I don't know if my original review of Darling might have been lost, or whether I simply forgot to…read morecreate it, but this restaurant is too good to not write that review. It's a fun place to dine, and I'm not just saying that because we were able to order a pitcher of Aperol spritz (okay, maybe a little). The atmosphere here is just plain fun, and the decor is cool, especially that circular bar in the middle. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The polenta fries were delicious and paired well with the tomato salad. It continued with my Grilled Half Cornouailles Chicken, with chimichurri, and it finished with the Basque Cheesecake. Darling is likely to become a regular favorite on future trips to Montreal.

Escargot in skewers with the most delicious broth- BRILLIANT! The ravioli was so simple but yet so tasty and delicious. I of course enjoyed my steak ans it was cooked for perfection. That salad-- idk what kind of dressing it was but it paired so well with the whole dish. I loved everything about this place and I highly recommend going here if ever in Montreal.

The Coldroom is a fantastic bar and definitely worth visiting. We actually ended up going twice…read moreduring our trip, and each visit was a little different. The first time, the music was extremely loud, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. The bar was completely packed, and there was only one bartender making drinks, so the wait was a bit longer than expected. We decided to give it another try, and I'm so glad we did. The second visit was amazing! The bartender working that night was incredible--she clearly knows her craft and made our drinks quickly without sacrificing quality. Every cocktail was delicious, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Coldroom. My only suggestion would be that, with a space that busy, the bar could really benefit from having an additional bartender during peak hours. It would help keep wait times down and make an already great experience even better.

A lot of places were packed, but we were fortunate to snag the couch at the front of Vestiarie right when we got in! We were super glad we checked them out because it had everything we were looking for. First, the craft selection was on point and quite ample. The NEIPA's I had were spot on. But for the rest of the group, who were not interested in beer, they also had a selection of cocktails and wine. And it was just a nice spot--yes, it was lively, but it wasn't over-bearing. You could still have a quiet conversation and hear everyone in the group. If that's your thing, would highly recommend.

The drinks are $10 - $20 for one. $20 for a large sized drink. They have a pretty good drink selection here. I tried a couple of their cocktails and they are OVERLY SWEET in general. I had never had such sweet cocktails in New York. I ordered the Miss Spritz and Mohawk cocktails. They are decent but I found it hard to finish the drinks since was so sweet. It was the same with my cousin N's drinks (Pepito Pasteque and Super Mario) too. I would advise the bartender to make the drinks less sweet by like 50 or 70% if I were you. There was no wait to get in here and there were plenty of seats. The lighting in this place is very dim and you can actually talk and hear what your friends are saying in this place. FYI - This is a BYOF - Bring Your Own Food kind of place. I noticed a group next to us brought 4 pizza pies in. Overall, it's a decent place to hang out with friends.
