PROGRAMMING

CUSTOM EVENTS

On the SAT Rooftop and at the Buvette, food and music come together in relaxed, festive settings. In the summer, the rooftop transforms into a pop-up urban open-air buvette, featuring daytime parties, DJ sets, and farmers’ markets. It’s a lively space where people come to eat, drink, and socialize until sunset.

POP-UP TERRACE

The SAT's third-floor terrace opens at the end of May and will close after the summer season on Saturday, September 26 (inclusive). Designed in a relaxed guinguette style, it welcomes guests without reservations, Tuesday to Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the warmer days with a fresh, shareable menu created by the chef Catherine Lépine-Lafrance, a curated wine list, and a selection of summer cocktails. A laid-back, convivial space to grab a drink, eat, and unwind at the end of the day.

DISCOVER THE MENU

SUNSAT

Three events. The very best of summer on a terrace during the day. SUNSAT is SAT’s take on a daytime party. SUNSAT is taking over the SAT Rooftop with a series of daytime parties conceived in collaboration with Living Room IDs, a Montreal-based curation platform created by local DJ and producer Laurence Matte. On the agenda: DJ sets, cocktails, good food, and an artisan market presented by Mon Amie Frankie.

Italian-style cocktail revolution

Looking for an Italian escape in the heart of Montreal? From September 23 to 26, make your way from bar to bar with Révolution Cocktail à l’italienne, an initiative by the Italian Trade Agency presented as part of the 2026 Festival Invasion Cocktail. At the Buvette, mixologist Patricia Jeanson has created a special menu of four cocktails showcasing two Italian products: Cocchi Vermouth di Torino and Vecchio Amaro del Capo. Designed especially for the Buvette, the menu puts a contemporary spin on the Italian aperitivo through the creative world of the SAT. The names of the cocktails also pay tribute to the SAT’s signature events, spaces and community.

THE MISSION

Unlike the traditional chef-owned restaurant model common in Montréal, the SAT's culinary space operates as part of a non-profit cultural institution—a rare concept in the city. This unique model extends the SAT's artistic and event programming through a diverse culinary offering, including chef pop-ups, interactive dining experiences, collaborative dinners, and DJ performances. All revenue generated is reinvested into the organization, directly supporting the SAT's artists, researchers, and cultural programming.
