It was long overdue, but here it is: the Ultimate List of Shisha Places in Montreal, 2011 edition. All of these places have been compiled and put together by me, Saro, the self-proclaimed hookah king of Montreal. The 2009 list is here for your viewing pleasure.
My current favourite for the year? Café Hookah Lounge on St-Denis. You can catch me there every week or two enjoying a Green Apple + Mint combination, either with mint tea or a gin & tonic. The place is way too small, so make sure you go in early if you want to enjoy some hookah.
I haven’t been to every lounge on this list, so I welcome suggestions/corrections (including places I haven’t mentioned) to make this post up to date. In alphabetical order:
- Al-Dar
- Arabesque
- Café Al-Dar
- Café Boudoir (new)
- Café Gitana
- Café Hookah Lounge
- Café Le Notre
- Café Sphinx
- Chez Zaza
- Habibi Restaurant Café: I’ve been to this place once (first time). It was decent.
- Lordia (Laval)
- La Palma Resto-Café
- Les Mentheurs
- Les Nuits du Sahara
- Restaurant Adonisia (Laval)
- Rex Café
- Sequoia
- Sherazade
- Taouk du Québec (Longueuil)
- Toot Café
- Volluume (Laval)
The following places are no more:
- Kafein: I have no idea what happened, but they supposedly stopped serving shisha. If anyone has any news or clues, I would like to hear about it. My first guess is they weren’t licensed.
- Orienthé: mentioned in the comments below by Lauren, this place no longer offers shisha.
What is your favourite place hookah/shisha lounge in Montreal?

Thanks a lot :) btw unfortunately, orienthe doesnt offer shisha anymore!
Welcome! Ouch, that’s sad to hear. The place was pretty decent. I’ll update my list. Thank you for the news.
there’s also Sherazade on Crescent. It’s a pretty nice place
Amazing list! You might want to add Café Ramses located in Brossard. It’s a decent place, although buying food is mandatory to buy drinks and they only serve 2 coals per shisha.

Le Notre closed down:( they had great lemon-mint shisha though, so if ever reopen, I recommend!
