History

The business was opened in February 2024 by chef-owner Robin Filteau Boucher and sommelier Karelle Voyer. The restaurant's name, the French word for umbrella, was chosen by Filteau Boucher based on his favourite song by Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Bélanger. [2] [3]

The restaurant primarily focuses on sharing plates and has a small menu, while the wine list often has a focus on offerings from small and lesser known estates. [3] It also offers guests the option of a three course set menu. [4]

Recognition

In 2025, the business received a 'Bib Gourmand' designation in Quebec's inaugural Michelin Guide. Per the guide, a Bib Gourmand recognition is awarded to restaurants who offer "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." Michelin highlighted the restaurant's French-inspired sharing plates, specifically singling out the egg mayonnaise with lobster. [5] [1] [6]

In addition to the Michelin Guide, other media have also commended the egg mayonnaise with lobster as the standout dish, including Elle Magazine and Le Devoir . [4] [3]

Parapluie was ranked #6 in Air Canada's annual list of 10 best new restaurants in the country for 2024. [7]

Writing for Montreal-based newspaper La Presse , Iris Gagnon-Paradis praised the restaurant's "short and very pretty" menu, highlighting egg mayonnaise with lobster and house-made fresh pasta, as well as the attentive service. She noted the restaurant’s emphasis on creativity, spontaneity, and well-executed, seasonal fare. [8]
