I'd been here a few years ago and really enjoyed the food but this time around, my breakfast dish was meh. I had l'archevêque (The Bishop in English) breakfast plate. It has 3 slices of ham (good and cooked in maple syrup I think), crispy bacon, sausages, eggs, baked beans and breakfast potatoes. The eggs were runny and solid at the same time which I didn't like while the potatoes were seemingly undercooked on the inside but fried on the outside. Their sausages were alright. Basically, only the beans, bacon and ham were good. The duck poutine beer sauce was delicious but heavy as you can imagine. The beet salad was fresh and nicely marinated. They offer a generous pint sized glass of cider based mimosas. On weekends, they offer an all you can eat breakfast for $35 with up to 10 drinks. How it works is they bring your table plates to share. We didn't try that since we weren't that hungry. read more

This is B's favorite craft brewery so far. Their food is super tasty. We came here and ordered the beef burger to share. Holy moly that was delicious. I suggest going between 11am and 2 pm if you are here for food. You can get a meal for $18 with a dessert. Unfortunately, we showed up after 2 pm. B tried variety of beers (2 flights of 4 beers each and 2 glasses) and omg every one of them were very flavorful. He said that so far this is the best craft brewery on our 2022 vacation trip and up to now they have the best beer that he has ever tasted. He said he would definitely be back next time he is in Montreal. The service was great here. Everything was top notch. read more

While walking in Montreal, we randomly came across Saint-Houblon. We decided to stop to get a few beers and to warm-up our bodies. At first when we arrived, the place was almost empty. But boy did that change (and I can see why!) This place is a gem! The service was amazing (thanks to our Server Martin)! My favorite beer was the Assemblage #1 and my favorite shot was the pickle/vodka shot (my mind was blown)! Although my trip to Montreal did not go out with a "bang" like I had planned, Saint-Houblon definitely made my trip to Montreal more rememberable. Until next time, Saint-Houblon! read more

this brewery is awesome. the selection of beer is overwelming, but tastes so good. i had to come back 2 times while in town to hit all of the sours i wanted.great service and loud atmosphere. its fairly small and will get packed, so keep that in mind. the food smells amazing, but i didnt get a chance to eat. i would come back in a heartbeat. read more

Saint-Houblon - They don't do traditional flights but u can do tastings. They have so many sours. I love their beer - Brewpubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Usually microbreweries offer a rather limited meal plates. Everyone of them offer burgers and pizza pretty bland imo. But st-Houblon offers more quality in that dept. I had a salmon bowl that was as good as most of the restaurants in Montréal. There was enough salmon and everything was fresh. And it's without talking of the main purpose of this pub, the beer offer is always excellent, I had a red beer called like the NHL goaler Marc André Fleury Lol that was excellent ! Habituellement les microbrasseries offre un choix assez limité de plats. La plupart offre des burgers, de la pizza ce qui est assez fade à mon goût Au Saint-Houblon l'offre est de plus grande qualité. Mon bol de saumon était aussi bon que dans n'importe quel restaurant de Montréal. Il y avait assez de saumon et tout les ingrédients étaient très frais. Et, c'est sans parler du but premier de ce pub : les bières. L'offre de bière est toujours excellente. J'ai goûté une bière rousse appelée Comme le célèbre gardien de la NHL Marc André Fleuryet elle était excellente ! read more

We came here on Saturday January 19th, a group of 4 who indulged in a variety of food and drinks. We made a reservation online the day prior and everything went flawlessly. The customer service through Facebook chat is also amazing as I asked some questions on FB messaging and they replied within minutes. we were seated on the main floor of this St-Denis location although there is an upper floor and basement I believe. Saint Houblon looks like a typical bar but the menu and offerings are that of a gastropub. A mix of stools, communal table, booths and regular chairs adorn the space, high celings and a warm wooden vibe give it a rustic feel. The menu and beer selection is quite impressive. I highly recommend getting the beer sampler, for around 10$ you can choose 4 different flavors. All food and drink options are available online as well. The beer selection is posted on tv screens across the restaurant however these can be hard to read therefore it's a good idea to pull out your phone and consult the menu beforehand. They had 24 different types and there are always some seasonal changes. Saint Houblon prides itself in delivering a farm to table concept, using their own fresh vegetables from their greenhouses when possible. The food is refined and different from your typical bar offerings. The nachos for example contained a delicious olive and mushroom tapenade with a light bechamel sauce, not your orange cheesy mess. The mac and cheese was adorned with your choice of vegetables or in my case tender shawarma beef strips and a cilantro mint sauce. The potatoes are seaoned with black garlic and tangy sauce, the fried chicken also has a choice of oriental flavors and soy based or schezuan sauce. Truly, everything I sampled was unique and delicious. Saint Houblon exceeded my expectations. They even offer an all-you-can-eat brunch for 35$ (or 25$ during winter months) that includes unlimited food and alcohol! This is unheard of. The quality of the food and pricing is more than fair, I would definitely come back. Only let down is the extremely cold dining area. The main entrance unfortunately lets in a lot of freezing air during the winter. The lighting is also incredibly dim. read more

Decent place to get out of the cold and get some beer. The raspberry hose was decent as was the german maibock. Our friend's Hefeweizen had a weird smoky element that was a bit off-putting and the other red ale we ordered was just so-so. The woman serving us drinks was very nice. read more

Was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! Your standard pub food but better. The star of the meal was probably the SHwings nachos - the kind of nachos that are properly mixed with toppings / cheese incorporated throughout & not just poured on top! Our party arrived at 5:30pm so were seated immeadiately. It got super busy around 6:15pm on a Monday night. Service was amazing - 10/10! read more

You can't find a better lunch deal in Montreal...buy an entree, and your first beer is only $1! Inside is a slightly worn but nice rustic brewery setting, giving it a casual yet distinguished atmosphere. The Quebecois ladies will quickly and kindly switch to English once you open your touristy mouth. I think there were 30 something craft beers available on tap, most were reasonably priced at $4-6 in case you want that second beer. VISIT #1: $15 Mac N Cheese with beef brisket...its huge and delicious! The beef is marinated in some sort of secret sweet deliciousness, and cooked tenderly. Probably one of the best mac n cheese's ever! VISIT #2: $15 Poutine with beef brisket...generous portions of that same tasty beef on top of a generous portion of golden frites and cheesy cheese curds, topped with that lovely Canadian poutine gravy. The wife also had the lamb burger and a fried chicken sandwich, both were also savory and delectable. I almost had to knock down a star, the place was never more than a third full, but the food took over 30 minutes. Maybe its just made with extra Canadian care and love, but if you're in a hurry you might need to eat elsewhere. read more

Saint-Houblon is, without a doubt, one of the best bars in Montreal and my number 1 go-to place for a night with friends. I've been going to Saint-Houblon since my university days and took a long time to write a review because I want to give proper credit to this glorious institution. They have a amazing selection of beer, cocktails, and wine for all tastes and moods. The food is excellent from Brunch to Supper. While it is typical bar food, you will never leave this place hungry. The atmosphere is lively and cheerful and the staff are very helpful and accommodating. We once had to wait at the door for a table to free up and they brought us some beer samples to taste while we waited. However, the best thing about Saint-Houblon is their all-you-can-eat and drink brunch. You have options of traditional or vegan options that includes mini-pogo sticks, vegan eggs, breakfast oatmeal, French toasts, and bacon. You can mix and try the items before ordering more! Everyone who works there is so friendly and so welcoming. I never feel more at home than at Saint-Houblon! read more

I'd rate it 4 overall. Went for bottomless brunch with 2 friends. Seating outside was uncomfortable since only a few tables had shade, and some chairs were awkwardly low, so we sat inside instead. The food was average, with some good items and some poor ones. Go for the drinks and social aspect, less so for the food. Good: eggs benedict (delicious), rillettes, cretons, sausage, bacon (pretty standard), potatoes Not good: waffles (hard and chewy, burnt), scrambled eggs (overcooked and unseasoned), unremarkable pancakes, dry and overcooked chicken Good selection of beers. We enjoyed the mimosas as well (drinks included in price) Service was spotty, and it was hard to get a hold of a server sometimes. But overall they were very friendly and were even kind enough to let us stay for 3 hours! The place was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon. Bathrooms are upstairs and decently clean. Altogether we spend about 40$ each after tax and tip. read more

This place was pretty packed, compared to the surrounding establishments, so it is certainly popular. They were able to seat us right away, despite being busy. We were packed in pretty tight on a small table but it was nice to sit down. They were out of IPA style beers, and we tried a few others. I settled on a Belgian blonde, which was good. My wife couldn't find anything to her taste. I asked the server if he would bring her a couple tasters of different ciders, which they seemed to have a lot of. He must have forgotten because he never brought them. The menu was a little bit limited, but the burger was very good. We also got a cheese plate, but it didn't come out with bread at first. We mentioned that to the server, and he quickly brought us some warm bread. Then we noticed it also did not come with honey, which it was supposed to. So certainly some mixed results on the food. It was a little too loud for me, but not obnoxious or rowdy. I would've liked to have rated this place a little higher, but being a brewpub and not having any IPA and then not delivering an appetizer correctly left me a little disappointed. read more

Very bad food. We used to go there often and we ordered during the first lockdown in April. The food was great. Just reordered and the food is horrible. The meet is beyond overcooked it's bitter, the fries are all cold, the buns look like buns from a dollar store. For the price you pay quality is similar to a McDonald's that would have cost me a quarter of the price. We will never go there anymore. read more

Saint-Houblon - Brunt meet in the burger! - Brewpubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My friends and I came to Saint-Houblon purely based off of an instagram post The idea of bottomless brunch or buffet only works when it's efficient. The wait time between rounds is VERY {Veryyyyyy} long (like an hour). When the food finally came there was still more waiting, we had the food but no syrup or ketchup...had to flag down the waiter. The first round of food was disappointing, the waffles were burnt. The food is okay! Salad was fresh with pickled beets and carrots. Mushroom quiche was over baked but my friends think the Quiche Mexicaine was great; plus the bacon and the sausage was a hit for them. Chicken & waffles wasn't the best nor the worst... I liked the toast and bagels with cream cheese & scallions. Now the mimosas were great, also enjoyed some beer. Overall experience was "okay". All you can eat food quality, not worth buying individually from the brunch menu. read more

Great restaurant to stop by if you're in Berri/UQAM - St. Denis area. One thing I love about Montreal is that the restaurant is allowed to put a patio on the street and you get to enjoy the curbside dining. St. Houblon offers some great saisons and food. Beef Tartare and Lamb Burger were to die for. They gave you a lot of fries along with it. Will definitely come back again to try a few more beer. The waiter was very friendly despite the language barrier. read more

Came here after the glowing reviews to taste the craft beers. Now I have to comment that this is a pure review of simply the beers. The service was amazing, the ambiance was a great and honestly super cute place to hang out. The biggest sour note was simply the beer. So we tried 6 different beers and although I do love craft beer which is probably why I didn't enjoy the place as much, it was clear the beers were all quite watery. I had high hopes as the reviews was so positive and it really made me want to try it out. My friend loves sour beers, so clearly we had to try a good mix of the sours and I love strong IPAs. It seemed to be the perfect place that offered the mix of both of our beer favorites. Unfortunately, it wasn't satisfying and didn't meet our expectations. Would return for food but probably not the beer. read more

Let's start with beer .... my guess is the list changes so providing the number won't mean much, but what I had was #13 which was a NW IPA - or something along those lines... all I remember is that it was magical! It was so good I had 4 husband went with sampler and really enjoyed all the beers. Food ( the reason why I'm knocking off one star) well first of all came out after a LONG time which happens, especially on a sat afternoon, but the tortillas in my tacos were super cold and hard as rocks which means it's probably been sitting to be delivered to the table for a while. Service was good. Bartender was very helpful when describing the beers, and the waitresses were very accommodating, although disappearing from time to time - probably due to the place being busy. read more

I actually came to a private event in the upstairs room here, which in of itself was great, but this was my first time as a regular walk-in customer. I always was curious about this place with its huge (and apparently popular) terrace and interesting exterior. After some confusion about how we were to be seated, we finally found a host and were seated inside (there was a terrace seat but it was a little too warm outside for our taste). After waiting awhile for our server to greet us (this was a theme of the night) we ordered a couple alcoholic beverages, the fried chicken plate and the burger. The beverages and chicken arrived in reasonable time. The burger? Waited. And waited. And... "excuse me, is that burger coming?" Long story short, the order never went in to the kitchen, so it never got started, so we just cancelled the order. Which on one hand was perfectly fine because the portion for the chicken order was HUGE, but on the other hand, cmon homie if you can't remember the order maybe you should write it down (what's with servers here thinking they can memorize orders?). And maybe a good gesture might've been a free drink or appetizer, just saying. But I digress. The chicken was surprisingly fantastic. Other than that, the place has a cool, albeit busy vibe, plays good music, and I'm sure that terrace is great when the wether is right. Hopefully one day I'll be able to try that burger. Or the ribs. Menu had promise. Probably wouldn't want to come here during peak hours; not particularly interested in the drunk college student scene. So 4 for the chicken and the beer options (they have gluten-free beer!), 2 for the painfully slow and inattentive service, so a solid 3 overall. And yes, we'll be back. read more

I will not hesitate to give this brewery a 5 on 5 for their BOOZY BRUNCH! Listen 30$ per person for all you eat and DRINK. Yes you read this correctly! The place wasn't packed at all which is surprising. The food is decent, there is better brunch food out there, but for all you can eat it has an original menu. You also have all you can mimosas with cider instead of sparkling wine. I recommend you get their seasonal stout with strawberries. The staff and manager were super friendly and made sure we had a great time!! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in here for dinner to celebrate his birthday in Montreal. It was a super friendly vibe, with lots of young, hip people dining (maybe too hip for us), and fun atmosphere. We sat in the sofa seats overlooking the bar, and we both got the burgers and fries. I ate the entire burger and almost all the fries. The shoestring fries were soooooo delicious, as was the burger. I roped our waitress into helping me celebrate my beau's birthday by asking for some cake. They didn't have any cake, but she rustled up some fried oreos, and they were even better! Thank you Saint-Houblon for helping us to celebrate properly! read more

Let me start by saying I opened the bar and still, it was not a dull visit. The beer was great and all 20+ varieties on tap are shown on a tv in the bar. I highly recommend the Houblon V (an IPA) and the Blu Nuit (a blueberry beer)! read more

Purchase: - Brunch Buffet + Bottomless Drinks / $30 I went here with a friend to check out their food and once we saw that there was bottomless mimosa with a buffet, we were in! We ordered eggs, bacon, potatoes, Benedict's, salmon, and more. I would say the food was average, but again, we were here for the drinks and took advantage of eating and drinking until it was time to go. Would I go here again? Sure. We just didn't like how the servers were not attentive. read more

Saint-Houblon is really nice bar / brew pub. Drinks menu is pretty long, cocktails, wines and a lots of beers, but not on the menu. The beers you have to figure out from the multiple TV screens hanging on the walls. Depending on where you sit you may see or not the list, and descriptions. On a hockey night the beer list is gone and of course the Habs take over the screens. On such a night our waiter had the difficult task to figure out what kind of brew exactly we would like to try. He was nice and willing to bring samples for those who couldn't decide. The space in the pub is well designed. There are multiple seat options, low and tall tables, good for small and bigger groups, and the comfy seats in front of the bar more suitable for couples. The pub offers nice food menu, we focused mainly on the snack choices, and my fries had yummy aioli dip, but one of my friends truly enjoyed her burger. Service is nice, but a little bit on the slow side as it is getting late and busy. Saint-Houblon is in between the three and four stars, prices are very competitive, but all the beers I tried were a little bit underwhelming. I would definitely come back and I hope to be able to choose a brew from a readable list that will win my heart. read more

We were here for a friend's birthday. I was the last one to get in and the first one to get my food and my drink, somehow! I obviously did not object to this, but it made me feel a tad bad for my friends. Pretty good burgers, and plenty of fries to eat afterwards :) I am not a beer connoisseur but my friends were very happy with all the beer selection they had! I just ordered a double IPA because I was advised to have that. I especially recommend the Fried Oreos! read more

We found this cute little place by chance. It was literally the only place that was open and we were starving. Turned out to be a great choice though. The food is a little bit different. For example we were there for breakfast/brunch and you don't just get pancakes you get pancakes with a whole bunch of goodness all over them. All my friends enjoyed all their food as well. Our server was very pleasant even though she had to deal with a bunch of Americans ... We would definitely go back if given the opportunity. read more

Love the food at this place!! Ordered the bicol express and it's a traditionally Filipino dish. Being Filipino myself they definitely did it justice! It came with a delicious side of rice and I finished it to the bone. We also ordered the Chino fried chicken and it was to die for. For drinks your can order up to 24 drafts, which is great cause you get to taste everything. We each got a 10-draft flight. Highly recommend the DIPA if you're partial to hoppy but refreshing beer. The server is amazing and he took care of us and was there to offer great recommendations and answered our questions in English (being the Americans we are lol). I forgot to ask his name but the guy w/the red hair/beard is extremely friendly. Great experience and will definitely come back when we visit Montreal again! read more

Saint-Houblon is a cool restaurant with a pretty good selection of beer. They haven't had too many sours when I've gone (which I'm always looking for) but they've had a couple and the other beers are normally interesting as well. The random star of this place for me is the salmon poke bowl. It's strange to me that a bar has such a great poke bowl, but it does. It's got so many flavors and textures. I've tried a few other things (a burger, the tacos, the mac and cheese) but really the salmon bowl is the best. The ambiance is chill and the terrace is nice in the summer. I've moved away from this area but I'll still come back for the salmon bowl and a pint. read more

If I could give less than a star I would. Got seated and 10mins later no service no beer. Maybe it's because we didn't speak French? I understand when a place is packed it's hard to serve people but don't seat me next to the door and walk back and forth and not see if I want something. And then after mega late service and not checking about food, we couldn't even get our check. 3 servers only out of which 2 spent the entire time outside and one staples stuff at the bar. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Their east coast IPA (forget the name) was one of my favourites during a recent trip, but through a few different beers via flight format I was quite impressed with many of the beers being served. We also ordered food and I went with the spicy asian influenced fried chicken... Which was not just pretty good tasting but also a huge portion of chicken (not sure if there was a mistake in the kitchen or what, but I had leftovers to go which rarely happens). They have a really cool patio out back in addition to the summer "terrace" out front. Servers were friendly, and the general vibe of the place was welcoming and cool (some dope classic hip hop being played when I came back for the second time). This is my favourite place I found in the Latin Quarter during my visit, and will be making a point to return! read more

Friendliest bartenders in Montreal, great selection of craft beers and the awesome bartenders will give you samples to try to help find the perfect beer for you and as in my case offer an orange slice to balance an IPA and make it phenomenal. Seating is wood and not very comfortable, neither is the journey upstairs to get to the toilets but I suppose that is rather the norm in Montreal. We shared an order of pulled pork nachos and both of us couldn't even finish them all, so the portions are very adequate. We sat on the patio for a while but it is very busy and the service gets quite slow, service is much better inside. I really like the vibe here and the bartenders make the experience a memorable one with their energy, enthusiasm and quirky sense of humor. read more

Really enjoyed trying this spot! The service definitely stood out, providing patrons with samples of their IPA as we waited to be seated.

Blessed be the server who took pity on us.... we were walking all around Le Village assuming there would be food there at 3 in the afternoon.... whoops! Nothing looked good. It was raining, and we walked all around for a long time. Almost settled for some mediocre looking place because we were so tired and soaking wet. Then like a light at the end of the tunnel, we saw Saint Houblon. Didn't even care what they had, it was open, looked warm and they had food. As soon as we were seated, the server gave us two free beer samples because he's a good person. We ordered some beers and they had a decent vegetarian selection for the wife. I, on the other hand, order a duck confit pulled pork burger with cranberries and goat cheese (yes please!) and some of the best damn frites I've ever had. They had one of those TV beer menus which I'm iffy about, but the server was super knowledgeable about beer so it didn't matter. There were other great looking food items on the menu that I would want to try again. And if I'm ever in town again, I will be back. And to the tall, thin scruffy server whose name I didn't catch? Thank you. You're amazing. read more

I can't comment or rate the beer or the food, because I only had a coffee during a meeting, but the atmosphere was quite happening even on a regular week night. Let's just say, it seemed to be more like a Thursday. 'Hustly and bustly'. The coffee was so so, but the beer looked good and the service was polite, respectful and not too in your face. They have a full menu and a bunch of beers; so will need another visit. read more
