duck legs!
Mikey M.

came for dinner and every dish was prepared perfectly delicious and everything was fairly-priced. this was a truly authentic canadian cuisine experience -- they served a beautiful dish with seal. unbelievable. thank you cynthia for being a wonderful server. i highly recommended this place to anyone, it's a magical experience!

double béné'cochonne
Audrey T.

Wow, an amazing brunch spot in Montreal! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. I had the double béné'cochonne ($19). It was so aesthetic and so filling. Comes with 2 poached eggs on a croissant with béchamel sauce, beer pulled pork and old cheddar gratin. All covered with smoked Oka cheese hollandaise sauce and accompanied with potatoes and salad. My friends and I also got a sweet plate ($15) to share. Composed of: 1 hazelnut waffle, 1 chocolat chip french toast, 1 slice of banana bread with walnuts, chouquettes, homemade dulce de leche, salted butter caramel, maple whipped cream and fresh fruits. We shared it between 4 of us since we all have sweet tooth's and it was the perfect way to end our brunch.

How can you go wrong with unlimited mussels for 19$? You can't ! We got there at 8 pm took a quiet table in the back of course wearing our masks and sanitizing our hands upon arrival. Appetizer of the duck wings really surprised me. They were DELICIOUS. I can't find anything wrong about them. Fall of the bone, saucy, meaty and dipping sauce was on point. Mussels were great they had 3 types of sauces the night we came. White wine, blue cheese and curry. The best was blue cheese. The food was very salty from the fries to the sauce but besides that it was a great all you can eat and a fun night out.

Harp seal

The food was pretty good. I tried the seal -- I've come to the conclusion that I don't like seal meat. It tasted a little gamey/fishy/iron-y. But that's not on them. You also get free bread and delicious berry + butter jam as a starter. The mussels were amazing and they give you a lot! Pea soup was nice. So were the fries! It's the nice, slightly sweet thick fries you often get with poutine in Quebec. However, the food took quite a long time to come. When I asked to pack my food up, they gave me one container for me to pack up my pea soup and my leftover fries...and then it took about another 10 minutes before I was able to get another container to put my soup separately. The bill also took about 20-25 minutes to arrive, despiting asking for it from 2 different waiters. The waiters were all nice and kind folks when I was able to talk to them/get their attention, it's just that everything was a bit slow. Also did not get a refill on our waters at the table during the entire 2.5 hours we were there. Would not recommend going during a work lunch break (which I did).

Location: in the heart of mile end. Restos, coffeeshop, bakeries and ice cream shops all around. Service: friendly, helpful, quick and enthusiastic. Decor: wildlife feeling Food: very delicious! As an entree I had shark tartare. It was Flavorful. As my main dish, I had steak with chimichuri sauce on the side garden salad and fries... it was perfectly cooked... it was one of the best steak I had. Conclusion: recommended!

Vanilla and chocolate pancakes!
Anna C.

This place has been blowing up on Instagram lately so decided to come check out their brunch. Nice ambiance, service was great. I ordered a cappuccino and it was quite underwhelming. My friend ordered the vanilla and chocolate pancakes and I ordered the hotdog. The pancakes were good but for the portion was a bit small. There were only two pancakes and it was served on a wooden board which made it tricky to pour maple syrup. I ordered the hotdog because I thought it was going to be a sausage. The waitress said the meat was a smoked pork sausage but it didn't taste particularly special. Overall we had a nice brunch but it wasn't anything special.

Celine H.

Nice, cozy place with more pricey items. Tried the seal appetizer (first bite tasted like lamb then it got better), and the yak meat balls which were tasty. Tried a meringue dessert, too sweet for my taste.

Went here for brunch when they had their cabane a sucre back in March and it was to die for We ordered their pancakes and their eggs Benedict to share. Couldn't have asked for a better combination. Everything was delicious

Seal
Louise E.

If you're feeling adventurous and want to try some very interesting meats, this place is it. As a visitor to Montreal, a friend of ours local to Montreal described this place as truly Quebecois. Very casual vibes, a bit uncomfortable during the summertime since they didn't have the AC on and it was quite hot in the main dining room. Service was very attentive and the servers were very good at giving us food tips and dropping food gems. Must-haves: deer tartare, seal, and boar, and the boudin Absolutely adored the deer tartare - great flavour and wonderful texture. If you like liver, the seal is very interesting, not dry at all but quite juicy. Had the boar to share with my boyfriend and it was so moist and the portions were huge. It was perfect that we shared an entree instead of getting our own. MUST GET the BOUDIN - absolutely incredible and one of the best I've ever had.

Irene D.

What a place! Food was so good and different. They make their own breakfast sausages and they are definely worth the try. I tried the elk breakfast burger (unfortunately I don't have a picture) and and I HIGHLY recommend it! The sweet and salty pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pancakes were so fluffy and soft. You should go! Oh and they take reservations good brunch

Xue L.

Average food and not so great service. We had a reservation during brunch time but still had to wait around 30 minutes to get a table as everyone in line also had a reservation. After sitting down, we were told we would only have an hour as it was very crowded, but that hour also includes waiting 10 minutes before getting our orders taken and then waiting for the food to arrive for 15 minutes. Although we did finish everything on time, the food is less enjoyable when you feel rushed like this. As for the food and drinks, they were very average and nothing tasted so great that it makes me want to come back.

Sarah R.

We had a great visit to this restaurant during Mtl a Table! The restaurant decor is very cozy - you feel like you are in a posh wood cabin! It was a cold night but the double doors kept us warm, despite being right near the entrance. All of the dishes were very tasty. My husband had the seal tataki appetizer, which was definitely a first! The trout was cooked perfectly, with a delicious maple-beer glaze. The brownie was very decadent, but I found the nougat dessert to have too many nuts. There was a beer/wine pairing that was available, but it did not seem like a good deal relative to the normal pint prices. Service was great. The server was patient as we practiced our French but was sure to clarify things when she knew we did not understand. Great choice!

Breakfast hamburger with fruit smoothie. (Brunch at 2pm in a Sunday ;P ) it was with beef but originally was meant to be with Elk.
J R Daniel S.

They even offer exotic meats like Elk and stuff, but you can stick to beef and more traditional ones if you want to. No complaints and recommend the experience, I am a man of few words! :)

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 it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

This is inside a hotel and the lobby/bathrooms are very nice. Would recommend getting a reservation since there are limited tables and it was busy/full even on a Thursday evening. Came here on our first night in Montreal with 2 other girl friends. To start we all got cocktails and I had gotten the Right Word which has gin Tanqueray, liqueur St-Germain, Lillet, lime. It was a nice cocktail but nothing that special. I was a little disappointed that a fancy place like this did not have any unique cocktails. Most things on there were just basic cocktails you can find just with a different name. For our meal, my friend and I decided to get the beef Wellington and halibut and share as we both wanted the beef but also something lighter vs eating that much beef. Both dishes were very delicious but I didn't think they were amazing for the price you pay. Portions are on the smaller side too. To start, we had also ordered the focaccia bread. It comes out with a mound of butter with the Bar George logo on top and some sea salt crystals on a cute black slate board. The focaccia was fluffy and great, especially with the salted butter. It was nice that they cut up the beef Wellington into 2 parts already as we were sharing. Our other friend got the Lobster Risotto and I have to say hers was the best one of the 3. It has a curry flavor to the sauce and was just so flavorful and unique. The risotto soaks up all the flavor so that you have a delicious bit every time. The beef Wellington was recommended at Medium and it was perfect, Juicy and tender but it could have used a sauce on the side or a better side to bring in some more flavors. The halibut was a bit plain as well and needed a sauce. However, both dishes were still delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He helped answer any questions we had and gave his recommendations. Overall, a very pleasant experience, but just lacking a bit for me due the upscale vibes and pricing. Would still make a lovely meal if you are visiting Toronto.

On our first visit, Charlotte took wonderful care of us. The menu's ham and cheese option, which looked like a scone, seemed a bit heavy, so I asked if she could offer something lighter. Though a ham and cheese croissant isn't on the menu, she kindly offered to bring me the ingredients so I could make my own. I ordered a plain croissant with capicola, a ham-and-salami-style cold cut, and cheese on the side, then assembled my own sandwich at the table. I was so happy she accommodated me, and the simplicity and quality of the ingredients were perfect alongside one of the best lattes we've had in a very long time. On our second visit, Violet served us with the same warmth. I knew exactly what to ask for, and she delivered just as Charlotte had. We enjoyed great lattes with an extra shot of espresso on the side, and a hot chocolate that our son called one of the best he's ever had. The atmosphere is lively and cozy, with people chatting, warm lighting, and lovely decor. It's a bit tight inside and gets very crowded, but we were lucky to be seated right away both times, and we felt truly blessed as we watched a long line form outside. This is a staple for us, and it will definitely be on our list the next time we're in Old Montreal.

We learned from the Two Gay Expats on YouTube that this was the place to try based on the charismatic chef Michael Tozzi and his renowned ricotta pancakes. Jamie W and I got here late on a weekday morning. Sure enough there was a queue. Dame fortune must've smiled upon us because we moved to the head of the line as a party of two. Even though the threat of rain hung over us, we were seated in the front parklet and quite happily since the dining room inside looked packed. We started with a couple of C$6.25 Iced Maple Lattes because it felt like the Canadian thing to do. They provided a welcome caramel-like sweetness to our refreshment (Photo 9). Jamie was more conscientious about his entree and ordered the C$26.99 Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad, quite a mound of delights: romaine, cabbage, carrot, celery, shredded chicken breast, cashews, cilantro, fried wontons, and sesame chicken (Photo 8). Both the textures and flavors meshed really well together. Of course you can guess what I ordered, the C$27 Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, lemon cream, and Quebec strawberries (Photo 10).

I went a long time ago, back in 2021, and I was so happy to have gone again since they relocated to Old Montreal. The exterior is this new building, but inside, it feels like you're in an old building with rustic textures and colours. The ambiance is so lovely and it truly is the best place for delicious brunch items and taking cute pictures too! My friends and I visited on a Saturday morning without reservations, but we went relatively earlier. We were seated right away for a table of 4 and were served teas and coffee. I ordered the Bone Marrow & Duck Confit which consisted of a country-style bread, duck poached egg, bone marrow, confict duck leg, manchego shavings, herb salted crumble and green peas. It's a massive dish and honestly everything tasted amazing all together. The bone marrow was perfectly cooked and the duck poached egg meld everything together. They also give you another bowl so you can put the marrow once you're done eating it. The bread was needed to soak up every part of this delicious dish. Other items ordered was the Foie Gras (Chef's specialty) which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, caramelized onion compote and crispy proscuitto chips. The chips were a wonderful item to pair with the seared foie gras. The foie gras was perfectly cooked. The Rustic is another fan favourite which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, sautéed mushrooms. pulled pork, potatoes and argula sprouts. it is such a beautiful dish - nice colours, many ingredients and placed well on the plate; not to mention it was so good too! The last item was the Croque Monsieur which has country-style bread, maple-glaed Gaspor acon, confit tomatoes, cheddar, duck sunny side-up egg on an endive salad. You can't pick it up and munch on it, so you know how big this must have been! Even cut into pieces, it requires some maneuvering to munch on it. Great place for brunch. Awesome service too.

The servers were bilingual in French and English, and they were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. My goal was to eat as much foe grais as I can on this trip so I ordered the Foie Gras Poached Eggs. OMG starting off with the bread that was on the bottom, it was so soft and fluffy. Literally melted in my mouth. The foie gras had a beautiful sear and was rich and silky, with a texture that honestly reminded me of ice cream. There was also a touch of sweetness in the sauce that cut through the richness in the best way. Every bite was perfectly balanced. I was super impressed and will absolutely try to visit again the next time I'm in Montreal.
