When Formula 1 roars into Montreal each year, there’s a palpable buzz as the city emerges from hibernation to celebrate and socialize. From polished brunches to stylish terraces, it’s the unofficial kick-off to summer, and Moët & Chandon is the ideal companion — very Glamada! Whether you’re mingling among the crowds or planning your own intimate gatherings, consider this your invitation to follow the bubbles and that unmistakeable “pop”.
Here’s where Montreal’s most discerning crowds will be gathering to raise a glass during race week (May 19 to 24):
At the heart of it all in the Golden Square Mile is the ever-glamorous Four Seasons Hotel Montreal, a cornerstone of the city’s luxury scene and a magnet for an impeccable international crowd. Throughout race week, the hotel comes alive with immersive Moët & Chandon activations. The highlight? The Overdrive Sunday Brunch at Marcus Restaurant (May 24) to toast to the race itself and spend the day on one of the city’s chicest rooftops with the House’s iconic cuvées in hand. It’s the kind of event that perfectly captures the weekend’s electric spirit.
Then there’s Old Montreal, arguably at its most enchanting during Fl weekend. For those who prefer their Champagne with a side of see-and-be-seen, Dorsia delivers. One of the city’s most sought-after dining and nightlife destinations, this Michelin-recommended hotspot draws the ‘it’ crowd with its vibrant dining room and Italian-French cuisine. During Fl week, Moët & Chandon flows through curated food pairings and menu integrations, each cuvée enhancing the experience.
Perched above it all, Hotel Nelligan offers a terrace experience that’s nothing short of iconic, long celebrated as one of Montréal’s best rooftops. A welcome glass of Moët & Chandon will be offered to hotel guests on Thursday, May 21 to kick off the weekend and to set the tone for a memorable gathering. Join the stylish 5 à 7 crowd to watch the sun dip beyond the shimmering St. Lawrence River, then order a second round and see where the night takes you.
