After a summer of anticipation and a full renovation that stretched from May to October, Hoogan & Beaufort has reopened its doors on November 1st with renewed energy and a tasting menu that reminds Montrealers why this address remains one of the most respected culinary destinations in the country. Known for its inventive seasonal cuisine and its devotion to wood fired cooking, the restaurant has returned with a deeper sense of purpose, a sharper creative focus, and an even more impressive wine list.
Chef owner Marc-André Jetté has long been recognized for a culinary style defined by elegance, precision and an unwavering respect for ingredients. After more than twenty years in the kitchen, including acclaimed work in Quebec, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the United States, he brings to the reopened Hoogan & Beaufort a confidence and maturity that show in every course.
His philosophy remains the same. No processed products, a devotion to local producers, and a commitment to flavours that are balanced, pure and contemporary. What has evolved is the refinement of the tasting menu, which now feels even more tailored, more intuitive and more attuned to the season.
The industrial charm of the shops within the Technopôle Angus district provides a striking backdrop for this return. The dining room, refreshed during the renovation, highlights the open hearth that has always been the heart of Hoogan & Beaufort. Flames guide the structure of the menu, and the wood fired element brings texture, warmth and a quiet sense of ceremony to each plate. The kitchen has always been proud of its ability to build harmony between flavours and textures, and the new tasting experience reinforces this with confident pacing and thoughtful transitions between courses.
Part of the renewed success also comes from the team. Hoogan & Beaufort has always been anchored by a passionate staff that values creativity, precision and attentive service. The reopening has strengthened that foundation. The dining room team operates with clarity and grace, and the kitchen works with a cohesion that reflects the restaurant’s well defined values.
Four of these values shape every detail. Creativity, excellence, passion and the ability to listen. These principles guide the experience for regular reservations and also for the private events that the restaurant continues to host. Groups from eight to ninety guests can enjoy tailor made tasting menus designed collaboratively with the chef.
The wine list is another reason that Hoogan & Beaufort continues to stand out. With a new cellar that now holds close to five thousand bottles, the restaurant has created a space where the sommelier team can fully express its expertise. The selection presents a wide variety of regions, vintages and styles, along with older bottles that elevate the tasting menu. Every pairing feels intentional and the expanded cellar promises even more depth in the coming years.
Recognition has followed this dedication to quality. Hoogan & Beaufort has earned multiple distinctions, including a finalist position on the list of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants in 2024, a recommendation from the Michelin Guide in 2025 and the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. These honours reflect the consistency and vision that define the restaurant.
Now open seven days a week for lunch from Tuesday to Friday and for dinner every evening, Hoogan & Beaufort invites guests to rediscover a Montreal classic. A gift card is also available for those who wish to offer a memorable culinary experience to their loved ones. With renewed energy and the same inventive spirit, the restaurant begins its next decade with fire, intention and a commitment to excellence that feels stronger than ever.
