About Le Cheval Blanc

Le Cheval Blanc is a pioneering brewpub on Ontario Street East in Montréal. It was one of the first places in the city to brew its own beer on site, and it still pours hoppy house beers today. The vintage room keeps the feel of an old Montréal tavern.

Le Cheval Blanc suits craft beer fans curious about the roots of Quebec's brewpub scene, and friends looking for a relaxed pint. It fits well into an evening in the Quartier Latin or the Village, before or after a show. Ask about the current house beers and try something on tap.
