After closing the Place Viger hotel in 1935, Canadian Pacific didn’t own a hotel in its headquarters city until 1967, when it opened the Chateau Champlain in time for the Montreal Expo. This October 1966 dining car menu advertises the upcoming opening of the hotel in January, 1967. We’ve seen this menu before in a 1967 edition.

The chateau was designed partly by Roger D’Astous, who had interned for Frank Lloyd Wright for one year, and the arched windows of the hotel were supposedly inspired by Wright’s work. Frankly, I don’t think Wright would ever have designed such a brutalist building; he didn’t like skyscrapers much anyway and the tallest building built to his design is much more attractive, being asymmetrical so that it “looks different from every angle.” The chateau’s arched windows have led some to call it “the cheese grater,” but it does have the virtue of still looking modern today, more than 50 years after it opened.

The menu is arranged like a table d’hôte, but is a la carte, with English on the left and French on the right. Entrées include poached salmon, calf’s liver, duck, prime rib, and sirloin steak, the latter of which went for $4.95 with bread (US$22.50 today). Adding an hors-d’oeuvre, soup, potato, vegetable, dessert, and beverage could add another $2.50 or more to the price. Multiply prices by 5.5 to get today’s U.S. dollars.

The menu doesn’t say what train it was used on, but “QUE” in the date line suggests it may have been one of the Montreal-Quebec City trains. Trains 155-156, the Viger, left Montreal and Quebec City at 6 pm and arrived at the other at around 10 pm, so would have been perfectly timed to enjoy this meal. The name of the train, however, should have been changed to the Champlain as the mid-day version of the train (which no doubt used the same equipment) was known as the Frontenac. Instead, it continued to carry the name Viger as late as 1970, the most recent CP timetable in my collection.
