About Restaurant Gibby's
The entrance archway to Gibbys stands on what was once the south bank of the Little St. Pierre River near the original Huron settlement of Hochelaga. Visits to the site by the early explorers, Jacques Cartier in 1535, and Champlain in 1611, led to the first permanent settlement by de Maisonneuve in 1641.
The Little St. Pierre River was covered over in 1833 to allow the construction of St. Anne’s Market, now Place Youville. This building was later remodeled to serve as the Parliament buildings of the newly united Province of Canada in 1844. In 1849 an angry mob burned the Parliament to the ground in response to some unpopular legislation.
Gibbys Courtyard
Gibbys is located in the Youville Stables which is part of a series of buildings once belonging to the Sisters of Charity, (or Grey Nuns), founded by Marguerite d’Youville. Part of the original structure was built in 1694, and served as The Grey Nuns’ General Hospital, which cared for the sick and destitute. However, most of the building dates from 1765 to 1850.
Gibbys Gates
Youville Stables received its name from the horses’ stalls which were once located in the central courtyard. This part of the structure dates back to 1740 and was renovated in 1967, the first in a series of renovations in Old Montreal. The buildings now house the restaurant and private offices.
