First time trying public Karaoke! This place has a DJ (if you want to call him that) and so you just tell him the song you want to sing and he puts it on the list. You present yourself to the mic when it starts. It's cheaper than a private room and if you get there early enough, you have it all to yourself so it's almost like a private room. The karaoke is on the second floor and it's quite spacious and comes with lots of 5$ deals (all entrees and basic calamari, as well as a 5$ gin and tonic loaded with gin so definitely worth the price). They open the second floor at 8pm and the guy comes in at 8:30pm to start playing songs. Once more people show up, it does drag on a bit because there are more songs to go through before it's your turn. Also, if you're shy there's a bigger audience. Loved my time here so much! They had great deals, the food was delicious (much better than you'd expect, I ordered the fried chicken and pogo's), and the service was fast. I'd go back with friends in a heartbeat!

This place rocks for many reasons: central location, $5 menu upstairs and Karaoke. I met up with some other yelpers and we threw down the gin & tonics and had a blast rocking out to Destiny's Child, Eminem and GNR. The place itself is not too packed on a Wednesday night and the first floor is not loud. The Gin menu is many pages long and I recommend making them a double. Oddly enough the $5 special was the strongest drink of the bunch. Food was standard bar fare (nachos, pogos, chicken bites, poutine) but at $5 bucks it was well worth it. Superb service as well. Keep it up read more

I love gin, so this place is heaven for me. I tried three different gins, two of which were the waitress' recommendations. I explained the flavour I was looking for and the suggestions were fantastic! Music was great and at a perfect volume. The lights were dimmed and the decor was quaint. Nice place for a date!

Had a blast here last night! I like the vibe of this bar on the first floor for a drink and a bite but glad we moved it up to the second floor, where the karaoke night took place. There weren't many ppl which was fantastic as it meant our group got to sing all of our song requests in rapid succession instead of the usual 20 song wait like at other places. The specials they had were awesome: $5 poutine, $5 nachos, $5 gin&tonics... etc. Fast service and very fun times karaoke-ing! read more

Le Pourvoyeur is a neighbourhood pub located right next to the Jean Talon market. It's your typical neighbourhood pub and prices are in line with what you pay elsewhere. Le Pourvoyeur is a gin bar so if that is your alcohol of choice you will adore this place. Don't worry if gin isn't your thing because you will also be sure to find drinks that don't contain it. While I am not the biggest fan of straight gin I figured I would try the gin-based cocktails because it was a gin bar. I ordered a couple of Negronis over the course of the night and there was a notable lack of consistency. The first one was on point but the second one was way too potent and the gin had overpowered everything. I enjoy the hint of bitterness that the Campari adds to the drink but I could barely taste it in the second one. When discussing food once again there was a lack of consistency. On this particular visit I ordered the ribs which were a little dry and not as tender as they should have been. The fries on the other hand were excellent. They were crispy and had just the right amount of salt. This pub is okay but it doesn't blow me away. If I am in the area I would consider returning but I doubt that I would make an effort to come here especially when you have other places nearby that are really good. read more

Gin, something about having this makes me think, why haven't I started earlier... what am I missing. Well, Le Pourvoyeur can help... with there millions of selections of gin (not exactly) but the variations are remarkable. I've been here before but I've never been here during a 5 a 7 period. The place looks more vibrant and alive with the terrace in the front and the open concept in the front of the bar. I tried a gin I haven't tried before for England called Boodles and it was actually really good. 8.5$ a glass is a normal price for a gin and the prices vary from 7$- 12$ This spot also has good food. I had the bacon poutine, which filled me up for more gin, and I can say that it was good! I recommend this bar if you're looking for something a bit different and/or to celebrate a birthday. I have to mention that they have an upstairs with a DJ so that the party can run until the AM. Location is kind of hard if you come by car (only if you come for 5 a 7) after 8 you're fine!   Hope you like it!   Cheers! read more

Blessed be, chicken and waffles are back on the brunch menu! Sometimes they are there, sometimes they aren't, you'll have to keep coming back! Thankfully the food is delicious: the eggs benedict are perfect with the salmon gravlax, the meat sandwich is humongous, but trailing behind are the avocado toast (good, but just that), and the cheeseburger, because it has Kraft cheese in it and NO. The place is beautiful, and if you come for brunch you might just be seated in the atrium/terrasse while they play some 80s grooves. Yay! read more

3.5 Some days, you just need a glass of wine. It was a chilly, wet day in Montreal and I was winding down my adventures. I had a hot date (more in a later review) to look forward to but I wanted to make sure that I was present and involved during every second of my trip. After all, I'd wanted to come here for years and, so far, the city had lived up to my expectations. Got it? Needed a place to while away some time. Chilly. Wet. I'm a drunk. Wait. What? Consulting la reine et Yelp, I, first, wandered around a specialty grocery store that boasted cheese, beer, wine, and other goodies that were all local to Montreal in the micro and Canada in the macro. For an ignorant American, it was quite the education. But since I didn't buy anything there, I'm not reviewing it. Look for it while/when in the Jean Talon Market neighborhood. The window shopping had made me thirsty and la reine suggested just the place to warm up, chat a bit and get some wine. She was right in all regards. LP's charming wood decor is, at once, both charming and hip. The upstairs is the perfect place for an event and the downstairs is where you'd want to take your friend/date/loved one to chat and sip. That's what we did. After having a chatty conversation with an earnestly nice bartender (the Miamian in me was not so trusting at first), we settled in with her recommendation for glasses. Not only was the glass poured with a stiff hand and tasted like buttery cherries, I couldn't help but be impressed by the cocktail menu. I wanted to try one but 1.) it was the afternoon 2.) I had places to be and 3.) What would the neighbors think? I don't know anything about the food situation but as a place to have a drink with a friend, LP is definitely digable. read more

"We're here for brunch, do you speak English?" "I speak English but I don't take baby." (gesturing to baby with couple behind us) We were seated in a sunny atrium overlooking Jean-Talon Marché and the beautiful people of Montréal. BRILLIANT. Wasn't our baby. Popped in for brunch here with a girlfriend. I had the Oeufs Bénédictine (Eggs Benedict) and my friend Amy ordered La Poutine Matin (breakfast poutine), but, really, we shared. So the Oeufs Bénédictine were delicious. Perhaps some of the best Hollandaise sauce I've ever had and there was this unexpected this slice of sharp cheddar under the ham. The potatoes is was served with was divine. Perhaps on the fruit salad was a bit disappointing. The poutine was also quite exceptional. The gravy was lovely and I'd imagine that means the regular poutine is lovely as well. This one, instead of fried, has the roasted potatoes served with lunch, a poached egg, a bunch of tiny sausages and a piece of bacon in with the gravy and the cheese curds. Divine. The gravy could have been hotter because the curds never got melty but it was too delicious to matter. The coffee here was also very good. Despite the delicious food and charming atmosphere, where Le Pourvoyeur really excels was service. We never wanted for refills on coffee or water. We were left alone when we wished to linger and whisked away when we wished to leave. And, when I was having trouble reaching a local Yelper/friend about meeting for coffee because my stupid American phone and my friend's stupid American phone both lacked service, our server stepped up and leant us her personal phone to reach him. This was unexpected and we were grateful. Le Pourvoyeur is a top notch establishment across the board. (And they take credit cards!) read more

Good mood, nighttime there is only a small menu. I took the fish and ship and it was very good. So if you want to have a beer (they have a decent choice, but they don't do their own beer), and have a little snack it's good ! From what i heard their poutine is excellent ( will try it soon !). The staff is doing a good job to keep the mood at a good level ! Bon petit pub, pas beaucoup de choix de menu le soir. J'ai pris le fish and ship et j'ai trouvé ça excellent ! Donc si vous voulez prendre un petit snack avec une bonne bière c'est un bon endroit à visiter. Le personnel aide le pub à avoir une bonne ambiance. Il semble que la poutine aussi est très bonne ( je vais l'essayer bientôt !). read more

We came here for the Piger Henricus gin tasting and ended up discovering an awesome spot. I'm telling you right off the bat though, that the reason I'm taking away one star is because the men's bathroom's door opens by itself and we had to constantly see guys peeing during our meal. Nope. No thank you! The place is nice, like any normal bar. My friends and I like gin so we really enjoyed the gin list. The staff is great! Very aware and alert even though it was a total mad house. Now, the food. Honestly, we didn't expect much and we were pleasantly surprised, in a very very good way. Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted delicious. We took the pork cheek, duck confit, signature burger, Ungava gin gravlax and nachos (though we should have stopped right before the nachos lol!!! Yes, that's right, we ordered nachos AFTER our meal lol!!!) I wpuld definitely recommend this place and would come back! :) read more

Haiku for Pourveuyeur : "Fun friends drinking gin Pourvoyeur Karaoke Yes Hallelujah" I never heard of Le Pourvoyeur until one of the Elites mentioned he was a regular here for Karaoking. So a bunch of us decided to check it out. We made reservations for 7:30 pm Since Karaoke starts at 8 pm. We were seated on the main floor and grabbed a couple of drinks before heading up to the second floor for karaoke. I had the Botanist for 10$- I know nothing about gin being a whiskey drinker but it was neat to see this place has such a wide variety of Gin all over the world. Kind of like the Burgundy Lion of Gin! Since the bars were different -we had to close our tabs downstairs before heading upstairs. There was a beautiful terrasse on the second floor that was too chilly for a September night. We were the only group upstairs. We were super happy to find 5$ food and drink specials for Karaoke Wednesday including 5$ appetizers (poutine- was decent sized but nothing exception, breaded chicken wings, mini pogos, nachos -tad dry but not complaints,etc) and 5$ gin & tonic (totally worth every dollar as they were generous with pouring the gin to tonic ratio!) We were getting impatient as the DJ, or the old sound system tech walked in past 9:30 pm. We had to type out our song selections since he couldn't hear us. They had 2 TV screens, a proction screen and 2 mics setup. Once the songs started rolling we had an awesome time. You could literally request any song- Thong Song-Sisqo, No Scrubs-TLC, Fill me in-Craig David, MIlk Shake- Kelis, Aladdin's a whole new world were some of my fave selections!! I wish the Karaoke started on time- unless I would've been able to stay longer on a work night. Only disadvantage. But great setup. Thanks Jon for the suggestion for the UYE! read more

Adjacent to the Marche Jean Talon, this place is a great place to stop for a beverage in between shopping for fresh food at the market. Le Pourvoyeur was highly recommended by a local and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, outdoor seating overlooking the market, and selection of gin. Quiet during the day and afternoon, but started getting busy around dinnertime. read more

Wonderful addition to the Jean Talon Market neighbourhood! This 'Pub Festif' has a ground-level covered patio on the north side of the market, and a second floor with wide open windows overlooking the sprawling vegetable stalls and nearby church spires. The interior is simple and lovely. The staff are bilingual and super friendly. The fries and poutine are tasty, and the pints of beer are most welcome. The rest of the food is a little underwhelming - maybe the presence of all that surrounding local goodness made me set my hopes too high, but I would love to be able to go to this pub and see new items on the menu featuring seasonal goodies and shoutouts to the farms and craftspeople being featured. read more

A good place to get some good drinks at the Jean-Talon market. I had the red sangria and the pomme Ungava drink - both delicious. The crab cakes were a nice treat as well. Our server was very jovial and spoke English very well. A pleasant surprise! They have a nice covered patio in the front as well. read more

Stylish wood and metal bar-pub on two floors, with loud but not raucous vibe and pleasant service. Our large party mostly ordered their poutines, which were inventive (shepherd's pie) if oversalted and sometimes a letdown (duck confit was a bit dry and not especially tasty, which is hard to manage when you're cooking something that fatty). The major disappointment was the range of mostly mediocre, occasionally terrible house beers. A promising "summer weizen" tasted like cough syrup - like with the duck confit, it was hard to fathom how that even happened. Unless someone is hosting a party here, there's nothing that would make me choose this place over El Rey del Taco next door for a meal, or Vices et Versa a few blocks away for pints. read more

I wasn't really expecting the chicken and waffles to be good, but it was! The only downside is that my girlfriend asked for a vegetarian version and basically got no food on her plate, it wasn't as filling as mine, but I don't really hold it against them. I mean, that's what she gets for being picky! Just kidding. Location is really nice too, I picked the outdoor sitting because it just seemed too dark indoors, but some people might be into that, it is partly a pub after all. read more

We sat on the sunny terrace at the back overlooking Jean Talon. The ambiance was very chill, servers were very nice and bilingual and attentive. I'm not a fan of straight gin but they had a nice selection of gin cocktails. Food (salmon tartare) was well balanced and presented. I probably shouldn't have gotten the vinegar dressing side salad in addition to the Tom Collins - that definitely dulled my taste buds a bit. read more

Food was mediocre and service was terrible - seated without menus (server came to ask for our order before we ever got menus), food took forever to arrive, one of the corn dog bites had a broken stick inside, and we had to go up to the bar to pay because it took so long for the check to arrive. The establishment wasn't even busy. 2/5 only because the food was still edible and the servers, when they came, were amicable. read more

Well situated in the Jean-Talon Market, it's a nice place to go for a beer, but also to eat a good, and tasty meal. It was not my first experience at Le Pourvoyeur, but I went there for breakfast this morning with the Yelp Poutine Committee. Yes, you read it right, they had a breakfast poutine. As weird as it sounds, it was very good. It's basically everything you usually have in a regular breakfast: potatoes, cheese, bacon, sausages, gravy, and.... an egg. The venue is great with a good covered patio in the back, giving you a view on the market itself, but at the same time, it makes it, in the summer, a bit noisy. I went there two times, and the service has always been good. Notice also that because of the market, it's hard to find a good parking near the restaurant, and the traffic is usually dense during the weekend. Still a good place to go before doing some grocery shopping at the market. read more

This is a great place for carpaccio, and by that I mean deer carpaccio. I've never had. They also have bison tartare. The deer carpaccio is truly fantastic. I'm giving 4 stars for originality. Also, you can walk next door to the market and buy meats, cheeses, maple...deer sausage, whatever you want. read more

Late night dinner at Le Pourvoyeur on a busy Wednesday night with a friend. We had been sitting for quite a while until a waiter showed up with the menu (which we had had since we had sat down). We ordered a pitcher of beer (22$) and a fish and chips. The fish was fresh and the fries were fine but for 14$ I was expecting more food on my plate. Would definitely come back as the location is golden! read more

Best mini pogos, EVER? I think so. I'm definitely coming back both for the food AND drinks. I'm not normally a cocktail drinker, but I enjoyed many of their great concoctions. The beers looked delicious and perfectly chilled, sadly I didn't have the time to try any! The bartenders here are super cool, laid back, funny, friendly, and just great to deal with all in all. Great service is key, and Le Pourvoyeur exercises that! I wish it wasn't so far from where I live, but I will definitely be making a return. read more

Avoid the brunch. Service was extremely slow, though we arrived on a Sunday at 11:30 and the place was far from packed. My grilled cheese was nothing to write home about. My coffee was below average. Sad truth is everything looks and tastes better at your run-of-the-mill Cora :( read more

If you are looking for a great place to take a break from shopping at the Jean Talon market, definitely venture inside. On a hot afternoon, I recommend the Gin tasting -- three different gins, paired with tonic or seltzer on the side. Beautiful that you can add no, some or lots of tonic/seltzer to your gin depending on your taste... The bartender was fantastic, explained each gin's variety, history and taste. She was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I would give this place four stars based on the bar experience alone. However, since I didn't try anything off the food menu and can't speak about the food, I decided to give the establishment three stars. read more

I've only ever had the pleasure of visiting Le Pourvoyeur during the evening, but every experience I've had thus far has left my inner-gin-sipping-elderly-man squealing with glee. The first time I visited this bar my friend admitted to our waiter that she knew nothing about gin and was apprehensive. He carefully took the time to explain to her how to enjoy gin and recommended an easy-sipping selection that left her, at the end of the evening, a regular gin fan. I was impressed. Also, the decor and layout to this place is tasteful yet unpretentious and I'm sure it gets better with daylight. Seriously, I couldn't be more pleased that there's a good gin bar on the island. read more

This review is for their NYE party, not the food. I was not looking forward to going out because places like these overcharge just because it's NYE and they can. I stood in line and grudgingly gave them my $20, and they handed me two tickets. Figured one was for admission, but then my friends told me that it was for a shot and a beer! Woot!!! It just pretty much paid itself off, and from there I was ready to ring in the new year~~~ Got upstairs and they even had coat check. Music was bumpin and I danced so hard my calves and arms were sore the next day. Way to burn the poutine I'd eaten all trip long. When a friend went out for a ciggie, the bouncers even gave us blankets to wrap ourselves in. THAT is NYE service. Loved it! Had a blast! Sophie, thanks for choosing this place :) read more

My friend and I were supposed to go work in a café for some school project. It was 9pm, the Habs game was playing so we decided we would go elsewhere. We went to Le Pourvoyeur on the spot and we loved it! My friend got a Gin Tonic and the presentation - Yes, presentation. On a Gin Tonic - Was very cool. The drink was also tasty and great. My plate was yuuuum! I got the Porc Smoked Meat sandwich and I would say it was very, very good! The price was a little iffy, at 20$ for a plate with fries and a Coke, but I am not complaining one bit otherwise. The vibe was pretty chill and the music was appropriate. To top it off, our server was extremely friendly and we loved our time! Would definitively go back there for a chill 5-7, or to work our Excel spreadsheets! read more

Went in there big knowing much about Gin (other than Beefeater and Bombay, which lets be honest taste a bit like rubbing alcohol). Loved the comprehensive menu, it listed the flavour profile and feel of each gin. The staff is tremendously knowledgeable and super helpful. Each gin is served with a garnish to compliment its flavor profile. And the waiter recommended how it should be consumed (Tonic/ Soda) I even discovered a few that tasted amazing straight. Officially a gin convert. There is a decent food menu. Bar classics like pogos burgers, nuts, olives... classics slightly elevated without being pretentious! Cheers! read more
