    Brunch! Omelette with bacon, mushrooms, potatoes.
    Vic G.

    What a fantastic place to have brunch or any meal for that matter. I was very impressed with my maiden visit to Rebel and the wonderful late afternoon brunch that we had this past weekend. This place came on tops in every aspect. Ambiance: What can beat sitting outside on a balmy summer afternoon, under the shade of the umbrella, watching the world go by (in this case the very mixed and yet very interesting crowd one gets to watch on Rue Saint Catherine)? That is exactly what we did. Although, they have an equally impressive indoor space with a very modern design and definitely a very cool vibe. The tables outside are placed for couples' seating but can be quickly combined for a bigger group. Food: The menu is quite extensive. And the brunch omelets being served in cast iron dishes seemed really appealing. So we went for the same, And some mimosas to begin the afternoon. The french bread served with butter in a small covered bottle was really good. And the omelet was definitely the best part. Right out of the oven, the hot cast iron dish kept the omelet warm for a long long time. Fluffy and perfectly done, all the ingredients were cooked to perfection. The potatoes on the side were done right as well. Couldn't have asked for a better meal. I had to gulp down my mimosa rather quickly as it all of a sudden became sweltering hot mid way through our already warm meal. No complains though :) Service: Top notch. Everyone was very nice and polite and there wasn't a time when we felt there was either too little or too much attention being given - to us or to any of the guests. It was just the right balance. Our waiter was sure to check upon us that everything was good and up to the mark. Really nice set of people working here. Overall, this place is one of the best places that I ate at during our very short but so much fun long weekend here in Montreal. These guys know how to run a good show and hope they keep up the excellent gig going till we visit again!

    One of the best meals of my life. The salmon was perfectly prepared. One friend has the burger with homemade friend, and the other a French version of a ham and cheese sandwich. The pomme frites were the absolute best I've ever had!!! You MUST eat here!!!

    Early in the evening.

    This my third time at this restaurant. The drinks are very original and tasty. Well described. Had the lamb shank this time and the duck confit sandwich the first time. My server, Thomas, was welcoming and spoke excellent fluent English which was helpful.

    Excellent beer selection. Very pleasant service. Relaxed atmosphere. My group ordered the beef tartar, I did not try it but it looked splendid

    Duck risotto-delicious!!
    Mieke W.

    This meal was one if the best that I have had. I had the duck risotto which was not on the menu, but was the special of the night. I was NOT disappointed. The service was good and the menu had English notes for us non-French diners. I would also highly recommend the beef tart-tar! Fantastic! The only reason I removed a star is because after we paid our bill, the waitress let us know that the service was not included in the bill. We had already left her tip on the table, so it rubbed me wrong that the waitress felt she should ( and could?) ASK for a tip. A small thing at the end of a great meal but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

    The dessert poutine is to die for...fried pineapples caramel and cheese cake

    I'm not a big fan of restaurants of the village since they always end up trying to hard to be trendy and forget to focus on the actual food but I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, food and service. Highly recommend it! Salmon tartar was excellent and so was the Beef Carpaccio....And the DESSERT POUTINE IS A MUST.

    Laurence, one of the outstanding waiters at the Rebel Brasserie Urbaine. Ask for him and tip him well!

    The Rebel Brasserie Urbaine is part of the gay Skye entertainment comlex, but the restaurant clientele seemed to be mixed when I was there for lunch recently. For those with long memories, this place used to be called "Food." It's been completely redone and the menu has been upgraded, although I miss Food's sushi bar. The new room is sleek and modern. There's copious outdoor dining as well. For lunch I had a delicious salmon tartare, a filling burger de poulet et canard, and an excellent cup of coffee. As befitting a gay venue, the wait staff ranges from pretty to gorgeous. But, unlike their New York and Los Angeles counterparts, the boys are without snotty attitudes. My waiter Laurence was not only fetching, but attentive and courteous. Perfectly bilingual and a student at McGill, he was intelligent and friendly. Laurence added to the ambiance of the whole experience.

There are 2 sides of the restaurant: the more casual order what you want brasserie side and then the fancier multi-course chef menu side. I chose the brasserie side, where I had a reservation for a bar seat - turns out that wasn't really that necessary as there were several individual bar seats open; A group would probably have a difficult time getting a seat on a Friday evening though. For drinks, I had a paper plane and a last word. Those are my two go to cocktails for nicer bars, and they pulled them off fantastically (they also knew what I was talking about which is kind of rare for the last word). For an extra nice touch, they clipped an actual paper plane to the paper plane drink. Fun! For food, I ordered the Duck Confit. It was super crispy on the outside, but the meat was super tender and juicy and melted off of the bone. My mouth is watering while thinking about it. It also came with bread service. For dessert I had the tiramisu. I would give it a 4/5 - it was a little more bland than others I've had - not bad at all, but not my favorite one of all time. They seem to be serious about their coffee (see pictures). Since I was sitting right in front of it I had to order one to go with the tiramisu. I had a basic americano, and it was a great addition. My only real complaint is the bar seating felt a little bit exposed as the main walkway through the restaurant goes along the bar seating. Drinks 5/5, Service 5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5

It's part of a hotel, so you have to enter the hotel to enter the restaurant. It was a little confusing knowing where to go to get seated / if you should just seat yourself; but there was a host that would come to the front door to seat you. Service was quite slow. They didn't seem all that busy as there were maybe 3-4 tables per server. It took a while to be acknowledged, 10+ minutes to get coffee after ordering, and 15-20 minutes for the omelette to finally make its way out. The omelette was evenly cooked and fluffy, but it was a bit bland. The bacon was served on the side, and that is where all of the flavor was for the omelette. I was in a hurry, otherwise I would have requested hot sauce or something to help out the eggs. The coffee wasn't the greatest. I had a lot of seriously good americanos in Montreal, but this one felt watery and almost like it was reheated. Better than nothing first thing in the morning, but there are plenty of other options around with better coffee. I wouldn't be upset to eat here again, but I don't think I would choose it over many of the other great options in the area.

    Got to try some delicious food during my short weekend trip to Montreal Quebec…read more A friend organized a lunch for everyone before we all headed to the airport and funny enough this restaurant was in the hotel my friend and i stayed at. The restaurant was super quiet when we went as it was a Monday afternoon when most people were probably at work. The interior was quite elegant very clean and royalty looking. The service was 10/10. Waiter was very attentive and we could tell he paid attention to detail. He gave great food recommendations and definitely had knowledge of what's on the menu. Now as for how the food and prices were? Prices i'd say are pretty standard and reasonable. The squash soup was so yum and comforting. It had a puree texture to it. Good serving size. I would order it again! We obviously had to have some mimosas and yes we paired it with orange juice. The duck confit may have been a bit too much for me. Large portion and i couldn't even finish half of it. But it wasn't dry and the veggies had a nice crunch and the lentils were very filling and healthy. The flavour notes all went together but i'd definitely say the dish was more on the healthier side. The chicken supreme on the other hand .. although healthy it was still cheesy and buttery. Considering it was chicken breast it didn't even taste dry so i definitely appreciated that. The risotto paired with it was the star of the show! The restaurant takes resos online and they do have brunch on the weekends, happy hour menu looks promising. If i'm ever in town again and in the area i'd want to try their happy hour or chacuterie spread!

    We were traveling most of the day and exhausted, debated room service or going downstairs, we were…read morepleasantly surprised at how good the food and service are. (Hotel restaurants, can be good/bad) We were definitely not dressed up which I was worried about but it wasn't an issue, we started with beef carpaccio and charcuterie, the pate was absolutely amazing as were all the cured meats. The beef carpaccio, was for me a little bland, I would have hit it with a touch of salt, but once you got a piece th at had balsamic drizzle it really opened it up and changed my mind. (I wish there was a little more of the balsamic. My husband had the Cornish hen, and I had the filet mignon, both were absolutely amazing, I even stole a little of his Bleu cheese for my steak. Steak was cooked perfectly, the sides were amazing. Our server was on point, his name was Pedro, I had asked him to send out a dessert privately and it was our 1 year anniversary, even though we were not dressed for the occasion as we were both exhausted from travel, We will probably be in for lunch tomorrow!

Both were show stoppers: the chicken was crunchy and crispy without tasting dry or over seasoned, and the burrata was creamy, served with toasted bread that meshed well with the green goddess dressing and fresh veggies. The reason we came to Le Réservoir was for the beer, and it did not disappoint. I had the best beer of our visit at Le Réservoir - a pineapple sour. It was honestly one of the top five best beers I've ever had. I'll remember this one for a while! I love everything about our dinner at Le Réservoir.
