When the days get shorter, we all have the same instinct: to seek out a little warmth. In Laval, that warmth can be found on your plate. All it takes is an evening, a good meal, and a touch of ambiance to make you forget the gloom of November. So let’s plan a night out that feels like sunshine—an evening filled with laughter, toasts, and good food.
First stop: Edmond Bistro. Tucked away in a chic setting inspired by vintage English pubs, it’s the perfect spot for a business dinner that runs late or an impromptu date. The menu features straightforward bistro fare: fresh pasta rolled on-site, thin-crust pizzas with just the right amount of crunch, and Black Angus flank steak that’s tender to perfection. Regulars know that the real pleasure is sharing theEdmond Experience—a platter that brings together a little bit of everything, with a good glass of red wine in hand.
Here, we take our time. We talk loudly, we try everything, and suddenly, the gray outside seems far away.
Next, we're off to Vertigo, a restaurant and bar in Laval that makes you want to travel without leaving the city. The atmosphere is vibrant, almost as if the Mediterranean, the West Coast, and Asia had all come together around the same table. It’s colorful, generous, and always served with a smile.
The menu changes with the seasons, but the spirit remains the same: exploring flavors from around the world while keeping Quebec close to our hearts. With local beers, regional wines, and inventive cocktails, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation right away. The place is also popular for happy hour, when the lights dim and the music softly fills the air.
For couples who love to explore new flavors, Sésame is a place to keep in your list of favorites. In a cozy atmosphere, Asian cuisine is showcased in all its nuances: mild, spicy, sweet, and savory—but always well-balanced. You can opt for a light or hearty meal, vegetarian or not, without ever sacrificing on enjoyment.
Between a fragrant pad thai and perfectly grilled dumplings, conversation flows easily. The service is attentive, the decor soothing—perfect for those evenings when you want to unwind from the daily grind without overthinking things. Even a Tuesday becomes special when you share a meal that takes you on a culinary journey.
If you're in the mood for a California-style night out, head to ZIBO!. This laid-back restaurant-bar features West Coast-inspired cuisine: fresh salads, juicy grilled meats, well-seasoned fish, and gourmet pizzas. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and have a good laugh with friends in a no-fuss atmosphere.
The wine list is extensive, the service is fast, and the dessert is worth sticking around a little longer for. What we love about ZIBO! is that feeling of eternal summer: even when it’s 3 degrees outside, it feels like we’re at Venice Beach.
Pizzeria Sofia exudes an electric energy: music, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. Here, modern Italian cuisine is celebrated with a distinct twist. Chef François Laurin puts his own spin on classics like Sofia-style Mac & Cheese, and the result is as bold as it is comforting.
The cocktails are just as carefully crafted as the dishes, and every evening feels like a celebration. It’s the perfect spot for those who enjoy a meal with a lively rhythm, a great atmosphere, and a touch of urban dolce vita.
When the month turns gray, Laval has everything it takes to reignite the spark of lively evenings. Whether it’s sharing a pizza, trying a new dish, or sipping a cocktail that sparks conversation, every table offers its own little ray of sunshine. So, instead of staying home, treat yourself to an evening full of excitement, great food, and laughter.
