They curate whatever drinks based on your preferences, including sweetness, fruitiness, etc. They ask you about your preferences, and then based on that they have a designated drink ready. It is not in a traditional menu where you order it which makes it all the more fun! The vibes were immaculate and very clean, the service was fairly nice even though they were busy. Drinks run $20 each and we're all amazing!

The Cloakroom Bar came at the recommendation of one of my colleagues as a place to check out in…read moreMontreal. I'm a fan of cocktail bars, and after reading up on this spot I made it my intention to check it out. It just so happened that it was a short walk from my hotel, so we decided to check it out one night before heading to dinner. The Cloakroom is a speakeasy, nestled behind a hidden door in a men's clothing shop. In the line of being a speakeasy, the space is small - there are only 24 seats but since we got there right at opening we were seated right away. The space is dark and intimate, with the bottles of liquor lit up behind the bar providing an attractive focal point. One of the more unique features of the bar is that there's no menu; we told our server the types of liquors we wanted along with the flavor notes and they crafted a cocktail based on our tastes. We ultimately had two rounds; my first drink was vodka-based and fruity, while I went with something gin-based and dryer. Both were very good - there's little fanfare with presentation; the bartenders let the drinks speak for themselves. Service was great; due to the setup, each patron is given extra attention which really highlighted the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at The Cloakroom Bar. This was definitely a unique experience with excellent curated drinks. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Montreal.

They have a carousel style bar in the middle where we posted up at but they also having plenty of seating in the dining room as well as a coffee bar in the front. Bar Darling is doing the most, but I am seated for it. My experience at Darling could be described as my perfect day - a break from walking in delicious fall weather, French wine, oysters, french fries, and good company. This is the kind of spot you can find yourself here for the whole day without noticing. It has the vibe that you are in someone's house who has 100 stories to tell, and I love places like that. Will be thinking about this visit for a while, and wish I was closer to enjoy the bar more!

Tucked away with a beautiful terrasse in the back, it's the kind of place you'd almost miss--but absolutely shouldn't. The service was fantastic from start to finish--attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. The food was equally impressive. Everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with portions that are just right. The beef and mushroom tartare was a standout--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--and the braised lamb cavatelli was simply outstanding. The lemon tiramisu for dessert was the best ive ever had. Overall, a fantastic experience. Can't wait to come back!

The starters were a bit expensive, but the mains were reasonable. We ordered the BBQ Pork Chops served with grelots (smashed small potatoes) and Club 51 handhelds (sandwiches) with fries. The pork chop was perfectly cooked. Not over or not too raw, it's pink. The smashed potato was marinated (maybe) and the skin crispy, we liked the skin more. The sandwich was fine, there were different meat inside with marinated tomatoes, cheese and sliced green apples. Both dishes were good. We expected to have family washroom for baby diaper changing, but they only have changing table at lady's. Outside there is a big parking lot. That's what we like.

This is one of those spots you've walked by and wondered about. It's tiny and has no sign. It's simple and lovely inside and has been around for 5 years, it's like a little secret and please note - it would like to stay that way in order to keep a crowd of regulars who are calm and kind and friendly. Please only come here if you are in that mode. I had a lovely Old Fashioned and then we shared a bottle of dry, clean cider - not too sweet, two pints worth for $15, I'm not usually a cider drinker but was so happy with this choice on a hot day. There is also AC, deeply welcome during these melting August days. Tiny simple patio out front, gender neutral bathrooms, small select wine list, affordable basic beers and cocktails, a bartender who knows the name of his mailman and offers him a drink when he comes in.
