MONTREAL – Groupe CH, Quebec’s premier sports and entertainment organization, announced Friday a long-term renewal with Levy to remain its premium hospitality partner as part of a broader partnership at the Bell Centre. One of the busiest arenas in North America, the Bell Centre is home to the Montreal Canadiens and has the largest capacity of any NHL venue.
In a highly-competitive RFP process, Levy was selected from a total of six finalists. The renewal extends a 23-year partnership that has seen Levy expand its oversight at the Bell Centre to the majority of its premium spaces including four fine dining restaurants – Canti, La Mise au Jeu, Mythik, and the 9-4-10 Steakhouse – as well as suites, backstage and player catering, and the Air Canada Signature Club. For the 2025-26 season Levy- managed spaces will grow to include the addition of the new premium all-inclusive club La Voûte CIBC at the arena’s ice level, and Buvette Mythik as an expansion of the Mythik space that includes several signature menu items.
“In considering our next premium hospitality provider, we had the privilege to engage with a host of talented hospitality groups who all came with a variety of esteemed client lists and achievements that spoke to the quality of their services,” said France Margaret Bélanger, President, Groupe CH Sports and Entertainment. “Ultimately, in what was a highly-competitive field, we chose Levy due to the vision they put forward to the benefit of our venue and our clients – one that not only builds on our work together, but also positions the Bell Centre at the vanguard of sports facilities around the world.”
As part of the new arrangement, Levy will leverage insights from E15, its data intelligence team founded in 2014, to advise on trends and opportunities across the foodservice industry to innovate, develop and transform hospitality offerings at the Bell Centre.
“Not only are the Montreal Canadiens one of the NHL’s original franchises with a rich history, but the Bell Centre sits at the heart of this hockey city, literally and figuratively, so we’re exceptionally proud of this longstanding partnership with Groupe CH and the opportunity to continue elevating the hospitality experience,” said Andy Lansing, CEO of Levy. “With the newly renovated premium spaces, an exceptional culinary team and the enhanced support of our insights group, innovation has no bounds.”
