In Montreal, the intersection of Saint-Denis and Rachel has long been recognized as a dynamic and lively place (think: ultra-frequented) where, over the years, shops, cafés, bars and restaurants have established themselves. Since December 2010, the southeast corner has been occupied by the restaurant Le Hachoir, a bistro-style establishment, opened by the notable Jean-François Corriveau and Alain Dussault.
“At first, we had the idea of making luxury burgers,” says Alain. “Then, we decided we want to be the ones making our meats. We had liked the concept of a guy making his meats in a cold room, and making his burgers on a cooked-to-order basis.” The team liked the idea but felt it was incomplete, so they added tartares to the menu. Soon after, they came up with the name for their restaurant, which translates to “Chopper” in English.

Satisfaction goes right after Hachoir. I tried this restaurant on a saturday night and despite the over capacity the service was impeccable and the food excellent. I loved the salmon tartare and the long island tea made me gratefully tipsy.
