A few weeks ago I went to have dinner with some friends at the Pommery ice restaurant in the brand new Snow Village in Montreal on Ile Sainte-Helene. The food was quite good but my butt was way cold even though I was wearing long underwear. I recommend thick snow pants if you want to check out the restaurant and have dinner. Be prepared to spend some cash because it’s not cheap, but it IS quite an experience though and I do recommend it.
It’s the first year they put this seasonal village together and it’s made completely of ice and snow. It includes a hotel, chapel, bar and restaurant all made out of ice and snow — way cool if you like the cold. The icy sculptural decor is a really nice touch and the overall combination of ice, snow and light is a wonderful sensory experience. Because I went with friends I couldn’t take as many pictures as I wanted but we did take a good look around and the village is stunning. I hope to go back before the village melts and take some more shots.
