Hoogan et Beaufort, a renowned fine dining restaurant located at 4095 Rue Molson in Montreal’s Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, is getting ready to close for renovations, with plans to reopen later this year.
Established in 2015 by chef-owner Marc-André Jetté, the restaurant is celebrated for its inventive seasonal cuisine, emphasizing wood-fired cooking and locally sourced ingredients. The interior within the industrial Angus Shops features an open kitchen and a rustic-chic ambiance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. While the restaurant has left a lasting impression with its customers, the team has decided to temporarily close for renovations, starting May 12, with plans to reopen in Fall 2025, according to Silo57. These reservations are in preparation for the restaurant’s 10th anniversary. It’s unclear exactly what type of renovations will be made during this time.
While the temporary closure may disappoint frequent visitors, they should be relieved to know that the team will continue to serve lunches Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at its little sister, Annette Wine Bar, located across the street. On top of that, the team has planned a series of group events from June to September. In June, they kick off with Lobster & Aperol, where lobster meets Aperol to bring a holiday feel to happy hour under the office sun. July brings Pétanque & Champagne, combining the effervescence of champagne with the relaxed vibe of a pétanque game and an aperitif basket. August will feature Grill & Hops, with the chef bringing his BBQ to participants’ backyards for a delicious evening. Finally, September will conclude with Chanterelle & Pinot, where a 5-course menu centered around chanterelles is perfectly paired with Pinot wines.
Hoogan et Beaufort is known for its creative seasonal menu focused on wood-fired cooking and fresh, local ingredients. Dishes like octopus with ratte potatoes and homemade agnolotti pasta with cheese and preserved carrots are highlights, while desserts from pastry chef Nicolas Riendeau, such as lemon cream with buckwheat crackers and cranberry charlotte, are a sweet treat. The restaurant also offers an impressive wine list with a mix of old vintages, private imports, and carefully crafted mocktails for those who prefer something non-alcoholic. Customers can expect this same high-quality food and service at Hoogan et Beaufort when it reopens later this year.
