It all started with the Chelsea Pub. Originally constructed in 1875, the building has undergone several transformations over the years; today, it’s one of the municipality’s oldest heritage buildings and an anchor point of Old Chelsea Square. Take a seat on the beautiful patio and treat yourself to some tasty comfort food. Sip a local beer or a cocktail made with fresh ingredients and local brandy. Rent one of the rooms for private events such as weddings, family reunions, team meetings or birthdays.

La Terrasse du Square, the new place to gather this summer! You'll find a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a varied menu featuring Korean, Mexican and Vietnamese dishes, delicious mocktails and cocktails and irresistible soft-serve ice cream. And that's not all! Shows, twilight movie nights, free activities, a public market and much more await you! And don't forget the family playground, where you can organize friendly pétanque competitions. May the best player win!
