Resto-Bar Mario Tremblay

A beloved community restaurant since 1980
Mario Tremblay has many memories from his career with the Montreal Canadiens, but one of the most memorable is the purchase of his brewery on August 14, 1980. Together with his friend Denis Tremblay, he bought “Brasserie le Viking,” which was later renamed “Brasserie Mario Tremblay.” In 1986, Pierre Gaudreault, Mario’s brother-in-law, joined the venture.

In 1992, the establishment became the “Restaurant-Bar Mario Tremblay” with a modernized concept and a major renovation. In 1996, an expansion added an upstairs room, providing a multifunctional space for events and the region’s first “Cigar Room.” After Denis Tremblay’s death in 2000, Mario and Pierre continued together, carrying out two major renovations between 2002 and 2020.

Since 2021, a new era
In 2021, Sébastien Rodrigue took over the restaurant, renaming it “Chez Mario Tremblay.” Committed to preserving this Almatex institution, he has partnered with local producers (beer, fruits, vegetables, bread, cheeses, and meat) to offer an authentic experience: a warm welcome, delicious cuisine, fresh ingredients, impeccable service, and a carefully curated wine list.

Whether you’re looking for a quick meal, a “P’tit Mario” (a cold lager), a romantic dinner, or a meal with friends, the entire team welcomes you and thanks you for your trust.

We look forward to welcoming you,
Sébastien
