Although Montreal has entered the COVID-19 red zone, we remain open. Maisons & Co. will continue to practice strict sanitary measures to ensure the safety of our guests.
As of today, all bars and restaurants are closed and will only be allowed to serve the public for take-out orders. To add, other public spaces such as cinemas, museums and libraries will be closed. However, that doesn’t mean that you need to stay home. There are still many sights to see and things to do in Montreal during this time! Here are our top 5 recommendations:
1 - PICNIC BY THE PORT IN OLD MONTREAL
So, yes. Restaurants have been ordered to close their dining rooms for the next 28 days, but they are still serving takeout! Grab a latte and a delicious pastry or breakfast sandwich and start your day with a picnic by the port.
Some of our favourite breakfast spots in Old Montreal include:

2 - BIXI AROUND THE CITY
Rent a BIXI for the day. All you need is a bike, and Montreal is your oyster! Start your ride in the neighbourhood and visit beautiful Old Montreal sights like Notre-Dame Basilica. Later, take your ride along the Lachine Canal or bike into the city and make your way to neighbourhoods such as Griffintown, Saint-Henri, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and more!

3 - BIKE OR HIKE AROUND MOUNT-ROYAL PARK
Enjoy the warm colours of the trees and fresh autumn air while exploring the many trails in Mount-Royal Park. Don’t forget to stop at the viewpoint where you will experience a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.

4 - TAKE A VIRTUAL COOKING CLASS
Ateliers & Saveurs is known in Montreal for offering a variety of cooking, baking and mixology classes. Normally we would suggest you visit the Old Montreal location, but given the circumstances, they are offering online classes! Our rooms are equipped with a full kitchen, and complimentary WiFi, so all you need to bring to the table is a smile!
5 - SHOP ON SAINT-CATHERINE STREET
Need to scratch that shopping itch? Walk down Sainte-Catherine, Downtown Montreal’s main shopping street. You won’t be disappointed!
