L’Ours Caverne Culinaire, a cozy, bring-your-own-wine bistro known for its inventive comfort cuisine and warm ambiance, is preparing to open its new location in Saint-Lambert at an address yet to be disclosed.
The company’s second location is expected to open sometime in September 2025, although an exact date has not been announced, according to a recent social media update from the company. Known for its laid-back yet elevated dining experience, L’Ours specializes in hearty dishes crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients, with a focus on originality and presentation. The Saint-Lambert expansion follows the continued success of the brand’s first location, which has gained a loyal following for its convivial atmosphere and attentive service.
The restaurant offers a diverse menu that features both indulgent and health-conscious options, ranging from smoked meats to vegetable-forward plates. Guests can expect thoughtfully composed entrees, such as escargot with pancetta and raclette, BBQ pork tacos, and both salmon and beef tartares. Signature mains include duck confit risotto, house-smoked ribs, carbonara tagliatelle, and artisanal pizzas such as “Du Fumoir” with smoked chicken and Monterey Jack. A selection of burgers, sausages, and sides complements the menu, with vegan and vegetarian substitutions available upon request.
L’Ours also places a strong emphasis on a relaxed, community-focused dining experience. The restaurant’s bring-your-own-wine model allows guests to personalize their meal while enjoying an approachable, creative take on Quebecois cuisine. Casual but refined, the Saint-Lambert location is expected to follow suit in offering a welcoming atmosphere ideal for groups, date nights, and family dinners. Dessert options include rotating seasonal verrines, Nutella-drizzled “peau d’ours,” and a classic crème brûlée. Guests can also enjoy non-alcoholic beverages, espresso drinks, and house-made sangria mixers designed to complement the bring-your-own-wine experience.
