A restaurant on Sunnybrooke Boulevard in Dollard-des-Ormeaux was struck by fire early Friday morning at approximately 1:30 a.m.

Montreal Police (SPVM) arrived at the scene located near Kingsley Street while Montreal firefighters were combating the flames.

A perimeter was established as firefighters worked to control the blaze, which caused significant damage to the structure.

The incident occurred during non-operational hours. No injuries were reported.

According to early information obtained by authorities, at least one suspect was observed fleeing the location following the fire’s outbreak, prompting the transfer of the investigation to the SPVM’s arson section.

Technical investigators conducted evidence collection throughout the day to establish the precise circumstances surrounding the suspicious fire. Surveillance footage will be reviewed and any potential witnesses will be met.

No arrests have been made as of press time.
