L'Barouf - Mostly empty on a rainy midweek afternoon.

Great spot for an easy drink. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Local beers on tap.read more

As we continue our visit to Montreal this week, we had our first sub-par experience. Friends who…read morelive in the area told us that L'Barouf was one of their favorite bars, with plenty of beer on tap, a good negroni, and free popcorn. Well, it may be a great place for locals, but not so much for tourists based on our experience. We walked in the front door on a rainy mid-afternoon and the place was fairly empty (as one might expect at that time of day) with only a single person at two separate tables and two more people sitting at the bar. My wife and I took seats at the bar as well and the bartender walked over to us, perfunctorily handed us a couple of drinks menus, and hovered over us until we made a selection. She apparently was in a hurry to get back to her conversation with the two local women at the other end of the bar. My wife ordered a glass of sauvignon ($8) and I ordered a Kilkenny cream ale ($9). The bartender returned with our drinks, placed them down in front of us without saying a word, and then went back to the other end of the bar. You could almost feel a shiver in the bar, our reception was so cold. It was if we were intruding on her life. Our interaction with the bartender aside, I do have to say that our friends were right; there is an impressive number of beers on tap here. I thoroughly enjoyed my Kilkenny cream ale, which was absolutely delicious, and I would have ordered another one if I could have gotten the bartender's attention. My wife, on the other hand, just wanted to finish her wine and for us to leave and find a friendlier bar to hang out in. (Which we eventually did. Stay tuned for that review.) I finally got the bartender's attention, signaled that I would like to pay, and she sort of sighed as if to say "okay let's get this over with so you can leave and I can go back to what I want to focus on instead of you..." Believe me, at this point the feeling was mutual.

Adjusting slightly based on our latest visit. As per usual, stopped in after seeing a show, myself…read moreand 3 friends. We were asked if we could be gone by 7:30, as they were seating us at a table that had a reservation later. The place was nearly empty, so that was odd. We were sat inside, near the patio doors, which they kept open, and it was a very hot, humid day, so it felt as though there was hot air being blown on us. Very uncomfortable. We got drinks, I ordered one with Diet Coke/pepsi, another diner ordered the same drink but with regular, and they didn't tell us which was which when they were delivered, so unsure if the difference was noted. Before ordering food, I asked the waiter what "sauce vierge" was on a particular dish. He said "like a butter sauce". It was not even close. It's actually a lemon, oil, chopped tomato and basil sauce. The dish was also drizzled with balsamic, which did not pair well with the mashed potatoes under it. I've ordered that dish at a different location before and it was nothing similar at all. Someone else got ketchup spilled on them when their meal was being delivered, the server placed it down badly and the cup toppled over, right on a white shirt, which was unfortunate, however the food runner and our server handled it expertly and really went above and beyond, with our server even digging up a Tide stick, and they comped her meal, which we told them was unnecessary. Ups and downs this visit, but I'll still be back again in the future.

We stopped in here to have a quick bite and escape the cold. This place was so popular and busy…read moreeven at 9pm for dinner! Ice hockey was playing on multiple screens so if you are into sports this is a great place to hang out. There was no feeling of being rushed as to be expected here in Montreal. The menu was in French, but each item had a good picture which really helped us figure out what we and our kids would enjoy. Of course we tried the Poutin. It was delicious with a seasoned and salty gravy and the cheese curds were just perfectly soft and delicious. My husband and I shared a beet and spinach salad which was very fresh and tasty. Our kids had mini burgers and fish and chips. The burgers were amazing and the fish and chips, fine, but not the best they had ever had. I had salmon with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and it was fresh and light and just the warm kind of comforting meal I wanted. Beer selection was also great! We had a short wait coming in, but not too long and we were offered a basket of popcorn while we waited which was a nice touch. Location is great by the huge mall and Christmas markets across the walkway! Everyone was very friendly and could speak French or English which was so helpful for us!

We stoped in here last time in Montreal in the mid afternoon for a quick drink and a snack…read more I was hoping to find a place to watch the Canucks game later that evening but it's not easy to find somewhere that'll have it on in Montreal especially on a Habs game day and that was the case at Le Cage as the bartender said I was out of luck. We had a couple appies the classic poutine which was pretty good, nice gravy and the mini fried onion block. Wow that was great !!! Instead of the standard onion rings it's strips of onion stacked and deep fried and the centre filled with a chipotle sauce. What a great way to prepare onions! This was definitely one of the best munchie foods I've had with a cold beer. The service at Le Cage is average at best but I've found many of the servers in Montreal we have had aren't overly personable or quick on their feet. I don't think I would make this a regular stop for a larger meal but for a quick beer & the onion block I would definitely stop by again.

After wandering around the famous St Paul street we saw that La cage had a rooftop lounge so we…read morestopped in .We ordered 3 different appetizers, flatbread , 3 fish tacos and potato skins, all were excellent and the service was excellent as well. A nice addition was plenty of Tv's for watching sports if you are into that. All in all a first rate restaurant with some nice people watching on the rooftop lounge onto the famous St Paul street.
