While many Montreal restaurants are solid bets for dining with groups, some excel at hospitality for large numbers better than others, offering dedicated space and customized menus. Whether it’s for big gatherings with family, friends, or coworkers, the following spots can accommodate groups anywhere from as small as eight to well over 100.

Some restaurants in this guide feature private spaces that are notably secluded from main dining rooms, while others offer long tables located in the heat of service. Note that smaller restaurants are more willing to close to the public for a block of time to accommodate an event, and that restaurants will likely require a set menu for bigger bashes.
