We were just there for the ambiance and a cocktail - both were superb. My friend has decided Americanos are her new favourite drink. We loved looking at the celebrity photos and I recognized someone I had worked with “in the day”. And what a great photo of René Lévesque!

Bernard the maitre D was superb....passionate and professional. French onion soup was a standout and the ribeye a delight to the taste buds.

I recently went to Café Cherrier with one of my good friends, and it turned out to be one of those meals you remember long after. Nestled in the Plateau, the place has that effortlessly elegant French vibe—cozy inside, with a terrace that’s perfect for people-watching. We shared a bottle of wine from their excellent selection (French, of course), and every dish we tried felt like a little trip to Paris. The onion soup was rich and comforting, and the steak tartare was spot-on. It’s the kind of restaurant where you linger over dessert and conversation, and we did just that.

We had a good experience, the staff is very kind and attentive, the food is pretty good and rational prices. I recommend it specially if having a bit of time to wait for your meals, but willing to enjoy.

We did not have a good experience here. The setting is charming and it has an authentic French brasserie feel but the food and service were disappointing. The gravlax salmon was touch and floating in vinegar. Having made and eaten gravlax many times, it was shocking that any real chef would present this and to make matters worse, it was served with bland bun coated in sesame seeds, not unlike a hot dog bun. Horrible. I had to send it back The pasta we ordered was very ordinary. The waitress was not apologetic, helpful or pleasant. All in all extremely disappointing. Cannot wait for L’express to reopen. They know what they’re doing.

I'm out of words! Every thing was perfect. The waiter, if I remember correctly he was Nathan, was super nice and patient. I do strongly recommend it to everyone!

Delicious food, a beautiful terrasse with privacy and the service was top notch. It's worth the visit.
I’ve been going to the Café Cherrier for years and years. It’s well-located, with friendly staff. The menu is varied and the food is quite good. Not great, but fine. My last visit was for Sunday brunch with my mother. We sat on the terrace. It was an enjoyable outing.

Overrated and overpriced for brunch. Worst blessed eggs I've tasted, yet it's the specialty. Coffee is good though :)

Here is a fluid and corrected version for your opinion on Café Cherrier:
Café Cherrier is a traditional Montreal institution, where you always feel welcome. The owner, Jacques, is often present and ensures that everything is perfect. The team of servers is exceptional: attentive, friendly and efficient.
At the bar, Abigail and Nicolas stand out for their know-how. They prepare the best Cosmopolitans and Negronis in town, with attention to detail and a smile that's always there. Their friendliness makes each visit even more pleasant. The wine list is well chosen, and you can always have enriching conversations with them.🫶🏻🍹
The clientele is mainly made up of regulars, but we also meet new faces who come to discover this elegant and warm place.
In terms of cuisine, traditional French dishes live up to their reputation, with consistent quality and taste. Special mention for the traditional onion soup, a classic perfectly executed with its melting cheese on top. 🤩
Café Cherrier offers a great diversity of spaces: high seats at the bar, tables for intimate moments or for groups. The toilets are always spotlessly clean.
A must for lovers of good food and a timeless atmosphere in Montreal.
Vegetarian options: Although the menu focuses primarily on traditional French cuisine, Café Cherrier offers a few vegetarian options. For example, certain salads or dishes can be adapted for vegetarians. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations, who are always helpful. 🥗
Dietary restrictions: The menu has options that may accommodate some dietary restrictions, but it's best to check with the staff, who are always available and attentive to meet guests' specific needs.
Kid-friendliness: Café Cherrier is a welcoming place for families. Although the atmosphere is elegant and traditional, it is perfectly suited to welcoming children. The servers are attentive and accommodating, and there is enough space to feel comfortable as a family. 🧑🧑🧒
Service is slow and is not a good place to have a business lunch.

Café Cherrier is one of our favorite restaurants and we enjoy going there regularly. Last night there were a lot of people and the kitchen was slower than usual. On the other hand, the dishes and the service were excellent.
