Place Carmin

740, rue William, Montréal

On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.

Created by Mélanie Blanchette and François Nadon, the duo behind Bouillon Bilk and Cadet, Place Carmin occupies Rue William's former Le Local space, with executive chef Émile Colette joining as a new partner.

The menu reworks the classic French brasserie: foie gras terrine, duck à l'orange, a house-specialty blood pudding tatin, maple crème brûlée, and a sea buckthorn Paris-Brest. The skylit, earth-toned dining room is among the addresses in the inaugural Michelin Guide Québec, spring 2025.
