A Very Gatsby RaceWeek — Three Nights of Burlesque, Cabaret & Champagne

390 Rue Saint-Jacques, Montreal Capacity: 400

About Bord'Elle

Bord'Elle Boutique Bar and Eatery is one of JEGantic's signature Old Montreal venues, steps from Victoria Square. The concept gives 1920s prohibition-era glamour a modern twist, pairing European boutique-hotel sophistication with a high-energy nightlife room.

The design is built as a Gatsby-era fantasy: opulent textures, dramatic lighting, intimate dining areas, and theatrical performance sightlines. Gourmet cuisine, burlesque, aerial performances, and thematic flapper-style entertainment all shape the evening.

During race week, Bord'Elle traditionally runs multi-night programming with a different character each evening. Thursday is the sophisticated opening night, Friday is the crown jewel, Saturday carries qualifying energy, and Sunday can close the weekend with a late-night finale concept such as Habibi. Every night features live performances, a world-class kitchen, and some of the best cocktails in the city.

The venue has also earned international attention, with World's 100 Best Clubs nominations across 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

The Experience

Burlesque & Cabaret

Bord'Elle's signature entertainment includes world-class burlesque, aerial performers, and thematic flapper-style acts that build the night from supper-club glamour into full nightlife energy.

Gourmet Cuisine

The kitchen supports the full restaurant-to-nightclub format with polished supper-club dining, rich shared plates, and the kind of celebratory menu built for long race-week evenings.

Gatsby-Era Design

The room leans into lavish 1920s detail: dim lighting, opulent finishes, European boutique-hotel cues, and an immersive stage-ready layout.
