Hoogan et Beaufort is a wood-fire, market-driven restaurant at 4095 Rue Molson in Montreal‘s Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, set inside the former Angus Shops railway workshop district. Led by chef Marc-André Jetté, it serves modern Quebec cuisine built around seasonal produce, no processed ingredients, and a deep wine list that reaches into older vintages. Diners come for the tasting menus, the industrial-chic room, and one of the city’s more ambitious cellars.
What to Expect at Hoogan et Beaufort
The kitchen cooks over wood fire and builds its menu around what arrives from regional producers, so dishes change with the weeks. The restaurant states plainly that it uses no processed products, and the cooking focuses on precise balances of flavour and texture. The room reflects its setting: the Angus Shops were once among Canada’s largest railway repair complexes, and the restaurant’s industrial bones give the dining room a high-ceilinged, open character that feels contemporary rather than rustic.
The printed menu is explicitly a guide rather than a promise, since it shifts with deliveries. A recent lunch tasting opened with Magdalen Islands scallop dressed in brown butter, lemon, and caviar, which gives a sense of the kitchen’s seafood-forward, refined register. Seasonal terrace seating is available in warmer months, and the restaurant is part of a family of venues that includes a butcher shop and a wine bar nearby.
- Lunch tasting menu: Offered Tuesday through Friday at midday, priced around $105 per person, with optional wine pairings at roughly +$65 or +$125.
- Evening menu and tasting menu: The dinner service is the full expression of the kitchen, with both a seasonal a la carte option and a multi-course dégustation.
- Wood-fire cooking: Open-flame technique is central to the kitchen’s identity and shapes the flavour of meats, vegetables, and seafood.
- Extensive wine list: A large carte des vins with older vintages, well suited to guests who want to pair bottles with a long meal.
- Boutique and gift cards: The restaurant sells gift cards and branded goods through its online shop, useful for Montreal food-lover gifts.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reserve ahead for dinner, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, through the restaurant’s online booking page or by phone. Parties of eight or more should use the group and privatization section of the official site. Lunch is the more accessible way to try the kitchen, with a shorter tasting format on weekdays. If you want a table the same evening, the restaurant invites calls at 514-903-1233.
The restaurant sits a short walk from the Angus Shops redevelopment and the Technopole Angus business area, and Parc Molson and the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood’s commercial streets are a brief drive or bus ride away. The same hospitality group operates a butcher shop and a wine bar, both listed on the restaurant’s website, which makes for an easy pairing if you want to extend the evening or buy provisions. Confirm step-free entry and washroom access with the restaurant when booking.
