“Friends had recommended/demanded I go to Au Pied de Cochon when I visited Montréal and they were not wrong - this was just a fabulous night. Could not fault it on anything - food, wine, service, atmosphere or price. I had excellent veal sweetbreads, snow crab mapo tofu & the devastating Pouding chômeur as well - totally full but so worth it.“
“Really nice experience overall. The place was cozy and welcoming, with a really intimate ambiance. The menu was five or six appetizer plates, and five or six main plates. Seeing other photos of the menu I guess they rotate the plate quite often. All the options were really appealing, and we are really happy with what we ordered.The price is expensive, but for a different restaurant experience it was nice. We really enjoyed it.Vegetarian options: There were no vegetarian options“
“This place is the discovery to be made in the Hochelaga sector. The menu is very sophisticated, the flavors are complex and subtle. The service is extraordinary. The number of servers per person is just ideal so that they have time to talk to us about what is on our plates. The menu changes at a constant rate throughout the seasons. The decor is warm and the acoustics are pleasant. It's a little expensive but worth it if you like to explore. And now we can start or end the evening at the Copilote clandestine bar which is located right next door and is operated by the same owner.“
“We celebrated a trio of birthdays while we were visiting Montreal. Nolan is super cool vibes and cozy. We let our waiter who I believe is one of the owners curate a menu for our group of 6 at a price point that we set. Felt like we had a great variety of food and good portions and they were able to accommodate some items for my dietary preferences. The food was really good but what was the best was the service. The workers were warm and so friendly and we stayed many hours enjoying the vibes. Highly recommend!“
“Loved everything about Mastard. The cocktails were phenomenal, I had the colada which was perfectly balanced and delicious. My husband had their green, herb drink Which was also absolutely delicious, very fresh. We started with an amuse bouche which was delicious. We added the wine pairings but just one since there was 12 oz of wine total (3 per course) and we wanted to have a cocktail as well without getting completely drunk. Splitting the pairing was the perfect amount and the wines were delicious - white which I normally don’t prefer but perfectly paired.Everything was absolutely beautiful, well balanced and had exceptional flavor. I enjoyed every bite - I’ve dined at a lot of Montreal restaurants but this one took the cake. While it’s expensive, it’s completely worth it. The flavor, service, atmosphere- all wonderful. And the best part for me? You leave satisfied and not still hungry. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely experience!Dietary restrictions: They were excellent at accommodating my gluten and corn allergy - I was able to enjoy all the dishes without much modification to the dishes I could see.“
“One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Montreal! Every dish was delicious, and I really recommend the fennel salad and lemon yuzu ganache. The service was excellent, and the price was surprisingly not too high considering the restaurant’s high quality. I definitely hope to come back here again!“
“The food is art and tastes AMAZING! We let the chef choose for us, and every single dish that was served was a 10 out of 10. The cocktails were great too ... and the ambiance ... si magnifique! Can't wait to return on our next trip to Montreal.“
“Quelle soirée fabuleuse! Tous les pays sont savoureux, fins, délicieux et totalement improbables! Tous ces mélanges d'ingrédients qui semblent ne rien avoir à faire ensemble mais qui font fondre de bonheur les papilles gustatives, c'est incroyable! De plus, l'équipe est magnifique, généreuse et on sent leur bonheur d'être là. Vraiment, une expérience parfaite du début à la fin. J'ai adoré! Merci à tous les membres de l'équipe pour cette soirée qui restera gravée longtemps dans notre mémoire.“
“Good service- not great. Had to request more water and another glass of wine after waiting over 30 minutes. We were seated at the bar and it was a fairly busy night but often staff were available and and chatting. Food was very good but not particularly inventive. This may sound picky but the polenta was floury- not creamy or buttery or cheesy . A small detail but noticeable.“
“100% satisfaits de notre souper avant d'aller à un spectacle à la Place des Arts. Conseils judicieux de notre serveuse. Portions généreuses et nourrissantes. Plats savoureux. Service rapide et chaleureux. Merci à notre serveuse Isabelle pour son sourire radieux!“
“First experience at Vin Papillon. First of all, the place is small, the tables are close to each other, that surprised me a little! The service, although immaculate, was however very quick at the start of the meal, perhaps a little too much. Afterwards, it adjusted, it was less rushed and more pleasant!However, the quality of the dishes was up to par. It's excellent. It's creative, delicious! The ham is a must, as is the dessert, carrot cake ice cream sandwich.Excellent choice of wine. All quite affordable! 7 shared dishes, 2 glasses of wine, dessert and coffee for $100.It's wonderfull ! A 5 star without a doubt!!!“
“Went here last night with my wife, and 10 year old daughter. Great location, wonderful and friendly staff. We had raw oysters, lobster fettuccine, risotto, bone marrow, a couple drinks and dessert. Was great food, and experience. We would definitely return next time we are in town.“
“Classic dinner vibes, got the pancakes after seeing people raving about them and was surprised when I saw they had cottage cheese in them but they did not disappoint. Perfect pairing, absolutely delicious and will 100% be going back to try the brunch“
“I had an incredible 3-hour experience with their 7-course tasting menu! My favorites were the beef steak, quail, and two desserts. The beef and quail were exceptionally tender, and the accompanying sauces were bursting with flavor. Both dishes had a divine aroma when they arrived. Even though I’m not usually a fan of sweet dishes, I thoroughly enjoyed their desserts. They struck a perfect balance, not overly sweet, and the sorbet with sponge cake combination was delightful.The meal began with a brown butter mousse amuse-bouche, followed by the sea urchin as the first course. While the brown butter mousse was delicious, the sea urchin lacked a bit of its distinctive flavor for my taste. Unfortunately, the complimentary bread was served cold and didn’t make much of an impression compared to the other outstanding dishes.The service was fantastic. They efficiently cleaned our table, and water and wine refills were prompt. However, I found the ambiance to be a bit noisy compared to Europea, where I had dined previously. Overall, it was a memorable night at this restaurant.“
“Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table and were able to see all the food being prepared and ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste and they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious and made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.“
“Wow what a culinary experience!And what impeccable service! Everything was perfect ! Congratulations to the entire Pastel team!Do you want to live an extraordinary culinary experience?!I suggest you reserve your place quickly within the next 2 weeks.“
“Je vous recommande ce restos de quartier..Bouffe trad Quebecoise cuisinée style maison..De plus, le proprios est très sympathique et surtout passionné par l'art culinaire. Si vous êtes perdu dans le plateau et que la fringalle vous pogne..vous savez où aller cogner..“
“I visited this coffee shop four times during a week stay in old Montreal. The coffee (I got flat whites) was consistently very good. The service was always friendly. They serve oat milk as a default (though regular milk is also an option) at no extra charge. I very much appreciate their effort in helping us all shift towards more sustainable choices by making them both affordable and delicious. Good looking pastries too!Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian savory scones and one of two sandwich options is vegetarian.“
“Super fun local bar with reasonable prices and a great selection of pub eats and drinks. We felt very welcome here! Tell Dylan (Cosmo Goddess) and her delightful compadres we say "hi!" Oh - and buy some of Nick's sauces - yum! ~Kathy and Scott from NC.“
“Vraiment une belle place pour déguster ! Excellent service et la personne qui nous a service connaît bien les sortes et ces subtilités!! Étions arrivé pour dégustation de 4 verres et avons terminés par plusieurs belles découvertes. !! On y reviendra c'est certain! Même une stout était vraiment bonne et ce n'est pas dans nos goûts habituellement !“
“I love this place. I’ve been several times and I’m only ever disappointed by their proclivity for natural wines. Otherwise it’s an easy can’t miss spot. The menu is constantly updated but there’s always a few staples that are worth a shot. I recommend the gnocchi and the oysters are always tops too.“

“I’ve tried many of the dishes and each time I am over the moon! You can feel the love in every bite. The atmosphere is cozy and the playlist is always perfect to set the vibe. The server Alejandro is absolutely wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!“
“An extraordinary culinary experience. We ate so well, I recommend it and I will return there with friends in the coming weeks for sure. The service was fast and impeccable. We loved the warm atmosphere and the natural decoration. My star of the day, the onion soup. Thanks again.“
“The food is delicious, well presented, and original.The chef tasting menu is totally worth it and can be tailored to your needs (ex. no meat).The service is excellent!A great place for sharing a meal in good company.Dietary restrictions: We had the tasting menu without meat.“
“This creamery offers unforgettable frozen desserts. Their flavors are each more delicious than the last and are created with exceptional know-how. Whether you are looking for traditional ice cream or a vegan option, this creamery offers a wide choice of delicious flavors. Don't miss the opportunity to discover this Montreal institution!“
“Exceptional place and gastronomy! What great times we had! We also had the privilege of having Charles-Antoine Crête for a few minutes at our table to mark our mother's 79th birthday!!! Everything was perfect !Parking: On St-Hubert Street or in the 2 public parking lots on St-André Street“
“This place offers a fantastic environment for larger groups, with music and ambiance that are engaging without being overly loud. They're wonderfully accommodating and kid-friendly. Its central location is a plus, surrounded by ample free parking, although finding a spot might require a bit more effort on weekends. The food is exceptional; I tried the Gucci Burger, which was cooked perfectly and delicious. The staff is very friendly. I'll definitely consider it again, especially for outings with larger groups.Parking: During the weekend, one may find a spot a bit further.“
“I can't say enough good things about Brasserie Bernard! The food never disappoints, the ambiance is "chaleureux" and the service always attentive, friendly and professional. It is one of our favorite restaurants in Montréal and there is zero pretension!“
“Wow! What a great discovery! Everything is perfect, the decor, the atmosphere, the attentive staff and what can we say about the food! Simply delicious! The cod and scallops are perfect! I recommend it without hesitation, you will not be disappointed.“
“This place has a very welcoming atmosphere, the service was very good, polite and fast. The menu has very decent options for different palates so nobody can feel left out. My food was just mouth watering. Everyone I was with cleaned off their plates. The owner is a top class gentlemen. I think this restaurant is an absolute gem, perfect for date night or a get together with friends. My only regret is that I haven’t experienced the terrace yet.Parking: Can be difficult finding parking but well worth it“
“Petit frère du célèbre Joe Beef, ce restaurant est un incontournable de la table montréalaise et du quartier de la Petite Bourgogne, qui regorge de plusieurs belles adresses gourmandes ( Joe Beef, le Vin Papillon, Patrice Pâtissier...). Les plats sont réconfortants et très généreux en goût et en taille.Cuisine : ****Ambiance : ***Prix : ****Service : ****+ : la terrasse dans la cour arrière - on se croirait dans un restaurant de fruits de mer à Cape CodSuggestions :- spaghetti au homard;- steak Liverpool mais demandez la cuisson saignant/medium- pour une occasion ou un souper entre gourmands“
“Perfect & walking distance to everything, including Bell Centre where we enjoyed a fantastic show. Exceptional hospitality from Mr. St-Onge & staff at Marriott Chateau Champlain made our stay unforgettable. End of Winter view in pic.“
“When you enter Le Lundi, you feel like you're going to eat with a friend in a Montreal apartment. The decor is sober but the atmosphere warm, with wood, plants and windows which let in all the light. Behind the seemingly simple dishes hide a thought process, and a desire to highlight Quebec products, without getting lost in too much mixture of ingredients. It's good and the staff is always very welcoming.“
“Clearly the place to go for brunch on the weekend at a bargain price without having to make a line-up! The breakfast options are still limited to eggs, omelettes, pancakes and French toast, but it does it very well for those who cannot afford a brunch at $30-40 per person :-/ The service was impeccable and the retro atmosphere of the restaurant is absolutely perfect :-)“

“Meilleur brunch de Montréal ! Exceptionnel, j’ai pris l’assiette du Caribou et une assiette sucrée (gaufre, brioche perdue…) tout est local et fait maison. La cuisine a du goût, des saveurs, une quantité très généreuse. Le service est rapide et parfait. Jamais mangé un brunch aussi bon de ma vie ! Merci Caribou Gourmand pour ce moment parfait.“
“This place is absolutely adorable and quite busy most of the time. There are numerous sweets and snacks available for purchase inside. We tried the red velvet cupcake, some dark chocolate, and a flat white. I would say it is slightly expensive for the portion size you are getting, but it was still delicious. They do have their own coffee, which was not bad! They also accommodated vegan dietary restrictions in some of their sweets and with their hot chocolate, which was very kind.Vegetarian options: They had some cookies, and hot chocolate they were able to make vegan. And many cupcakes that were vegetarian.“
“Possibly the best experience I've had in a café and God knows I've visited cafés in Montreal and around the world. Rachel and Alexandre were lovely and very attentive, they provide a customer experience that exceeds expectations. In addition, the menu offered is delicious and truly comprehensive for a café open at the end of the day, offering bistro-style French gastronomy. We all loved the soup of the day and the fresh bread offered on the side. A perfect place for snack or late night munchies. The desserts are to die for. Succulent is an understatement. I recommend and I will definitely return soon!“
“Delicious on a whole new level!! ?Appetizer: stripped bass crudo and bread (focaccia with wild stripped bass on a bed of kohlrabi crostone). As a foodie, the crudo was unreal (similar to ceviche). For main, I had the pork chops, quite filling, quite fatty I'm taste and generous proportions.The St Rita drink was perfect cocktail for a sweet ending.Thank you Xavier for excellent service.Vegetarian options: AvailableParking: A 5-minute walk from the closest subway stop (Villa Maria)“
“We reserved for a big group in the back room. Lots of good drinks, lots of food from the set family style menu and we loved having a space for ourselves that still felt connected to the restaurant. Would definitely reserve for a big group again. Fernando was helpful through the whole process.“
“De loin ma place préférée pour passer une belle soirée, avec une belle collection de jeux, et de la bonne bouffe ! Le staff est très aimable et aidant pour conseiller et apprendre de nouveau jeux ! J'ai vraiment hâte que vous puissiez rouvrir et je vous supporte dans cette difficile situation ! On a besoin de vous ♥️“
“Best diner I’ve been to in Montreal! The burgers are just amazing and the fries are fried just right! They are friendly and the portions are incredibly generous. I’ve just had the burgers but I’m trying every single dish. Can’t recommend enough!“
“Équipe EXTRAORDINAIRE ! Service impeccable et nourriture excellente. Je suis accueillie avec chaleur et joie depuis j’ai déménagé dans le quartier en juillet. JF, Mathieu, Manu, Gab, Isaac, Kevin, Pénélope, et tous les autres sont des beaux êtres humains! ❤️“

“I loved. The atmosphere and the staff are incredible. The food is very good and what about the drinks? I'm very picky about cocktails. It's extremely rare that I say "wow" and here... it happened twice. An excellent discovery and I can't wait to go back.“
“Best breakfast poutine that I have ever had. I’m not exaggerating. I’m from out of town and stumbled upon this place with friends back in 2021. We all tried the breakfast poutine and fell in love. I haven’t found a better one since. Until January of 2024. I went back to this restaurant again while in town and they improved the poutine by adding salmon. What a blessing to my day.“

“Came here for breakfast. It was relatively early on a Sunday so there was plenty of free street parking and also no lineup to get a table. Service was great and the waitress was very quick and attentive. The food is priced very competitively and tasted descent. The kids menu pancake was somewhat thick to our taste. The decor is like a classic diner and I think they should keep it this way. All in all, great experience and one of the hidden gems in Montreal.“
“I went there for a lunch with friends and we really appreciated the selection of wines, the atmosphere and the freshness of the ingredients. The service was also very good. I recommend!Vegetarian options: There were a few vegetarian choices on the menu.“
“I love this place. I have been coming here regularly over the last year, and I really enjoy both the service and the food. You can’t go wrong with classics like the French onion soup, super burger, or gyros.The ladies are always so friendly and charming, and they work so hard to make sure you are happy.The potatoes are truly top notch here in all form, be it French fries, or Greek potatoes, or anything else for that matter.Prices are reasonable too.Kid-friendliness: Casual place friendly service“
“L'Auberge Saint Gabriel offers a very warm, cozy and "magical" atmosphere, as well as friendly and efficient wait-staff. In addition, one can enjoy and appreciate the historical beauty of this wonderful heritage building --both inside and outside. Highly recommended!“
“Mon premier événement Montréal en lumière et la première fois que nous allions à ce merveilleux restaurent . Les Vins du vigneron invité ce mariaient très bien avec la nourriture choisie exclusivement pour ce soir la . L'entrée de pétoncle/bourgot/fenouil était définitivement le meilleurs mets de la soirée , par contre tout était excellent . La cuisson au feu de bois de la morue noir et de la pintade était à point . Très belle ambiance , des votre arrivée vous pouvez sentir le feu de bois qui émane dans toute la pièce . Service hors pair , ma compagne avait un peu froid et ils sont venu très vite la voir pour lui proposer un petit chauffage d'appoint . Il est plutôt difficile de mettre une vrai note général puisque nous étions dans un événement culinaire mais avec tout ce que l'on a pu voir, sentir et manger . Je retournerai à cette adresse .“
