38 Best Bistros in Montreal

“Merveilleuse soirée hier avec un service aux petits oignons, une ambiance à la fois cozy et festive avec un choix intéressant en matière de vins. Un menu dégustation généreux pour seulement 75 $, c’est très très raisonnable. Coup de cœur pour le tartare! J’y retournerai sans hésiter.“

The first time we came here, it was for coffee ☕, the second time was today for lunch. My love 💕 and I , are return customers. I believe it's places like Chez José Café that keep Montréal alive.

“L’excellent service est rare de nos jours. Aujourd’hui je l’ai trouvé. Au Bloomfield aujourd’hui, le serveur ainsi que la gérante ont été au-delà de mes attentes et celui de notre groupe de 6. Sans même que j’ai demandé quoi que ce soit, ils se sont assurés de notre satisfaction. Oui je retournerai à votre resto, et oui je le recommanderai. Merci de votre service et d’avoir visé l’excellence.“

“The food was very excellent and the service was very good. Since I went during MTL Table they had a special menu and it was all super innovative! The only thing was that dessert wasn’t as amazing as everything else but overall would come here again.“

“What a delightful treat at Cocktail Hawaii in Montreal! I ordered the Atayef Bil Ashta, and it was pure heaven! The pancakes were perfectly soft and fluffy, stuffed with a rich, creamy ashta that had just the right hint of rose and orange blossom flavors. The generous topping of crushed pistachios and a drizzle of honey elevated it to another level—sweet, nutty, and absolutely indulgent. The vibrant, tropical vibe of the place made it such a fun spot to enjoy this Middle Eastern classic. The staff were super friendly and quick, making the experience even better. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more of their creative desserts! Highly recommend for anyone craving something unique and delicious“

“We had brunch at Toi, Moi, & Café ☕🍽️

I ordered the most divine mushroom & Brie omelette 🥚🧀🍄 with seasoned potatoes, fresh fruit 🍓🍇, and a warm French baguette with marmalade 🥖🍊

Are you kidding me?! 🤯 Hands down the best omelette I’ve had outside of Paris! 🇫🇷✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Mon nouveau restaurant préféré au Québec.Plats de qualités et frais ,ainsi service exceptionnel.“

“Outstanding dumplings. I ate here five years ago on a business trip and I remembered the chef prepping dumplings in the window, and I had to go back. So I walked on St. Catherine’s St until I saw the chef making dumplings and went in. I ordered pan fried pork and chives dumplings and tofu. The food was as excellent as I remembered. If you in Montreal and have a craving for Chinese dumplings, this is an outstanding choice! Prompt and appropriate service.“

“There weren’t a lot of choices comparing to the other Zhang Liang malatangs, but overall I had a good meal! When we went into the restaurant, nobody served us. We found a table and sat down. We got ourselves cups and water, and you don’t really need any help from the server except when you are paying. The place is old, not with the best environment but at least the food was tasty.“

Our server Andrew was his name I think made our night! Could not recommend this place more! Thank you to the team for making this part of our trip memorable🫶🏻“

“Thank you for this amazing last minute dinner meal I picked up for my family. The soup of the day was absolutely delicious and fresh. The chopped salad was amazing. The tuna, shrimp, beef and chicken tacos were very tasty. The portions are generous and reasonably priced for quality food! I will definitely be returning.“

“Perfetto! Fantastico! Autentico! 🇮🇹☕️🤪“

“We had such an amazing meal at Darna. My daughter, who is generally very picky, said it was the best meal she had ever had, and she asked us to try to make more food like that at home. The service was also incredibly lovely, with several of the servers coming to explain things to us — such as the meaning of Amazigh, the term preferred over Berber — and helping us to decide what to order. Overall, we would come back here as often as we could if we didn't live so far away.“

“I recently visited Manga Bistro, and I couldn't be more impressed! The friendly staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The torched sushi was a standout, perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. I loved the easy order system, which made it a breeze to try a variety of dishes without any hassle. The wonderful environment really enhanced our dining experience, creating a relaxing atmosphere that made it hard to leave. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic sushi in a warm and inviting setting!“

“Fun place to grab a quick beer and/or drink. Every Wednesday they host a language exchange which is pretty fun to attend. I have not tried the food s I can't really be a judge of that. Overall, great service, long opening hours and fantastic ambiance.“
