My boyfriend and I had been wanting to try this place for quite sometime once we heard about it, so last night, for our anniversary, we decided to go. Had a 6pm reservation, as we were seeing a movie at 7:40pm. The restaurant was not busy at all at this time, yet we were seated in a long booth connected to where a family of 5 were sitting, so we were directly next to them, almost touching elbows, when there were about 30 other tables available in that section. On top of that, we were by a window and the sun was right in my boyfriend's face. So we asked to change seats. We got our new table, much better, but it took another 25 minutes for a waitress to come see us. We asked to try the samplers of beer, advertised at 4 x 4 oz beers for $8.00. We were told that they don't do that in the evenings on weekends. We ordered our pints and food. Pork in pastry appetizer to share, $13 for 3 small pastry, not even 4 so each person can have 2. Then the meal, I had fish and chips which was bland and tasteless, and wild boar ribs were not wild, did not have a gamey taste or texture. On top of all this, the appetizer plates that were on the table were filthy. All in all, not a great experience at all. Will not be back. read more

Le Balthazar Quartier DIX30 - Gastropubs Near Me - Brossard, Quebec

See all

I have to say service is horrible at this location. The hostesses don't know what they are doing. We were told to leave a cell phone number and we would be contacted when a table became available in the terasse. This was not the case- instead when I asked the server walking by- she snapped a me and replied I will get my text when my table becomes available. Then why were people in line after us getting tables on the terasse before we did? I contacted another server and she asked me if we were going to order food. After responding yes-we were then given table on the terasse immediately. The food quality was poor. The duck confit grilled cheese had a high bread to duck ratio although the chips were good. The additional fish and chips we ordered came with fries that were all scraps you get at the bottom of a bag that when you join together form a full french fry. The charcuterie plate was weak-the only highlight being the paprika/lemon goat cheese. I like the beer and live music- but not enough to come back. read more

Terrible salmon tartare.. one of the worse I ever had. The fish was very "fishy" tasting, the mango and pineapple in them were no where near ready to be eaten, smallest portions for 30$+ tax?! What a waste of money.. left very mad I had to spend so much for some terrible food! Shameful! read more

Upon my arrival, no one greeted us right away. My friend and I questioned whether it was open or not. Once we got seated, the delivery of service was exceptionally friendly and good. If I am ever in the area again, this would be my 'spot'. Amazing drinks and food! Next time I might try the dessert! read more

Such horrible services, I went there for lunch and was promptly seated, but I had to wait for over 20 minutes to even pass my order. The food came another 20 minutes later with the waiter forgetting my beer, but I could not find him anywhere as he was busy talking to a female colleague. All in all never going back read more

I had made a business reservation for 40 people which was very easy to set up with the manager. They were very accommodating for everything. The evening was perfect, our waiter was extremely efficient and very friendly. The food was excellent as always, and everybody was happy with their meals and drinks. I chose Balthazar because i have been several times and was always pleased with the food, service and ambiance. But they have exceeded my expectations for big groups, this will definitely be our new work group destination! Thank you Francis & Eric! read more

Was looking forward to trying out the salads here with my mom and aunt last night. We enjoyed the pairing suggestions of a beer and wine for most things on the menu and found that for the items we selected, the drinks were a good match. Our main problem with the restaurant was how dark it was. Let's put it this way, it's great that there are photos of the menu selections available online because that was the last time that I saw what the food looked like. We're all for ambience, but come on. Perhaps for the dining tables - only, there could be some candle-type/other lights on the tables? I dunno. Just saying that this was very dark for no real reason. The GOAT salad was a bit salty for mom's taste, but she said it was good. Aunt had tasty salmon cooked on a cedar plank which she liked once she realized that what looked like sausages on her plate were actually carrots (TOO DARK!), and my Caesar salad with chicken and bacon was very tasty. Not sure if I'd come back if the dining area wasn't a bit better lit. Never thought this would be remotely important to me, but it actually made me want to eat and leave much more quickly than we had planned. read more

Very cool atmosphere, bands playing with music in between. Like the food, and vast drink menus with lots of options. Friendly staff, very underrated on Yelp!! read more

The worst service. We have been here at least seven times. We come back out of convenience, it is close to home and the terrasse is great, with a good selection of beer. But be prepared for a staff that regularly ignores your needs and your meal and beer to take a really long time. Even when it is completely empty. The wait staff is generally more interested in chit chatting with each other than taking your order....While Mile Public House is an alternative, their terrasse is small and often packed and the beer selection is limited...We are hoping someone will give this place competition soon! read more

This should have been a 5 star review. In the middle of the dix30 huge shopping centre, this is a paradise for beer aficionados. 50 beers on tap. 100 beers from quebec from 22 different breweries. You'll find the perfect beer, for a perfect sunny afternoon on the really nice terraces upstairs. They have food and I have one thing to say : best pulled pork Poutine I tried so far. This is it, I said it. This was the best one. Pulled pork was juicy and tasty, great. I actually stole some from my partner because, and this was the only problem during this night out : the service. Don't get me wrong, friendly service, enthusiast waitress, overall nice staff. But. There's always a but. While waiting for a beer, twice another waiter asked if we ordered this or that. We didn't. The Poutine arrived. I waited for my burger. We finished the Poutine. I was still waiting for my burger. I ordered another beer. It came 5mn later and I was about to give up on my burger. But it finally arrived. Maybe 20mn after my partner finished her meal. Not great. I asked for mayo : Heinz mayo pack like in cafeteria. For a 16$ burger : not great. Burger and fries were really good though. Good homemade mayo is ALWAYS a very big detail. Take note restaurant and bar owners. Overall a success. It was game night and it's a huge place so I can understand the difficulties but this is something they could work on. But I will definitely go back, you can't say no to 50 different great local breweries beer. read more

Soulless food. That's what came to my mind while I was eating there. Let me explain. I'm used to eat at restaurants where the cook actually puts a bit of his passion and style into the food. It doesn't need to be a great restaurant for that to happen... but everything I ate at Balthazar was bland and subpar. I ordered a Spinach dip and a some ribs and want3d to try their beer combo. Most (or maybe all the) dish have a suggested beer to accompany the plate. My wife ordered some Squid General Taos and some fish and chips. I went the safe route, she chose to be a bit adventurous... First off, they didn't have any of the beers that was matching my dishes... not even the one matching the ribs (which I guess must be popular). Then comes the taste. Or lack of... my spinach dip was alright. Nothing fancy. As for my ribs, I'm pretty sure I bought better ribs at Provigo, in the frozen isle... and for 22$, I would have thought they would give me a full rack. Nope, just an half... the sides were some veggies (which were ok) and some chips, fine slices of potatoes over fried that tasted like the bottom of a fryer... yum yum. As for my wife, her General Tao Squids were mushy in texture, as if there were reheated... and her fish tasted ultra bland. No salt or seasoning. The fries tasted like regular frozen fries. That's the kind of food you get when the cook is just following a recipe and don't care to bring anything to his plates... soulless. Will I come back? I'll let you guess... read more

The atmosphere was good even if the music was very loud to the point of screaming to be heard on the other side of the table. Music was not my style, so I do not know if it was good but for me repeating the same drum beat for 20 minutes is not very good. The beer was good and the selection was great. As for the food, wow that was bad! My wife took the onion soup and she told me it was the worse she ever had. In all fairness the spinach dip was not bad, just ordinary. As for me, I took the trio of tartar. They were bland and extremely cold, right out of the fridge. It was evident that they were prepared in advance and kept in the fridge. Normally a tartar should be served to almost room temperature, just fresh not icy cold. Since the prices are much too high for the quality I will not be back. read more

Come for the beers selection, then come back to try more. Great selection and a knowledgeable staff. Good is good but maybe a bit over priced. Ambiance is trying really hard to be a pub experience but feels corporate. Great choice in the Dix30, doesn't make you feel not "upscale enough" as some ither places around read more

Great place for lunch. The atmosphere and staff were very nice and the service was good. Wide selection of beers on tap (including local micro brews). Very large inside and outside options for seating. read more

Great place to try a variety of local Quebec micros but WAY overpriced. $8.50 for a pint that is $6 at their proper establishments. Average food menu that's paired to the beer that they serve. Hit or miss on that count. Better than going to 3 Brasseurs... OK mega mall box store atmosphere. Helpful staff that will suggest their favourites as long as you don't ask them what the name of the beer they're serving. Also they have screw top wines on display in their contrived wine cellar. read more

I never write reviews but this experience was such a disappointment that it motivates me Great location and terrace and I was super thirsty for a beer but took 30 minutes to get served then got a new waiter for no reason so had to start over Ordered wings and stressed Extra well done but they were so raw and mushy and disgusting that could not eat them My wife ordered poutine and soo salty also could not eat it When complained to waiter just got a " sorry" Overall would go for the beer but since the service is so bad it will not wash away the bad taste in my mouth read more

Went to have beer with buddy's there was no room at the bar so they said we could have a table. When we sat down they told use if we don't get food we can not have the table worst management ever . So went to a other bar and spent Are money well never go back . read more

Nice beer list, but they are out of stock on a few of them at any given time. Location is convenient, food is ok. All and all its a good place to have drinks and talk with friends. Much better then the public house. Service is "ok" as well nothing to wright home about. read more
