Restaurant of the Week: Sabayon
📍 Address: 2800 Centre Street, Montréal, QC H3K 1J8
🌟 Ambiance:
Tucked away in Pointe-Saint-Charles, Sabayon is the highly anticipated new home of acclaimed pastry chef Patrice Demers. After closing the doors to his iconic patisserie in Little Burgundy, Demers has reemerged with a restaurant that balances quiet elegance with warm hospitality. The interior is minimalist yet inviting—think soft lighting, curved lines, and a tranquil palette that lets the food do the talking. The intimate 20-seat space feels more like a private salon than a conventional dining room, offering a rare and personal experience in the heart of the city.
🍽️ Menu Highlights:
Sabayon delivers a seasonal tasting menu that reflects Demers’ obsession with flavor balance and texture. While Patrice may be best known for desserts, his savory dishes show the same level of finesse, creativity, and restraint. The multi-course menu (currently around six courses) rotates frequently, but past highlights have included:
- Scallop, Rhubarb & Lovage – A bright and surprising spring starter with herbal freshness and ocean sweetness.
- Veal Sweetbreads with White Asparagus – Earthy and refined, celebrating Quebec terroir at its peak.
- Milk Chocolate, Buckwheat & Berries – A stunning dessert that blends crunch, creaminess, and seasonal fruit with signature Demers flair.
Every dish is plated with artistry, but it never feels fussy. The meal is cohesive from start to finish, with just enough surprise to keep you wide-eyed until the final spoonful.
🍷 Beverage Selection:
A short but thoughtful list of wines and non-alcoholic pairings accompanies the tasting menu. Expect organic and biodynamic labels, with an emphasis on freshness and food harmony.
⏰ Hours:
Wednesday to Saturday, dinner service only
Reservations required
💰 Price Range: $$$$
While Sabayon is undeniably a fine dining experience, it avoids pretension. What you get is an evening curated by one of Montreal’s finest chefs, now fully in his element.
Demers has always had a knack for creating joy through food—and at Sabayon, that joy is elevated, intimate, and unforgettable.
