How many, exactly
The larger private room is booked from 12 guests; below that, the second room takes parties of 6 to 12. Up to thirty seated in the larger room, thirty-six with the doors open.
The larger room — three tables: 12, 10 and 8
Three tables, dressed apart or drawn together depending on the evening: twelve seats, ten seats, eight seats. Thirty guests in that room alone.
The second room — 6 to 12 seats
Adjoining, smaller, with windows of its own. It takes six to twelve people. It is the room for a party of ten that wants four walls, and for the business dinner that has nothing to say out loud.
Open or shut: the doors decide
Between them, a set of French doors. Open, the two rooms become one, in an L: thirty-six guests seated together. Shut, they are two independent rooms, each with its own party, its own service, its own conversation.
Thirty-six is the capacity and also the limit. Past that, it would stop being an evening in a house.
Both rooms are on the second floor, up a flight of stairs — there is no elevator, so the private rooms are not wheelchair accessible. The ground floor is: we can seat a group of up to sixteen there, at a table beside the cellar in the main dining room. If a guest can’t manage the stairs, tell us when you enquire and we’ll offer that table.
Finding the room that fits your group
Thirty people in December? That is the larger room entire — its three tables come to exactly thirty. The second room then stays free for drinks beforehand, or for a speech apart.
Twelve for a birthday? The table of twelve, or the second room all to yourselves.
As soon as your date is set, write to us: December evenings go one after another, and a booked room cannot be in two places.
Two parties at once
This is the thing we can do that few places can.
The French doors shut. The two rooms become independent. A business dinner of ten in the second room while a birthday of thirty runs in the larger one. Or a meeting first and dinner after, without moving anyone. Or two teams from the same company, a room each, brought together for dessert when the doors open again.
If your evening has two halves — the official part and the part that isn’t — the L was made for it.
Is it really private?
Yes, and here is exactly what that means.
These are not tables screened off in a corner of the dining room. They are two rooms, with their own walls, windows and doors. Service comes and goes; nobody else passes through.
One honest detail: if you take only one of the two rooms, the other may host another group the same evening, with the doors shut between you. You share no table, no service and no conversation. If you want both rooms to yourselves, say so when you write — it is settled in advance, not on the night.
What gets celebrated here
Office parties
December, a team of twenty to thirty-six, a seated dinner rather than a standing cocktail. The larger room takes the whole team; the second one takes the speeches, the draws, or the breathing space.
Birthdays
The big ones, the ones that come round once. The room lends itself to the speech nobody would dare make standing up in a full dining room.
Business dinners
Doors shut, service coming and going without cutting across the conversation. Three hours of talking without raising your voice.
Family evenings
Christenings, reunions, year-end gatherings, the meal that follows a ceremony.
Engagements and small weddings
Thirty-six people, tables of twelve, ten and eight, candlelight and the fire working below.
Openings and launches
Our walls are a gallery, rehung with the seasons. With the doors open, the L-shaped space lets a crowd circulate around the work on the walls.
What you eat
The private rooms eat what the dining room eats: the seasonal menu, cooked over embers and maple wood, and both tasting menus — Le Signature at $110 per person, Le Convivial at $230 for two. Nothing obliges the whole table to take the same thing.
For a group, a single menu chosen in advance simplifies everything and speeds up service. We work it out together; no set formula is imposed.
Québec game as the season brings it, full-flavoured cuts and dry-aged beef. The côte de bœuf to share, set down in the middle of the table of twelve, is still the best idea we have for people who know each other.
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, we serve all-you-can-eat bavette (flank steak) — bavette and sides, as much as you like, $60 per person. The formula is reserved for tables of eight guests or fewer: up to eight, it can work for your group on a Wednesday or a Thursday — beyond that, the kitchen does not serve it, and a single menu chosen in advance remains the better route.
Diets and allergies: tell us when you book and the kitchen adapts. A vegetarian option is available on request, provided you tell us in advance — no vegetarian dish is printed on the menu, but the garden, the greenhouse and our market farmers let us compose one.
Our wine list is not published online: the cellar is built from private imports bought in small lots, and it is presented at the table. Tell us what you are looking for and the bottles will be ready when you arrive.
See the full menu and the tasting menus →The piano
It is in the room, and it is not decorative.
If someone in your party plays, let them play. If you would like a musician for the evening, mention it when you write. A piano in a private room changes a birthday dinner far more reliably than any decoration.
Getting here, parking, getting home

We’re open Wednesday to Saturday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday — group requests follow the same calendar.
A group coming from Montréal usually leaves around 3:30 p.m. to arrive at 5:30. Tell us your arrival time and the service is built around it.
Our distinctions and the MICHELIN Guide selection →Frequently asked questions
How many people do the private rooms hold?
Up to thirty-six. They are two rooms joined by French doors, set in an L: tables of twelve, ten and eight in the larger one, six to twelve seats in the second.
I am organising an office party of thirty. Does it fit?
Yes, in the larger room entire — its three tables come to exactly thirty seats. The second room then stays free for drinks, a speech, or a second party.
We are twelve for a birthday.
Your choice: the table of twelve in the larger room, or the second room to yourselves. Tell us which you prefer.
Can you host two parties at the same time?
Yes. The French doors shut and the two rooms become independent — a business dinner on one side, a birthday on the other. Give us both needs when you write and we will confirm what is possible that evening.
Can we have both rooms to ourselves?
Yes, arranged when you make the request. Without that, the room you are not using may take another group.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Yes: the larger private room is booked from 12 guests. From 6 to 12, the second room is yours alone.
Is there a minimum spend?
Write to us. Terms depend on the evening, the season and the size of the party. You will get a clear answer, in writing, before you commit to anything.
Can we cancel?
Yes — free of charge, at any time, with no penalty. Just let us know by email or by phone.
Are the private rooms wheelchair accessible?
No: they are on the second floor, up a staircase, with no elevator. The ground floor is accessible, and we can seat a group of up to sixteen there at a table beside the cellar, in the main dining room. Tell us when you enquire.
Can the whole restaurant be bought out?
Write to us. The main dining room seats 48, with 30 more on the terrace in summer; every request is looked at on its own.
Which days can the rooms be booked?
Wednesday through Saturday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Do you have vegetarian options?
Yes, on request and arranged in advance. No vegetarian dish is printed on the menu, which is built on fire, game and full-flavoured meats. The kitchen composes one from the garden, the greenhouse and our market farmers, provided we are told when you book.
How do we book?
Through the request form on this page, by email at info@maisonboire.com, or by phone at 579 365-3232. Online booking is for tables in the main dining room; for a group, we would rather speak with you.
Write to us, or call
A group is not booked online. The platform books tables, not rooms — and it knows nothing about your date, your speech or your allergies. We reply within 48 hours; the phone is still the fastest: 579 365-3232.
or write to us: info@maisonboire.com
Cancellation is free at any time, with no penalty. If the date moves or the group falls through, an email or a call is enough: nothing is charged to you.
The minimum spend, on the other hand, depends on the evening, the season and the size of the party: write to us, and the answer comes in writing before you commit to anything.
For an ordinary table in the main dining room, online booking does the job: book a table (opens in a new window).
