14 Best Gastropubs near Montreal

“I had a lovely solo dinner at Limbo. The staff were fantastic from start to finish, taking the time to patiently walk me through the menu and share thoughtful recommendations.

The pork with raw shrimp was easily the star dish, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The other two plates I tried were pleasant enough, though they didn't quite leave the same impression.

Overall, wonderful hospitality and a great, welcoming atmosphere for dining solo. They offer half sizes for solo diners so you can pick a few plates to try.

The menu changes daily so I'd be interested in coming back at another time where it's more meat or seafood forward. I'm not a veggie person, so others who are will undoubtedly enjoy the food more than I did.“

“Nourriture excellente et le service de Ludo est incroyable. Je recommande ce restaurant.👌🏻“

“The place is really pretty and has good energy. We just stopped in for drinks and they were ok. The cocktails were a bit sweeter than expected.
The service was very attentive. At times a bit too attentive and their stopping by to see if we needed anything was a bit intrusive at times.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Le 409! The tikka was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, with spices that were rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. The creative cocktails were also a highlight and paired really well with the food.

The service made the evening even more enjoyable. Everyone working there was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely lovely. Overall, it’s a great spot for delicious Indian food, unique drinks, and excellent hospitality. We would definitely return!“

“très bon service, très bonne bouffe, on reviendra c'est certain! merci!“

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

“You go there for the best craft beers in Montreal. You return for the warm ambiance and really good comfort food. You return again to enjoy the best summer of your life on their amazing terrasse. I forget to mention the crazy price deals on 5 à 7 (7/7), you will return for that too. Last but not least, if you are a hockey fan, games are live on giant screen and you could win your ticket to go enjoy a game at the Bell center. One ticket to win every week!“

“I visited Hiatus in March and it became my top place in Montreal for a night out. Exceptional mixed drinks that are properly prepared along with stunning and unmatched views of Montreal are all promised here. I didn't get a chance to try the French - Japanese inspired food menu but that would be for next time! Epicures will not be disappointed.“

“The rooftop offers a great atmosphere, with the option for indoor seating as well. The prices are reasonable, which is a positive distinction from other rooftop bars in Montreal. The overall ambiance is very relaxed. There is a good selection of beers and cocktailsavailable, and food is also served. The tables are long and designed for shared seating.“

“Un lieu que je fréquente à l’occasion et qui ne déçoit jamais. Chez Les Insulaires, on vient d’abord pour la bière — et on reste pour l’expérience. La Phare et la Lux brillent franchement parmi leurs créations : chacune bien construite, expressive, avec cette touche d’élégance qui fait qu’on y revient. Le Blanton’s Old Fashioned m’a aussi franchement séduit : soigné, précis, avec juste ce qu’il faut d’aplomb. Le service ? Sympathique, attentif, à l’image de l’endroit. Le décor est soigné, réfléchi, avec du style et de la personnalité. Le hall d’entrée, avec son architecture de haut niveau, annonce d’emblée un lieu conçu avec goût et maîtrise. Et quand je repars, une seule pensée me suit : à quand la prochaine tournée ?“

“Excellent restaurant with good food, wine and drinks. Have been here quite often and never been disappointed. Only thing I find is a problem is the NOISE - especially when the place is full.“

“Quel endroit merveilleux. Une première visite pour nous et on a été accueilli comme si on visitait des amis proches. C’est extraordinaire et je recommande fortement pour tout. Un délice et on a déjà hâte d’y retourner.“

“Great food and friendly service!

Loud! The outdoor dek hockey rink right next to the terasse is suited for people who enjoy the sounds of men yelling and pucks hitting the boards a few feet from your ears, lol. To be fair, it's part of the experience so I'm not criticizing it. But be warned, if there's a match going on.“

“Beautiful ambiance, has a bar section (open with a nice air breeze) for drinks, happy hour or just to enjoy a play-offs hockey game... and a restaurant section more quiet and for a nice family meal. Food is really good and the beer selection outstanding. Perks of this place is the free parking just in front, so short walk to get there from your car. I really enjoyed my time there and I will certainly come back again.“
