “tapas” is taking over because of how simple and relaxing it is to grab “a bite” in a laidback and pleasant setting. It allows you to taste just a little of multiple dishes, without having too much on your plate, leaving just enough room for the next one.
