Altitude Seafood and Grill – Lounge Restaurant at Le Casino de Mont-Tremblant in Canada is new to the Mont-Tremblant restaurant scene having opened in September 2010.

Eating at Crêperie Catherine in Mont-Tremblant, Canada in the heart of the Pedestrian Village is like having a delicious meal at the home of a good friend.
