Auberge Saint-Gabriel (Grenier de l’Auberge)

Most of us know the Auberge Saint-Gabriel as an upscale French restaurant in Montreal’s Old Port. Most, however, do not of Grenier, Auberge Saint-Gabriel‘s quaint and rustic-looking hall. Its aged cobblestone walls and wooden panels on the walls and ceilings give it an old charm and romantic allure, further accentuated by string lights and a set of vintage pianos. While the hall isn’t very big and is therefore only suitable for smaller scale and more intimate weddings, its unique decor and historic flair cannot be ignored. Also check out Auberge Saint-Gabriel‘s other halls, La Truteau and Salle Dulong, all of which provide a lovely setting for an intimate wedding with your closest friends and family.
