    Mac n cheese

    We were a group so we took a bunch of different things on the menu. The chicken is extra crispy just how I like it. The waiter was lovely and patient.

    I LOVE chicken and waffles and couldn't wait to try it here at Bird Bar. Unfortunately it was super disappointing. Service was really slow. We went on a Sunday mid-day and they had their brunch menu. After we were seated, it took a server 15 minutes to grab our drink order. We decided to order our food at the same time. Not a whole lot of options but I was excited to try the chicken and waffles. Waffles came extremely soggy. They were like mush under the fried chicken. The syrup was way too sweet even though it's claimed to be sriracha Maple. The chicken was very underwhelming too. Tasted burnt and no flavor whatsoever. Overall very disappointing experience, definitely won't be back.

    This place was considered empty for a Saturday brunch. Our large group sat indoors. One neat thing was that the staff came by with little rubber wedges to stick under the table legs to stop them from wobbling. My 2-piece fried chicken (drumstick & tender) was alright. The duck juice reduction was delicious but the tender piece was quite dry so it needed the help from the sauce. The grilled corn didn't taste super fresh though and it seemed to have a slightly off sour taste. My stomach has been aching since this meal so there's that... But let me warn you in advance about the fried chicken. If fried chicken is their jam, you'd think it'd be well mastered... Sadly, such was not the case. 3 of my dining companions also ordered the fried chicken and for one person, their 2 pieces bone-in were both pink and RED!!! There was literal blood in the chicken like 30 seconds ago it was still alive and moving around. For another person who had the chicken waffle, their large chunk of chicken was pink like medium rare which they requested a well cooked replacement. The replacement chicken came back medium well (T_T). Same with the third person, he had asked to get his undercooked chicken replaced twice and it was STILL undercooked. In the end, he just opted to not get the third piece replaced because the kitchen still couldn't get it right. Our server was very accommodating despite the kitchen difficulties but I really wouldn't recommend eating chicken here. Also the bathrooms downstairs had sticky floors and smelled of urine.

    We went for Brunch on a Saturday and got the bottomless mimosas. It's for 2 hours, it was busy so the refills weren't the fastest but they were definitely trying. The food was absolutely delicious!! The waffles and chicken were 10/10 and the breakfast sandwich did not disappoint. It's very trendy inside. Overall great experience for Brunch! Would go again.

    Ok, 3 words CHICKEN & WAFFLES!! We came here after trying to catch brunch at another location in Montreal and are so glad that the other place was booked. My boyfriend and I both ordered the chicken and waffles and when I say it was the best we've ever had it was fantastic! The chicken was seasoned well, cooked to perfection and the breading literally melted in your mouth. So good! The waffles were a great texture and the syrup sealed the deal! Imagine a sweet but not too sweet syrup with hints of Sriracha sauce. #chefskiss The dish also came with a side of watermelon and cheese and we had two mojitos which were really good. Our server was quick and friendly! When we come back to Montreal we will definitely visit here again!

    " Éléphant Ear ": flattened fried chicken breast with arugula parmesan and cherry tomato salad and classic 3 piece fried chicken

    I've been to Bird Bar twice (one for brunch and one for dinner). Both times I had a pleasant time! Located near other trendy restaurants in the heart of Griffintown, Bird Bar serves fried chicken in a modern, elevated setting. They also have a speakeasy bar downstairs called the " Hen Bar ". I tried the 2 pcs classic fried chicken (that comes with a choice of sauce) when I came for brunch. We also ordered the watermelon mint feta salad and a fruit salad on side. I tried the Maple-siracha sauce as it was highly recommended by our waitress but I personally found it to be a bit on the sweet side. My boyfriend had the bourbon sauce and said it was good -- I would love to try some other sauces next time! When I visited for dinner on another occasion, we were a group of 6 and I ordered the Elephant Ear which is a flattened fried chicken breast with arugula/parmesan/cherry tomato salad. I personally enjoyed this dish very much and would probably order again next time when I'm back They also have a " FamJam " deal where you get 12 pcs of chicken served with fries, salad, watermelon feta salad and 4 sauces. I have yet to try this but I think this is a good deal ($75 for all). Prices are a bit on the higher side for fried chicken, but think of it as a slightly overhyped glorified fried chicken joint with upscale and trendy decor. You do get what you pay for though, as the service is decent and the food is consistently good! It might be a while until I return, but I will definitely come back. Overall: 4.5 Food: 5 Value: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 5

    This place for sure has delicious chicken! My friends and I came there for brunch. We were sitting outside. Our server was nice and friendly. However, after we ordered our food it took forever to get it finally. I do not know what took them so long to bring it to us, but the food was excellent.

    Good food, friendly staff, nice menu variety. First time visiting Montreal in 2 decades and we found this spot to be a great place for casual dinner

    This is My 3rd time at Bird Bar, and the first two times, I enjoyed the place immensely. We always say third is a charm; sadly in this case, my third time is a displease. I went for brunch. Service is amiable, and with the help of our waitress, I ordered the vegan drumsticks with maple siracha sauce. The drumsticks were disgusting, taste like broth. I enjoyed my sauce in that dish with jalapeños bread. Then I had truffle mac n cheese, which I had it previously during my both visits, personally, it was the best dish ever. But now, I don't know if the ingredients have changed, or cooking style have changed but it was a major disappointment. The pasta was over cooked, but the liquid inside was not properly absorbed. The dish was very fluidly with over the top flavors of truffle. For sure, there won't be a fourth at bird bar. :(

    Came here to celebrate my birthday, and this place did not disappoint! The resto had a great vibe to it: DJ with great music, great looking bar, good food and great staff. We were seated at the bar, which honestly was spacious and had a great view of the place. With recommendations from our waitress/bartender, we started off with cocktails, the Rococo was very refreshing and tasty which reminds me of an upgraded mojito. As for food, their plates came in quite generous portions which are great to share. Their truffle Mac N Cheese was very tasty, well seasoned and cheesy. As for their famous fried chicken, they were so crispy and tasty on the outside and juicy on the inside - delicious and simple. But with their sauces, it completely elevated the chicken, especially their jerk mayo which is a slightly spicy Caribbean tasting mayo and their bourbon sweet bbq dip. I also tried my friends' beef short rib, which was so delicious - rich in flavour, falls off the bone and melts in your mouth! To my surprise, since it was a birthday celebration, the owner kindly treated me and all of my friends with free shots - which was very nice of them! Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially for events! With a great ambiance, great quality and tasty food and drinks for a decent price, served by a great staff - what more can you ask? I'm definitely coming back, and hopefully get to check out their bar the Hen Den. Also, I recommend making reservations here because the place is usually packed.

    Situated on Notre Dame street, this restaurant's specialty is, you guessed it, fried chicken. The ambiance of the restaurant feels very relaxed and lounge-ish type; I don't know what I expected it to be but but to me the name made it sound more like a hipster restaurant. I ordered their fried chicken with a water melon salad and we shared a Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was delicious; creamy and cheesy, not too salty and not too liquidy. The fried chicken decent. You have a fair amount of sauce choice to go with it. I had their maple and sriracha sauce. Pretty good I have to say. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I had better fried chicken but it wasn't that bad. The price was pretty fair considering. The waitress was very friendly. Overall, decent food, good experience.

    Chicken sandwich with fries included.
    James R.

    First time here. Absolutely loved it, food steaming hot and delicious! And very large portions. We will go back for the Mac and cheese, we saw it being served as we were leaving. But one can only eat so much, Right? See you next week!

They don't seem to get as much attention as some other poutine places, but don't sleep on this experience. For their price, it is a lot of food, one large serving of their 19$ grilled chicken with sausage and poutine is a great meal that will last you the entire day, it was more than enough for two. They debone two legs of chicken on top of the poutine that they pulled fresh off their grill! Service was fast, there is plenty of room to eat at the restaurant and they have a separate counter for the pastries. We had to get some of their Portuguese tarts (10$ for 6) and they were also amazing. Creamy, custardy, perfectly baked. It reheated well in the air fryer when we brought some back as souvenirs to enjoy. This is a place worth stopping by in Montreal, poutine in one hand and a batch of tarts for dessert on the other.

    A bounty of food comes with your half chicken and fries!…read more The "golden row" of chicken twisting and turning while cooking definitely generates much anticipation. I'll say half of the 1/2 chicken I ordered was definitely moist and tender, while the other side was a bit dried out. The fat from the skin was nonexistent, so not much flavor other than the sauce that coated the exterior of the chicken. While there was an abundance of fries, which covered every inch of the paper box, sadly they were neither crunchy nor crisp. This was right after opening my box after I paid for my order. I also got the chicken sandwich which was juicer even if it was less majestic than the 1/2 chicken. The flan dessert was somewhat forgettable, I left half of it behind. There was a line up to order but it moved well. There is seating inside however the tables and chairs were in need of a good wipe down.

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Casual Korean eatery. Great combos…read morewith lots of variety. Everything was tasty. The Long Version: My husband and I went here for lunch. I got the fried chicken combo ($16.99) and my husband got the beef combo ($16.99). We requested no sesame seeds for our food and they accommodated by not sprinkling sesame seeds on the rice, japchae or beef, but they forgot that one of the fried chicken sauces has sesame seeds in it, so I had to give my husband that piece. We were going to share anyway, so it wasn't a big deal for me. The Fried Chicken Combo came with 3 pieces of fried chicken, each one a different flavour: original, sweet and spicy, and soy garlic. The sweet and spicy sauce has sesame seeds in it. Since I can't eat sesame seeds but can tolerate slight contamination, I didn't bring it up and just gave that piece to my husband. Although in retrospect I should have alerted them for them to be more aware for someone else who might have a more severe issue. Both combos came with japchae, rice, 2 dumplings, and coleslaw. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It was great. I liked both the original and the soy garlic. Hubby liked the sweet and spicy. The beef was tender and flavourful. And I liked that it was lean meat and not gristly. The dumplings were deep-fried and had pork and vegetables in it. The rice was nicely steamed and slightly sticky which I liked. The japchae was flavourful and had shiitake mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers and onions in it. It was little too oily for my preference, but I still enjoyed it. The combos also came with a can of soda or a bottle of water. My husband got a Coca Cola and I got a bottle of water, which I took to go to drink during my shopping adventures after lunch, since we were given tap water with our meal. Service was courteous and efficient. Lots of indoor seating with televisions playing K-pop music videos in the dining room. The restaurant is down a flight of stairs, so might be a problem for those with mobility issues. Review #18 (2025)

    A friend of a friend recommended this place as a must try when we were in Montreal. Trendy? No…read more Loud? No. Tasty food in an old school setting? Yes! This restaurant reminds me of the types of places I used to go to with my parents and grandparents. It just brought back a sense of nostalgia. We got here right when they opened on a Sunday morning and were one of the first tables there. When we told the servers that we were visiting from the US and that Chalet came highly recommended, they took pity on us (rightfully so) and then gave us a 5 star experience. We got the chicken special that came with fries, baked potato, Cole slaw and chicken soup and you cannot forget about the gravy! I'm not a Cole slaw conossieur but it was some of the Cole slaw I've ever had. Very finely shredded and the perfect combo of tangy and sweet. The chicken was perfectly roasted and I was so sad that I was getting full off of all the homestyle sides that I couldn't eat all the chicken. But the gravy? Good god that gravy, it's been weeks and I'm still thinking about it. I'm not even a big gravy person but this was savory heavy with a kick at the end. They gave us multiple cups, one for dipping and one for slipping! Come for the food and service, this place is full of regulars and appreciate the hospitality from our servers (I believe Janet or Janice and another friendly lady!)

    Another great experience. Delicious food, consistently nice service (we tend to always have the…read moresame waitress and she was great). It seemed busier today than usual with other diners so it was very lively but it was still easy to hear each other talk (and the service was still fast).
