Our suggestions for a successful weekend as a gentleman in Montréal from May 8 to 11

This series will highlight our different categories and will change according to the different events taking place. We’ll start with the city of Montreal, and then expand to other regions as interest in the column grows. Without further ado, here are our suggestions for a successful weekend as a gentleman in Montréal from May 8 to 11

Style

With the Formula 1 Grand Prix and its big parties, like the Ritz Royale just around the corner, it’s high time you find yourself a tuxedo for the occasion (if you don’t already have one). We’ve got an article to help you with your shopping. Personally, I had excellent service with the Clusier team and it wasn’t the most expensive tuxedo. You want your own, not to rent one. It will always be in your closet for when you need it.

Restaurant

The new Canada’s 100 Best restaurant rankings have just been released, and several Montréal restaurants are featured. It’s probably a small preview of what’s in store for the Michelin Guide Québec on 15 May, even if it’s missing some very big players, like Manoir Hovey for example. Choose your restaurant from the following for a gentleman’s weekend in Montréal from 8 to 11 May 2025.

Dining

Two new Québec hot sauces with a Spanish twist were unveiled this week. Antipode is the new collaboration between La Pimenterie and the creator of harmonies, François Chartier. Two delicious products that will please every palate, even those who are not used to spicy sauces.

Culture

While we were telling you about Ballerina: A John Wick Story last week, now we’re going to tell you all about the documentary “Wick is Pain” will go online on May 9th. The narrative does not focus on the setbacks endured by Canadian actor Keanu Reeves, but rather on the challenges that the production team faced in transforming John Wick into a prosperous movie franchise.

So here are our suggestions for successful weekend as a gentleman in Montréal from May 8 to 11. We’ll be back next week with more suggestions!
