Parapluie is a French restaurant in the La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood of Montreal, Canada.
History The business was opened in February 2024 by chef-owner Robin Filteau Boucher and sommelier Karelle Voyer. The restaurant's name, the French word for umbrella, was chosen by Filteau Boucher based on his favourite song by Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Bélanger.
The restaurant primarily focuses on sharing plates and has a small menu, while the wine list often has a focus on offerings from small and lesser known estates. It also offers guests the option of a three course set menu.
Recognition In 2025, the business received a 'Bib Gourmand' designation in Quebec's inaugural Michelin Guide. Per the guide, a Bib Gourmand recognition is awarded to restaurants who offer "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." Michelin highlighted the restaurant's French-inspired sharing plates, specifically singling out the egg mayonnaise with lobster.
In addition to the Michelin Guide, other media have also commended the egg mayonnaise with lobster as the standout dish, including Elle Magazine and Le Devoir.
Parapluie was ranked #6 in Air Canada's annual list of 10 best new restaurants in the country for 2024.
