    I was there yesterday for a meeting and I was very disappointed to see their notice all over the place which essentially says, "1.5 hour max sitting/drink; 2.5 hour max sitting per meal". I understand people sometimes go there and work too long while ordering just a coffee or so. But putting such notice almost beside each table is disrespectful to customers and sounds too desperate. I would rather appreciate if the owner focuses on improving their watery latte (is it even a latte)? The place is a nice spot to work but their coffee, latte or any hot beverage is just awful. And the owner and stuff keep coming and check if everyone ordered something. Update: I had to go there again today because I had to meet someone. I had to order something as per their rule and I got a filter coffee. The first thing I felt after my first sip is that how does this place still run business here? And second thought was it was so bad that the badness will kill your drowsiness rather than the caffeine. Also they charge 25cent for tap water now

    Came to Montreal one night and didn't want to pay for an extra nights accommodation so decided to spent the night here. This place is lovely inside and out. I came around 1am and stayed until 8am spending time on my computer and dozing off. It was very quiet and two other people had the same idea as me and they slept as well. It was a very quiet and clean place. Theres outlets and wifi making this the optimal study spot. I had the London fog which was very standard. I can't comment too much on the food and coffee, or else i would be tempted to give this place a 5/5. Pros- 24 hours Amazing study space Free Wifi People sleep Clean Would i return? Definetly!

    Plenty of space to work (multiple outlets along each wall), as well as a table reserved for laptop-free seating

    Wide variety of items on the menu--omelettes, waffles, hot & cold sandwiches, coffee, pizzas, wraps, and pastries. A lovely place to get some work done. There are plenty of outlets around and the free WiFi is fast. Their breakfast pizza is a great deal! 3 eggs on a personal-sized pizza with arugula on top. Plenty filling, I came super hungry and had a slice leftover. Cafe policy politely states that folks purchase a drink if they plan to stay less than hours, and those who purchase a meal are welcome to stay for an unlimited time.

    Good location to study and tables for groups .. latte 2.50 on Tuesdays.. staff was nice.. that's about all I have to say that's remotely positive unfortunately.. the almond croissant is worst then one I would get it IGA and the coffee is worst then a Keurig cup .. It's too bad they don't have BYOC (bring your own coffee) then I'd come back to study..

    I was in total shock when I walked by what used to be a 24 hour Second Cup and saw that it was being replaced by Milton B, a 24 hour urban cafeteria. The Second Cup had been there ever since I first step foot on McGill campus way back when. It was a very popular study spot with the McGill crowd given its operating hours and proximity to the campus. Everybody came here when they were a student be it to study or fuel up for a long night of partying. Anyways, enough nostalgia and on to what I came here to do which is to review the business. Being an urban cafeteria you can expect food like sandwiches and salads. I have been twice now and on both times the sandwiches could have been a little better. The first time I came I had a bocconcini pesto sandwich which needed to be toasted longer because the cheese had only half melted. The second time around I had an apple brie grilled cheese sandwich which was better except they used raisin bread which I found a little odd. I also noticed that the first time I went the salad selection was a little lacklustre but on my return visit it had improved, which makes me think that they were still trying to work out the kinks of being a new business. The salads are pretty tasty for the most part. You can get salads that are substantial enough to be a whole meal or smaller ones to accompany a sandwich. They also have a variety of baked goods and sweets if you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth. In general the ones that I have tried have been quite fresh and delicious. I enjoyed them and they did satisfy my craving for something sweet. When it comes to prices they are what you would expect to pay downtown. Depending on what you order you can easily get a filling lunch for somewhere between $10 and $15, which is what you can expect to pay in this area of Montreal. I do feel that you get your money's worth here. The portions are ample and the quality of the food is pretty good. While this isn't a place offering super cheap eats I can see it doing well with the McGill crowd. Given the fact that it is a 24 hour place and that they offer coffee and food it would make for a good study spot. Even if you are not student it is worth checking Milton B out because they do offer a better alternative to some of the other food court fare that exists downtown.

    Milton B replaces the iconic second cup cafe at the du parc street. I have spend many a study/recreational hours at the previos second cup. So when Milton B opened finally after the long wait, I was one of the few first ones to check it out. The ambience of the plcae is refreshing, bright and beautifully furnished with light wood chic furniture. I would definitely be a regular here as well. They offer the normal tea/cafe options with a variety of eating options as well.

    I had the London Fog which taste more milk than tea but other than that the place is a good place to study and hangout with friends.

    Finally a place where Wi-Fi works in this city, and finally a local coffee shop owner that apparently understands the importance of reliable Wi-Fi. Terrace has always been awesome, and still is. Great 24h location.

    Friendly staff wrote "you're the best" on the plate to encourage me during exams season.

We stayed…read moreat Le Mount Stephen Hotel without doing much research on dining options, assuming we'd just find something nearby. But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!

I admired the ambiance as we were shown to our table. It was full, and noisy, but so much that we couldn't talk to each other. Bonus points for whoever designed the sound system that played 80s music during our visit. Enough speakers to fill the room with sound, and the system didn't need to played loud to be enjoyed. Coffee was superb. Just the right strength, with lovely notes of chocolate. I had the chicken melt, which was incredible. Real chicken pieces, sauce with a touch of heat, and toppings with just the right amount of savoury. Her panini was equally good. The star of the meal was the french roast. Heated all the way through, with the right balance of fruit, cheese, and syrop.

I stayed there recently, and on the morning of my check-out I received a phone call with devastating news about a life-threatening medical emergency in my immediate family. I was on the phone trying to resolve the problem with Emergency Room doctors and lost track of the time. When I received a call from the hotel management to inform me that I had overstayed my time in the room, I raced at lightening speed to clear out of the room. Minutes later, I cleared out of the room, which I left immaculate and ready to be sold to another guest. I departed the room well before the 4pm check-in time for new guests; I checked out just 2 hours late (literally it was 2 hours). They nonetheless slapped me with a $60 fine for this very small, very human error. It was one of the worst days of my life, I was in tears and begged them not to charge me. I am also disabled and they not only refused to remove the $60 fine, they also did not help me with my bags when my taxi came, they let me limp and drag my own luggage to the curb. I am beyond shocked at this cruelty and greed, at this utter lack of compassion and inability to relate to a fellow human being as anything other than a cash cow. I will never forget being treated this way when I was in distress. Also the breakfast is terrible and overpriced; the coffee was cold, the fruit was flavorless and dried out, there were few fresh and healthy choices, mostly ultra processed yoghurt and cereals, commercialized white bread. All for $25, way too much in a city with such incredible food. I do not enjoy giving negative reviews, and I tried to resolve this both in person and on the phone subsequently and was met with cold indifference at every turn.

Literally melted in my mouth. The foie gras had a beautiful sear and was rich and silky, with a texture that honestly reminded me of ice cream. There was also a touch of sweetness in the sauce that cut through the richness in the best way. Every bite was perfectly balanced. I was super impressed and will absolutely try to visit again the next time I'm in Montreal.
