French Toast
Philip L.

Good breakfast place at this particular B&M location. They serve lots of different breakfast dishes. Varieties with french toasts, fresh fruits, bacon sausage and eggs, omelets... you name it. We tried out their banana crepes, benedict waffle, and french toast with maple syrup. Dishes were good in general. The waffle could be crispier (-1 star). Server was polite and quick in high gear with us. We went in with a party of 16 people and they have no problem serving us with good attention! Would come back next time. Recommended!

Bar area and kitchen

I've been visiting Montreal for several weeks. I've had breakfast at B & M numerous times during my stay. The food is fresh, delicious and always served hot. The omelettes and scrambled eggs were my "go to" items. Besides an open dining room, they have bar seating and a few bar tables by the window. Perfect for solo diners! The service was some of the best I experienced while in Montreal. The servers were friendly, hard working, and very professional. I really enjoyed chatting with them when they had a few moments to spare. B&M is located in the Mile End which is a cool, hipster neighborhood, a little off the beaten tourist path. If you're anywhere in the neighborhood, you should definitely give it a try. Until next time!

Nutella banana crepes

Stopped by here to conclude our weekend vacation to grab a quick breakfast. Nice little quaint place. It fill ups fast so I suggest arriving early to beat the crowds. Nicely decorated. Minimalistic decorations with a relaxing feel. The service was prompt. The waitress wasn't super friendly but brought our food in a timely manner. The food was great. There were a ton of options to satisfy everyone's taste in the group. I got the Nutella banana crepes. They were delicious and very filling. The extra side order of the fresh fruit skewer was a nice touch as well.

Busy restaurant.  Maybe, only speaking English is a problem,  but ordered an omelet no fruit,  of course fruit arrives
JD S.

Food is good, customer service needs a lot of work. Took awhile to get coffee, no water until I asked the bus boy for a third time. Due to allergies, asked for NO fruit to come to table. Ordered omelet and special breakfast. What arrives is omelet with fruit. Sent it back and kitchen gives us a difficult time to remake the order. Then my breakfast arrived and it also has fruit. Waiter even told the kitchen, I overheard this, that no special request was made, did not say no fruit. Maybe I need to be clearer with my explanation, "no fruit at the table " seems too challenging for this group. Atmosphere is nice. Maybe I got this restaurant on a poor day, but definitely wouldn't recommend it. Infact, going to tell my hotel not to recommend it either. Take your chances if you have any "special request "

2 eggs with bacon, baguette is a nice option $8 Coffee is not included and is an extra $1.50

I'm rarely up this early so I tried to make the best of it and had some breakfast. I normally have my 3 faves in Petite-Patrie but wanted to try something new. I always get the same thing at breakfast, 2 eggs with bacon (8$ here) Bonus points for offering baguettes as a bread option and they did include 4 strips of bacon. However they lose 2 stars for the less-than-warm service and for NOT INCLUDING coffee. Does any other (non-chain) restaurants even do this? The decor looks minimalist with black and white everything but it's a very cheap decor that did not really wow me.

Although there's nothing wrong with their brunch fare, there is nothing remarkable either. Nothing is particularly good or particularly bad. The coffee is as mediocre as the service. This is a local brunch spot and you'll see many families there with their young children (gets loud). The decor is very clean and minimal with a lovely open bar/kitchen section. Overall a very mediocre brunch, if you're in a pinch B&M will do. They are not lacking for different breakfast options and you'll definitely be able to find something to eat. But there is nothing oustanding and it's all in all a very mediocre brunch spot.

Delicious pancakes! Were very gracious about my request for no canteloupe
Arun D.

Wonderful food with bright lively interior. I love their menu - everything you want from a good brunch place. All the classics and nothing too complicated or strange. Good brunch food for a great price. Now what really earns them the five star review is their service. We had the liveliest happiest waiter and it seemed to be an infectious spirit throughout the restaurant.When you feel happy you will enjoy the food even more. I would like to note that they had technically closed the kitchen but my friend had ordered a burger without realizing they didn't come with fries. He asked the waiter and without even hesitation the waiter said it's not a problem. Absolutely loved their attitude and were so accommodating. Really lovely place! Looking forward to going back and laughing and feasting on a pile of pancakes.

Waffle Benedict
Jorgillo Y.

Just to give yelpers an idea of how good this place was, I literally walked for an hour just to be able to eat here for the second day in a row. The food was delectable, the waffle Benedict had a great combination of flavors. The plates come with a fruit skewer that is fresh and tasty. Their orange juice is made in house right in front of you. The service was also another highlight as the staff are warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to enjoy great brunch and great service!

This was my "nice" meal during my very short trip to Montreal last weekend, and it turned out to be…read morea great choice. There are 2 sides of the restaurant: the more casual order what you want brasserie side and then the fancier multi-course chef menu side. I chose the brasserie side, where I had a reservation for a bar seat - turns out that wasn't really that necessary as there were several individual bar seats open; A group would probably have a difficult time getting a seat on a Friday evening though. For drinks, I had a paper plane and a last word. Those are my two go to cocktails for nicer bars, and they pulled them off fantastically (they also knew what I was talking about which is kind of rare for the last word). For an extra nice touch, they clipped an actual paper plane to the paper plane drink. Fun! For food, I ordered the Duck Confit. It was super crispy on the outside, but the meat was super tender and juicy and melted off of the bone. My mouth is watering while thinking about it. It also came with bread service. For dessert I had the tiramisu. I would give it a 4/5 - it was a little more bland than others I've had - not bad at all, but not my favorite one of all time. They seem to be serious about their coffee (see pictures). Since I was sitting right in front of it I had to order one to go with the tiramisu. I had a basic americano, and it was a great addition. My only real complaint is the bar seating felt a little bit exposed as the main walkway through the restaurant goes along the bar seating. Drinks 5/5, Service 5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5

Monarque is one of those restaurants where the service leaves a stronger impression than the food…read moreitself. After discovering Monarque in the Michelin Guide, we made a reservation during our time in Old Montréal, excited for an elevated dining experience with some adventurous dishes. We started with the bone marrow and also ordered the schnitzel, duck, and swordfish. The clear standout of the evening was the swordfish. Beautifully light and flaky, paired with a delicious couscous that gave the dish just enough substance without taking away from the delicate fish. It was easily my favorite bite of the night. The schnitzel and duck, however, didn't quite live up to the same standard. While both were good, I felt the heavier citrus-forward sauces did much of the work in bringing the dishes together rather than allowing the proteins themselves to shine. I appreciate a kitchen willing to experiment with less conventional dishes and bold flavor combinations, but some of these felt more interesting in concept than execution. The duck in particular is something I could have done without. Where Monarque truly excels is hospitality. The service was easily the highlight of our evening. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful in navigating the menu. This is the kind of establishment where if you drop your fork, someone is practically there with a replacement before you've had a chance to pick it up. The pacing was seamless, and the entire experience felt thoughtfully orchestrated. The atmosphere is elegant and formal, with dim lighting, white tablecloths, and an upscale setting that lends itself beautifully to an anniversary or special occasion dinner. My biggest hesitation comes down to the value. At this price point, I expect the food to be just as memorable as the service, and unfortunately, that wasn't quite the case for us. My verdict: 3/5 stars. Monarque is worth experiencing once, especially if you appreciate exceptional hospitality and an adventurous menu. But while I left impressed by the service, the food didn't earn a spot among my top-tier dining experiences. If you do visit, the swordfish would be my recommendation!

I arrived there around 8:30 PM and waited in my car until 9:00 PM before I walked over and the hostess informed me that they were ready for me. I was greeted by JJ and the rest of the crew at the seafood bar, shown the wine/cocktail/ciders & beer menu and the main. menu. They also explained clearly the 2 daily special. I decided since I'm in Quebec, that I would order the Scallop Royale Custard, Nantua Sauce (Royale de Pétoncle Sauce Nantua) for appetizer Roasted Duck "Aux Navets" (Canard Rôti Aux Petits Navets) and I was informed I can add seared foie gras to it. I also paired it with the Notre Nacre cocktail which is mezcal based from the cocktail menu. The Scallop Royale was like a chawanmushi so clean and light with a seafood stock but loaded with scallop and pieces of lobster and the Roasted Duck was executed fantastically (medium rare) and their au poivre sauce paired so well with the duck and seared foie gras . I finished with a marjolaine which is a cake made with almond flour, chocolate, coffee and repeated 24 times! It was a nice sweet way to end the dinner and a contrast to the savory of the duck and au poivre sauce. All around amazing experience service & food.

Definitely devoured the slices quickly and gnawed on the rib bone before the server took the remains of this dish away. LOL. The Spaghetti with Lobster was delicious although the lobster was slightly undercooked. The tail was especially hard to pull away from the shell. I never thought I'd say white asparagus was decadent but it surely was when topped with the sauce. The 15 layer cake can honestly be skipped as it was the thinnest slice of cake I've ever seen. LOL. It was impressive that they could even slice cake that thinly!!! The waitstaff service was great with suggestions to round out the meal perfectly. The host was personable, even helped me with understanding the street parking rules in the area taking me on a stroll outside to check my spot on a really frigid evening.

While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200.

But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!

The fois gras nigiri was pricey, but was definitely worth the try - especially with how the fois gras melting upon contact with the tongue and how the fats and flavors meld together through the rice, it was simply divine.

The flavor was pleasant and savory, and I didn't really feel much of a gamey taste at all when I tried it. As someone who normally doesn't enjoy duck, I thought this dish was really quite lovely.

Indeed the signature move of the chef, Martin Picard, is to elevate traditional, rustic Québécois "peasant food" into world-class fine dining. With the philosophy of unapologetic excess in every dish comes a line up of starters and mains packed with foie gras, butters, and oils in every corner. While the flavors in each dish by themselves are delicious, the onslaught of richness may not be for everybody, and it seemed deliberately without a palate cleanser or lighter counterbalance. In fact, knowing what we were getting into, we ordered an accompanying green salad, and the wait staff forgot to bring it out! We were outright denied anything but sheer gluttony. Our meal consisted of the foie gras poutine, duck in a can, and green tagliatelle. The mantra of excess here meant foie gras melding with cheese curds and gravy on the poutine. Their unique "duck in a can" involved packing quite literally a can with fatty duck breast, foie gras, buttered cabbage, herbs, and gravy, and blasting it all together with heat for 27 minutes. The result is a delicious stew of decadence, for which I wish I had more bread to dip and devour. Even the tagliatelle was bathing in a rich, oily pesto that provided no reprieve from the onslaught. We didn't try the namesake dish of the restaurant, the stuffed pig's foot (le pied de cochon), but seeing it served was an experience and nicely highlighted the elevated "peasant food" aspect of the entire affair. Very unique! Overall I had an excellent experience trying the local cuisine and this more decadent approach to dining. While it's fun sometimes to break culinary rules, I did overall find myself missing a more balanced meal that could feel more sustainable and less coronary artery disease-inducing. I think as long as you know what you're getting into, it's worth a visit, but probably not several!
