Maggie Oakes

Maggie Oakes is a restaurant named after Margaret Oakes, the wife of Edward William Gray, a former sheriff of Montreal. The couple lived not far from Place Jacques-Cartier, in one of the stone houses typical of the ​​Old Montreal neighbourhood. Launched by the Antonopoulos Group, the aim behind the Maggie Oakes project was an ambitious one: to make the place one of the first restaurants in Place Jacques-Cartier to appeal more to locals than to tourists.

"We want people to celebrate the food for its ingredients," says Derek Bocking, a Montreal chef who comes to the restaurant by way of Ma Grosse Truie Chérie and Top Chef Canada. Maggie Oakes is located in the William Gray Hotel and celebrates Montreal cuisine in a chic and authentic way.
