| - As a born and raised Montrealer, I felt embarrassed that I had waited until yesterday to visit Terasse Magnetic located at the top of Hotel de La Montagne. I had heard so much about it, and I finally had the chance to go.
Walking in to the 4 start hotel entrance, with their stunning fountain, fancy people, and classy atmosphere takes you back for a second before you turn to your right and hop on the elevator to ride to the 20th floor where you'll find the terasse.
At first glance when you walk out, it looks as though you just walked into the changing rooms at your local public pool, no one was changing cause it's not actually a changing room, but with ugly painted blue walls, I was a little scared of what the rest of the place would look like.
Turn left right away, and you step out on to a wooden terasse with a big Gazebo in front of you (where we were lucky enough to get out table), and a large bar on your right. You pay for what you get obviously, but for the view and the pool (which was empty while we were there) , it's worth it.
You can see all of Montreal from up there and I find the view more appealing than the one from the top of Place Ville Marie at Club 737, because you have access to open views all the way around.
I would definitely suggest Terasse Magnetic if you're from out of town or are bringing people from out of town. Even if you're from right here in Montreal, it's a great place to relax and just have a drink.
