What an experience! Immersive and transportive. Felt like I was back in time, in a world of fantasy. I didn't quite understand all of what was said and was hoping there would be some English in there too, but for the most part, the energy of the crowd, the singing and theatrics, was so contagious that the language barrier often became an afterthought. The food was generous, hearty and so more ish. Nothing to fault here. My partner and I shared two tasting platters in which we sampled their Pork Ribs, Viking's Quenelle, Game Pie and Boar Sausage. All excellent and how can I forget their fries! These were the underdogs. They let us get a mix of the their three kinds - spicy wedges, cinnamon sugar chips, and salted fries - all of which were scrumptious. My favorite was the spicy kind which was painfully delicious. We ended with a molten chocolate dessert which came with the best concoction of cranberries and Grand Marnier on the side, which created depths I didn't know existed. The molten chocolate itself was okay. Besides the service being rather relaxed with things often taking longer to arrive than preferred, this is worth a visit for everyone visiting Montreal. As for locals, run. Don't walk! read more

Auberge du Dragon Rouge - Phoenix Chicken Wings and Swamp Juice (Green Sangria) - Dinner Theater Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Before anyone asks: YES, it is all in French. HOWEVER, our waiter spoke English and he was an absolute delight. He seemed to be the only one who did the night we went (Sunday), but the performers were just as friendly. It's small, but very cozy. I highly recommend reserving in advanced to ensure a spot. The food was tasty, and the highlight for me was the round, sugar covered potatoes. I could eat an entire plate of just those. I would recommend knowing some basic French phrases and sentences to help out (thank you, high school French class) but my friend who spoke 0 French still had a good time. There is a 7 dollar entertainment fee, but our waiter was so kind and said he waived it for us since we both didn't really speak French well and couldn't get fully immersed. I'd argue the contrary; despite the language barrier, I had such a great time. HIGHLY recommend this gem. read more

You have to reserve because this place is pretty popular. We got there a bit early and had to wait but it was fun seeing some patrons really get into the mood with their costumes and all. We were seated upstairs which can host about 30ish people. We had a dedicated bard who sang hearty ballads while guests stomped and pounded tables along with the tune (It's not free though--they'll add and extra fee per person as a performance fee to your bill.) For our appetizer, we were recommended the toasted cheese bread and this is a toasted baguette slathered in super savory barbeque sauce. It's a touch spicy but it's 100% flavor! As for the mains, we all got burgers. This was my second time here so I knew which potatoes I wanted. The Petaque fries are like a having sweet and salty thick potato chips but with a delightful crunch to them--my favorite out of the three "fries". I found the Saxonne and Confit fries a bit too heavy. I got the wild boar burger 1/3 lb which is fairly flat but the bun is pretty big and the patty is somewhat thin but it's still a very good portion because we didn't have room for dessert. This is great as an experience--the dishes and ambience are unique. With the entertainment fee, it is a bit more expensive so probably something that would be a fun place to take your out of town guests to try something new! read more

Went there before Covid for my friend's Birthday and was pretty good in general. The reason I give a 4 stars it's because even with the very nice atmosphere anf nice staff that know how to entertain you it's pretty expensive so be prepared to spend a lot if you go there but the experience by itself it wonderful . Plus if you go there you must take a dragon blood you'll by yourself what I'm talking about ;) read more

Simply amazing, the ambiance is amazing, you will NOT be able to finish your meal. The service was great, and the entertainment was excellent. The concept of drinking beer with huge spoons is very creative and was a great experience. read more

It's been 10 years since I went to l'Auberge du dragon rouge. But this place provides the kind of experience that is hard to forget... As soon as you get there, you are in a new world. You are in the Middle Ages, where everything and everyone - the food, the people, the vibe, the decoration, the language - reminds you that you entered a new world. They sing, they scream, they're dressed in a fully middleagerian (?) way, and you can't help but getting over your pride, finding yourself screaming, "AUBERGISTE! À BOIRE!!"* standing on your chair, before realizing it. It's a little far, but easy to reach by metro. *= I wanna drink! read more

Auberge du Dragon Rouge - Dinner Theater Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Honestly one of the best restaurant in this town ... Its location is very hidden as it is situated in the north east of Montreal. Freaking love this place and the employees that work there , they really love their jobs and make sure that you feel at ease and comfortable within their castle :3 I haven't tried much except their burgers , but holy hell does this place makes excellent burger and good fries and sweet potatoes chips. I have actually went here 3 times over the last two months . As my first experience of le dragon rouge was an I call within their establishment , i could not be more satisfied about my meal that night and so did my partner . I had the boar pig burger in the past which tasted dry but perfect. I've gotten the Butcher burger which came with half a pound of meat and merguez sausages .. Can I say it was delicious ?! Yes I will rate this burger top 2 in Montreal , I'm not joking. The side dishes include sweet potatoes chips and giant hand made potatoes ! I'm not gonna lie probably the best potatoes and fries in Montreal as it comes with GARLIC SAUCe, YES YOU heard me right , THIS Establishment have garlic sauce and IT MAKES THEIR SIDE DISHES PERFECT . Lastly , I can say that I've brought two friends to this place , and they can't believe how good this restaurant is in term of food , service and establishment . Fact is during the night , the staff gives an excellent show that is mostly in French , but very fun and exciting as it put ambience ! Take out order is absolutely amazing - takes about 10-15mins , in the mean time you can drink water and watch the establishment show , or chill under the terrace . Seriously, do not be afraid to come within the domain of this restaurant as you will be amazed by this unique medieval restaurant :) Merci encore dragon rouge for the amazing experienced in food that you've allowed me to enjoy ! read more

J'y suis aller pour un déjeuner avec des amis, vous devez y aller! Ils offrent un oeuf de dragon (oeuf d'autruche) pour 8 personnes et plus! La couenne de sanglier remplace le bacon et croyez moi, vous en redemanderez. Les prix du déjeuner sont abordable et l'humour reste au rendez-vous! C'est un must si vous aimez les déjeuners du weekend! Je vous conseille l'assiette déjeuner avec canard confit, avec le plat de couenne 'on the side' biensur! Bonne appétit et n'oubliez pas qu'ils n'acceptaient pas les cartes de crédits à l'époque médiévale et qi'ils ne l'acceptent toujours pas aujourd'hui. read more

Hello my fellow Yelpers! My wife and I went here on a trip we took to Montreal. I'm looking at this place from the point of view of being someone who loves medieval restaurants but does not speak French. The prospect: My wife and I are big fans of medieval themed restaurants and Auberge de Dragon Rouge definitely fits into that vein, no question about it. It's on a main thoroughfare and the Metro can get you to within a half mile of the place. There aren't any big signs or anything, but once you're there, it will be quite obvious as there is a large statue out in front. The experience: We went during Christmas week and for the 5:00pm seating (There were two seatings the night we went). The whole thing started when a man stepped onto the front steps on the place and started speaking in French to the assembled crowd outside (There were about 15 of us out there). I had no clue what he was saying, but he was dressed in a kilt and looked every bit the Scottish man he was portraying... Going inside, it gets easier because the person who takes your food and drink orders does speak English and they even have English menus. Food and drink prices are on the high side, even taking into account the value of the Canadian dollar versus the US Dollar. We got a pitcher of Sangria (which was awesome), and the Gargantuan Platter. This giant platter of food was $90, and had enough food to fill us both up and then some. It did have a LOT of potato wedges, but they have three options for how you want your potatoes. The food was good and it was served in true medieval style with no utensils. The service was top notch and we couldn't have asked for a better server. The atmosphere was one of a medieval tavern, and they do have live music, though again it was all in French. The player admitted to knowing one "Saxon" song, but most there looked like they understood French, so that was the language of choice for the evening. Note: You are charged a small amount for the live music...signs are posted, but they are in French. I learned the charge was $7 for adults and $3 for kids. All in all, I'd say that if you are a fan of medieval style eateries and lots of great food and drink, along with live entertainment, then the Auberge de Dragon Rouge certainly delivers on that premise and I would recommend them heartily...but if you go, be sure you understand French, because I imagine the experience would be that much better. read more

What an unexpected find this place was. We dined downstairs vs the traditional dinner show upstairs but still had a fabulous time. The atmosphere and employees really make the experience. They're really good at staying in character. Be aware that the entertainment is mostly in french, so if you don't understand you may feel a little left out. They did sing a few songs in english for us which was nice. We were also pleased by their willingness to accommodate for my wife who is celiac and they even prepared the poutine for her and she had no issues. Definitely recommend. read more

I'm going to have a hard time finding words to describe this place..... My husband and I have been to Auberge Du Dragon Rouge twice while visiting friends in Montreal. The first time was a wild enough experience that I HAD to go back. Our first time visiting we arrived to find about a 2 hour wait to get a table for our party of 5. Eh.... wasn't crazy about that but our friend/tour guide insisted that it was worth the wait. Finally when we got in, we entered a small restaurant whose dining area was maybe the size of my LR/DR, yet seated DOZENS of people, jam packed in. If we were in the US, this place would certainly not meet fire code! Once we sat down, luckily, we felt right at home. During the entire meal, the wait staff walked... that is... SQUEEZED, in between our tables singing and playing on their banjos. Being as everyone speaks/sings French, I could not understand a word, but it was still fun. As soon as our waiter found out that my husband and I only spoke English, the (friendly) harassment began! The harassment only got worse when I ordered the one (and only) vegetarian meal on the menu - veggie burger. The most interesting part of the meal comes AFTER you eat, when the wait staff asks who would like to prove their allegiance toward slaying dragons (or something of the sort) by drinking the blood of a recently slayed dragon. The "blood" is a warm drink consisting of Tabasco sauce and I think whiskey, and before you drink it, you have to stand on your chair and take an oath of allegiance! Crazy enough that I regretted not doing it the first time, and was the sole reason I made a point of going back this past year. Needless to say, the blood does not taste good, but it was fun enough that I'd do it again! The lack of vegetarian options would probably normally cause me to take off a star, but the fun and unique atmosphere made up for it. Definitely a place to go with a group of friends, some of which hopefully speak French, as the menu is in French. read more

This place is quintessential 514:( joie-de-vivre)^inf. Testament to the high fun quotient of the entire island, this gem is not located downtown but is in one of the northern 'burbs. You're not seated until everyone in your party has shown up but that just builds up anticipation as you see others having fun. The decor is tacky fun: dragon heads, rustic lamps, very woodsy, supported by appropriately clad wenches and minstrels! The food is hearty, tasty fun: bison, boar, fries et al. It's been a while since I last visited but the garlic fries left an indelible impression! The menu is a bit lacking in the vegetarian department, but vikings and kings didn't dine on fiddleheads and arugula! The entertainment is uber fun: it's very participatory as the waitstaff amble up to you and target you in a gentle roast or an awkward dance! The minstrels provide the background score to add to the ambiance. I've had many great memories in this renaissance themed restaurant: being asked to belly dance with another random patron, having friends asked to entertain the room at large, singing with the slightly tipsy waitstaff ( they drink while they serve you)! The Red Dragon is a bit on the more expensive side, but then again, no one said that entering the belly of the dragon wouldn't come at a price! read more

I don't get what all the other reviewers are raving about. I brought a friend here for what I was hoping to be a raucous time to celebrate the week of her wedding, and when we walked in the people dressed in costume just gave us a sideways glance and ignored us. The tavern wasn't particularly full, nor was it particularly fun. Everyone eating their food while servers walked around in costume but there were no interactions with the guests, or even interactions between themselves. The only time someone talked to us was to ask what we wanted to order. Occasionally someone would go and sing at the front and play on their lute, but that's about it. I was hoping for a much more interactive experience but ended up just being kind of embarrassed for bringing my friend there, as we ate our $25 poutine. read more

The Auberge du Dragon Rouge is a very unique place in Montreal. Upon entering the restaurant, I was surprised to noticed that even the clients (for most part) where dressed in medieval clothing and behaving erratic. There were people playing great medieval songs and shanties. And every time someone would order a large meal they would screen and bring all the attention to the table. Some of the songs were also drinking games. For example, whenever the bard would sing the month of your birthday, you would be invited to drink whatever you were drinking. The food is delicious, and almost everything contains boar meat. They have a large selection of beverages, including Mead and alcoholic coffee. Those who were willing to drink the "Dragon's Blood" (a mix of alcohol and tabasco) were invited to stand on the table and swear an oath (both English and French) before drinking it. There was also a dance with people that had birthday's that month. The only two downsides: People really do get excited and can get pretty loud. This is absolutely not the place for those seeking a calm bar to talk to friends or significant other. Also it can get a little bit expensive. Me and my friends spent around 65 dollars each for the meal and a few drinks. The decor of the place is very well done and does look like something out of a museum. In my opinion it is well worthy it. Probably the closest to a medieval tavern experience that you will have in Montreal. Note: Oh, by the way. Be sure to reserve ahead of time. It fill up pretty fast and the first time I went there, had to find some other place to eat. read more

I recently went there to celebrate my Birthday... I have been going regularly for year to the main dining room and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance... if you don't like crowds stay clear of the place on weekends. What made this trip different from my usual one is that My group of friend and I reserved the Upstairs 'noble room' and had a wonderful 3 serving meal with lively animation and excellent service. The food menu is set depending on the banquet you choose in advance (you can check the various Menu at http://www.oyez.ca/auberge/banquets.html - in French only). While the servers/actors were comfortable enough in English (we had a priest, a young guy called 'mousse and a wench called Freya, the 2 latter were rather quiet but efficient) The entertainment was mostly in french, even if I had requested, was promised and confirmed that it would be no problem to have some in English; some in french. Only 2 people in my party of 21 spoke only English, but still it was a small disappointment and the reason I removed a star. All my guest had an excellent time... and I am not sure it is standard practice but I was offered and enjoyed a shot of calvados on the house. The food was good, well presented and timely served. I personally had the 'sampler' platter which is a bit of all the other 3 choice on the set menu. If you want to have the place upstairs I would recommend doing reservation at least 6 month in advance. And that is the only way you can reserve as the main dining room downstairs is always first come first served. if you want to get a feel of the place while it is quieter a lunch there (or going early afternoon) is a good idea. Want to experience the whole experience... Friday or Saturday night is the best. On another note they only Accept Cash or DEBIT card... L'Auberge is definitely and experience and one of those very unique restaurant in Montreal read more

Went there when I was 18. Had to wait a big hour. Reservation at that time could only be for 10-15 persons group. As Christine say, Your world change into a medieval roleplaying which you get in easiely and I could not stop thinking; Do they like their job after 3-4 years of Imitating something, acting... Anyway, after looking waiting so long, we got our seat and we were already at our 2nd of 3rd beer. I took a Bison Burger with a basket of Fries. Not i'm not quite sure about the burger but the spices they uses for the fries and the way it was cook, i remember it was amazing! By the end of the meal, my friends had the idea to humiliate me and make me dance. YEah Go Fat friend, dance, Dance like you've never dance *run forest quote* (one of the many humiliation! :P) Great for kids Great for group a bit expensive but really good experience.

One of the best restaurants I have been in my life. The ambiance is superb at night, and the food is amazing. The staffs were playing different roles and they were very good. My favorite time to go is during the brunch on the weekend. It is quite pricey to go there everyday to eat but every time, I have the chance to go, I always leave with a big smile on my face. Definitely a must go, it is worth it to try the restaurant at least once in your lifetime. Overall, everything is perfect. The only complain I have is... They should have a vegetarian options at night because most of the dishes are meat based. Nevertheless, I will be back! read more

This is such a cool place! We were only able to go for breakfast and missed some of the festivities I hear they have at night but it was a wonderful experience.

We went for breakfast and the food was underwhelming except the bacon and fresh bread which were delightful. What made the experience unsavoury was the treatment we received as Black patrons of the restaurant. There was a clear difference in the service we were provided compared to the table next to ours. While the people around us were being paid close attention to and served courteously, we were not. No one came to ask how our food was and we were the last to be served in our section of the dining room though we arrived first. Our server was cold and barely spoke to us though she was friendly and warm to the other white patrons around us. This was unpleasant and frankly upsetting because it was uncalled for. We hope this was a one-time occurrence but we will not be returning. read more

The food is great, although a little overpriced. During my last visit there, I had a great time. The musicians understood very easily that they were annoying me, and went fiddling away at other tables. I saw lesbian elves, very noisy & drunk French people, our waitress was perfectly curvy, and the manager is a fucking funny guy. Even if you're not a fan of knights and peasants, you should check out this place at least once in your life. read more
