Aux Quartiers Belle Gueule is the brewpub, nano-brewery, and biergarten of Brasseurs RJ, located at 5579 avenue Christophe-Colomb, in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal. Just north of parc Laurier, it's one of the most festive spots in Montreal to enjoy a drink with friends.

A Biergarten on Plateau-Mont-Royal

The large biergarten-style terrace, lit up at night and filled with music, opened in 2022. The indoor pub accommodates about 90 people, and the terrace adds room for about thirty more. Upstairs, a multifunctional room with 120 seats is available for rent for a happy hour or a meeting. Note for the 2026 season: bicycles are not allowed on the terrace.

The Beers: Nano-Brewery and Belle Gueule

Brasseurs RJ, a Quebec microbrewery founded in 1988, serves its Belle Gueule range here, including the lager touted as the first microbrewed in Quebec. On-site, brewer David Meunier, who has worked at Dieu du Ciel!, crafts exclusive small-batch creations, from classic styles to hoppy or sour beers. At the launch, the kegs were managed by Jan-Philippe Barbeau. Beer enthusiasts will find about twenty draft beers available.

The Restaurant's Food

The menu was crafted by chef Paul Toussaint (formerly of Agrikol), with a barbecue focus: grilled shrimp, brisket sandwich, ribs, jerk chicken, and pizzas. The menu changes with the seasons.
