14 Best Gastropubs near Montreal

“We came here on vacation and were really impressed. Service was very quick and the atmosphere was wonderful. For a Wednesday evening the place was lively with smiles everywhere you looked.

Our favorite dish was the salmon tartare. The avocado and lime perfectly balanced each other and elevated the fish.

Thanks so much to the staff, we had such a great time dining here!“

“Excellent cocktails and super comfy sofas. Staff is mostly nice, can be a bit dry when it's very busy but that's to be expected.

It's also nice the the music volume is just perfect, not so loud that you can't have a conversation.“

“The place is good but as for the exterior we will come back! An old building with straight lines a bit like beer glasses...but what matters is what's inside!!😁
Inside it is welcoming, warm and well decorated with courteous and friendly staff.
I was there in December for a quick stop with colleagues before going to the office Christmas party a little later which meant that we only had 1 or 2 drinks.

The beer that is brewed on site turned out to be excellent and allowed us to have a great time with friends in a relaxed atmosphere where it was possible to hear each other talk!

I wish you a good visit and good beer😎“

“Service excellente du début à la fin. Un gros merci à Mikael (pardon pour l’orthographe) et son équipe qui ont fait tout pour nous sentir accueilli. Pour ceux avec des limitations de mobilité, un endroit qui fait tout pour vous fera sentir les bienvenus à tout prix. Mikael et sont équipe étaient prêts à monter et descendre ma chaise roulante les deux marches sans hésiter et avec un gros sourire. Un gros merci à notre serveuse Marie pour les excellentes suggestions pour le vin et repas!! J’hésitais entre le saumon et les moules. A sa recommandation les moules (suggérés sans hesitation), m’ont pas déçus. La recommandation du vin pour accompagner le repas m’a pas déçu non plus. Demandez d’être servi par Marie, vous ne serez pas déçus!“

“I had an excellent evening at the Le 409 restaurant!
The service was excellent, with attentive staff.
The food was simply delicious, every dish was flavorful and very well spiced. I particularly loved the salmon tikka and butter chicken, which were seasoned perfectly. All the naan breads were amazing, soft and flavorful which really rounded out the meal. A culinary experience to repeat without hesitation.
⚠️ the lamb was ultra ultra spicy, it’s not for the faint of heart!
? The toilets are at the back of the restaurant and are gender neutral.“

“Very warm atmosphere, wide choice of wines and cocktails accompanied by great explanations from the Barman Kevin who, it shows, knows his job perfectly, and excellent burrata carefully prepared by chef Louis, I recommend this address with my eyes closed!“

“Great food , great team , unbeatable prices and an unbelievable service. Thank you.“

“Having delightful food and flavours in an airy space with an amazing view and excellent service is the best way to have a light lunch in downtown Montreal to break up the work day. The fowl dish was memorable as well as the sweetbread tempura that came with the veal dish.“

“One of the best bars in Montreal, only quality on the menu, the food is amazing, the staff friendly and very good advice (especially on wine).

Edit 2024: the default tip on the machine now starts at 18%, which seems particularly excessive to me, I am lowering my rating to 4*.“

“Une équipe du tonnerre qui donne un service incroyable!! Un repas délicieux avec des produits de qualité. La salade du moment au saumon fumé, les huîtres et que dire de l’onglet et sa sauce chimichuri!! C’était notre première fois et ce ne sera pas la dernière. Vous allez nous revoir.“

“L’une de mes places favorites! Bières excellentes pour tous, repas délicieux et employés formidables! Même les propriétaires sont présents et super sympathiques. J’y vais à chaque semaine et je ne suis jamais déçu.“

“Quelle expérience culinaire!! Service incroyable!“

“Average service and a little long. The waitress was there at the beginning to sell drinks but once this step was finished, only one visit to bring our meal. The prices are average high but the meal was excellent. The starter was very good, a little expensive for the portion. The fries were well seasoned and the ribs had lots of meat. The lychee sangria was fresh and delicious. Overall the taste makes up for the price. But the service needs to be improved. Other people who accompanied us never received their starter and had to ask another waitress to get their plate. The bathrooms are very well maintained.

Parking: Large parking lot but the spaces are small and there seems to be a small arena next door. So the parking lot fills up very quickly during events.“

“I ate here the other day and I loved the food: salad, calamari, pizza, and pasta. All were great! Atmosphere was amazing too, with great music. Shout out to our waitress, Sandrine— wish I got to speak with her more! If she sees, this reach out!“
