Maggie Oakes, Fine dining restaurant in Old Port, Montreal, Canada
Maggie Oakes is a restaurant in Old Montreal specializing in aged meat, house-cured charcuterie, and fresh vegetables sourced from Canadian farms. The dining room is set inside a heritage stone building, with exposed brick walls and wooden tables that give it a grounded, earthy feel.
The building that houses the restaurant dates to the colonial era, making it one of the older structures in the Old Montreal area. It was later restored for use as a dining space while keeping its original stonework and layout.
The menu lists the names of Canadian farms and regional producers next to each ingredient, so diners can trace what they eat back to its source. This practice shapes the whole experience, from charcuterie to side dishes.
The restaurant is in Old Montreal, a neighborhood that is easy to reach on foot from the city center or by metro. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially on evenings and weekends.
A living wall of plants grows inside the restaurant and supplies the kitchen with fresh herbs and shoots year-round, without any outside deliveries. The kitchen team harvests directly from it each day, which means some herbs go from wall to plate within hours.
