Groupe Devimco, in collaboration with Groupe Grandio, has announced the expansion of their successful partnership with the opening of three new restaurants in the commercial core of the Maestria Condominiums project, located in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles in Montreal.
“This initiative is part of a continuity process, as the Grandio Group has already established successful franchises in the Solar Uniquartier project in Brossard,” said the company in a news release.
“At a time when the restaurant industry is facing some significant challenges, Devimco and Grandio are showing boldness and optimism by joining forces to launch new culinary destinations in downtown Montreal.
“This expansion also marks the Cochon Dingue’s first foray into the Montreal region. Known for its diversified menu from breakfast to dinner and warm atmosphere, Le Cochon Dingue will open its doors in the spring of 2025. The beloved chain among Quebec City residents, which currently operates six establishments in the Capitale-Nationale region, will be able to accommodate up to 250 customers.”
The company said IRU Izakaya will follow in June 2025, offering an authentic Japanese bistro experience, and Chez Lionel in September 2025, with its friendly atmosphere and French brasserie-style menu.
“In tune with urban transformation and densification, our partnership with Groupe Grandio demonstrates our commitment to creating mixed-use projects. The opening of these three restaurants within Maestria Condominiums is proof of our confidence in the future of the restaurant industry in Montreal and a celebration of our shared desire to offer exceptional culinary experiences.
