Dining at Bar George was one of the highlights of our quick 24-hour layover in Montreal. We stayed at Le Mount Stephen Hotel without doing much research on dining options, assuming we'd just find something nearby. But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!! read more

If I could give the manager of special events zero stars, I would have. We called two weeks ago and discussed a private event for 30 people on July 10th, and after speaking with the manager, we followed up with voice messages and emails to no avail. Today we called, and she finally picked up the call, only to tell us this date is now not available and to ask us to pick another date. I don't recommend this place for anyone. Maybe just a drink at the bar. read more

The inside of the restaurant architecture that mimic an old nostalgia classic British craftsmanship. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, ambience, and service here was impeccable. Ordered the Beef Wellington with several other dishes which were very good. The drink was excellent! I visit this place every time that I am in the area visiting! Again, the architecture of the building is timeless and beautiful! read more

Overall, I really enjoyed the food, ambience, and service here. We ordered the Beef Wellington and Striploin. The Wellington was very tender and tasted good. The Striploin could have been a bit more tender but the sauce that came with it was very tasty. We also had the fries which were good and the rapinin which was ok. The service was quick and fairly good. We also enjoyed a bottle of French red to go with dinner which was great. The prices are on the high end. The ambience was nice and overall, a nice change up from our usually go-to of french bistros when we visit Montreal. read more

This was one of the best dinners we had in Montreal!!! It's located in a hotel so when we went looking for it, we had totally missed it and had to walk back. We got the: 1) beef Wellington: pastry-wrapped filet mignon, mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, parsnip purée, asparagus, Quebec gel, green peppercorn sauce 2) chicken roulade: truffle potato pavé, king oyster mushroom, creamy sauce Périgueux Both meals were phenomenal!! The beef Wellington was the best I've ever had. The chicken roulade was so tender. Service was amazing! Vibes were on point. As the night progressed we noticed it getting progressively busier with a bouncer at the door LOLL with that being said, make a resy! read more

Okay, full transparency. I went here and did not stay. I was looking for a nice quiet lounge like atmosphere to wind down from a busy week of travel and meetings. The bar and lounge fit my needs perfectly. I oh so wanted to stay for a drink or two. However, they had a house DJ spinning music. Not quite dance or house music, but not some jazz or other kinds of lounge music. Obviously this was a personal choice I made. Maybe I will try again next time I'm in Montreal. read more

We actually ate at Bar George 3 times during our stay at Le Mount Stephen. We already had dinner reservations, but we also had bar bites as our room was being prepared and breakfast the next morning before we headed out to Quebec City. All of the food and drinks we had were very good but my favorite dish was the chicken roulade. It was seasoned well and plated beautifully. The bar and restaurant are warm and inviting. Service is relaxed and on the slow side, so if you are in a hurry you might want to mention that to your server. We enjoyed the slow paced meals since we weren't on a specific time line. read more

Went to this place as my fancy dinner for my first trip to Montreal. The vibe of the hotel is a cool mix of history with super hip. I felt a little underdressed when I first walked in, but then I saw a guy wearing Oakleys and a ball cap and felt better. The service was impeccable, and they never made me or my children feel out of place despite our wardrobe. It was during Jazz Fest so I think there were a ton of artists in the hotel. I ended up having the beef wellington while my 9-year-old had the filet mignon. My wife got the Truffle pasta. All the food was very good, but it was not spectacular. That being said, the whole package is something to behold and it was a truly lovely experience. read more

The restaurant looks amazing and feels special when you walk in. Food quality is good but not outstanding, and the noise level can get quite high in the evening. read more

The food was tasty and filling, not overly fancy but definitely satisfying and worth it.

Enjoyed the food, it felt home cooked and fresh. Staff were accommodating, but the waiting time could improve a little

Food amazing and very delicious, I mostly recommend the truffle pasta and the beef Wellington. The service is good but it could be better but didn't had any issues with it, I loved the concept it made me feel like in the 1950 gangster movie. Overall a bit pricey but very good read more

Came here for a work event and it did not disappoint. It was crazy $$$$ but likely due to F1 week. But staff was amazing at what they did and the place is like walking back in time to a super boutique hotel. The food was great and the finishes inside are amazing if u like old school decor. This place would be perfect for those special occasions as it's done up properly. read more

One of the most amazing bar experiences we have enjoyed in many, many years. So much so that we returned three nights in a row while staying at Mount Stephen. The dining experience was off the charts! The most balanced lobster risotto dish I have ever consumed. My husband's Beef Wellington was melt in your mouth delicious. The service from Max was stellar in the dining area while Emma and team created a dynamic yet intimate lounge experience night after night. The cocktails are superb and the wine list just right for any evening. The room has charming little cubby areas to hide off in with your partner or side rooms for groups of friends to enjoy lively conversation. A DJ spun tunes for the crowd and provided a great backdrop of music. read more

There are so many good things I have to say about this place. I will start with; there is a reason it's always full and it's worth the wait. The architecture of the building is timeless and beautiful - go to the bar and the restaurant and if you can take a look at the hotel. The ambiance is warm and inviting BUT Canadians and everything in Montreal just BE that way naturally - especially compared to New York...so let's skip the obvious and move to the important part... The drinks and food are simply stated; IMPECCABLE. Starting with the oysters, super fresh and incredible. There is fresh scotch bonnet sauce that was one of the highlights of my meal. It has a high Scoville score and isn't for the faint of heart. It's punchy and bright - with a colorful island forward flavor. I was literally pouring it on everything I could. Try it if you love spice. It's so amazing. The only reason I think the chef hasn't bottled it is because he hasn't fallen prey to American capitalism. That sauce would FLY OFF OF SHELVES. It needs to be on hot ones as one of sauces that kicks you in the ass but still has amazing flavor. The truffle gnocchi was artfully made; equally light and pretty filling without being heavy. I suggest getting the bread with it so you can soak up all of the sauce. I literally struggled to maintain composure and not lick the sauce off of the plate. The BG salad was perfectly dressed. The octopus is fresh and unexpected and the crudo has a coconut forward refreshing flavor. You can tell there is a Mauritian influence in the food that brightens everything up and gives the meal this unique tropical edge. Onto dress code...there technically is not one - but this is for the cute girlies with love. Don't wear anything tight. I inhaled this food and Unfortunately for me, I wore a corset to dinner which I almost busted open. For much of the dinner I was really focused on not actually exploding because I didn't want the constriction to stop my enjoyment. I even had to lean back in my chair like a 19th century Victorian monarch who couldn't breathe following tight lacing...think Bridgerton meets Kirby. I learned my lesson and will definitely be back with more food appropriate attire next time. Something flowy perhaps. Maybe even a bib... Thank you chef Kevin and team for an amazing experience! read more

We were staying at Mount Stephen so made a reservation for Bar George for our first dinner after a 6-hour drive. The hotel itself is in the tower behind the original mansion while the restaurant is within the original structure. The ambiance is unmatched from the grand staircase to the architecture of the beautiful restaurant. The large steak tartare that comes with fries was the perfect starter to go with the drinks. Although on the pricier side, the beef wellington was worth every CAD while the chicken roulade was just okay. The unrushed service and perfect pacing of the dishes was just a taste of what was to come for our stay in Montreal. read more

Ate brunch here, menu was a bit limited but still really good. The interior is one of the most beautiful I've ever dined in. Hamachi crudo was delectable. Lobster omelette was great. Full English breakfast was very good but for the monster price I'd have preferred warmer bread, more toasted tomatoes, and slightly more meat. read more

As I was at O'Hare airport in Chicago, someone overheard me talking about going to Montreal and the told me they had a blast and gave me places I needed to check out. Bar George was the first thing that came out of his mouth as I mentioned I love carefully crafted cocktails. He also mentioned the burger was amazing. Made it to my hotel around 6pm so I dropped my bags and freshened up a bit. I checked OpenTable and they didnt have reservations available until 9pm. It was 6:30 and I was hungry and thirsty so I figured I would just show up. Once my Uber made it in front of the building, I was greeted by a doorman as I exited the car. I looked up and was like wow as its an old mansion transformed into a hotel/restaurant. The inside is pretty impressive! I had to wait about 10-15 mins to get a bar seat and it was worth the wait. I of course went with a mezcal cocktail known as The Last one which includes tequila Patrón reposado, mezcal Del Maguey, cordial bleuts & eucalyptus and lime. A very good cocktail and I had a couple. Crowd here was very vibrant as I saw groups, couples and singles enjoying themselves here. I took the guy at the airport's advice and ordered the burger in which the bartender told me eh its ok lol! He was right...was a good burger but nothing special. Should have gotten the Beef Wellington. Place is kinda sexy...I like it! read more

This restaurant is in an old mansion. The woodwork and character of the place is unbelievable! You should take some time to walk around and enjoy yourself. Especially upstairs! The staff here is magnificent! Everything was flawless, except for the time they brought me the wrong beer once . But that was rectified immediately. Everything we ate here was delicious. From start to finish the care and affinity from the kitchen staff was obvious. The cream of mushroom soup was amazing . The oysters were outstanding. The caviar service was the best we've ever had. The beet salad was marvelous. I didn't care for the sauce on the hanger steak, but I should've asked them to have it on the side. That was my mistake. The ambience here is unbelievable. The restaurant is a little dark, so sorry about the pictures. Take some time to walk around the place and enjoy it. read more

The interior is gorgeous and their drinks and wine are perfect. We ordered the burrata appetizer along with two gin cocktails and two glasses of wine and both exceeded expectations, even being the least expensive wine by the glass on the menu. We chose to hang out in the bar as it was mostly empty and it was great. Very beautiful and delicious and the staff was very kind. We wanted a sweet treat and were suggested a sampling of mini desserts and it was perfect. We will return. read more

The ambiance here in unbeatable in Montreal! The inside of this hotel lobby and bar have a very old school feel. It's very homey but super cool. Lots of wooden walls/ceilings with paintings and artwork. A couple of very cool fireplaces to boot. We stopped in here for a quick bite - avacado toast with a bloody mary for breakfast. Top notch...I'd definitely come back to enjoy the space and drinks! read more

Bar George - Roasted stuffed eggplant - British Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Well...disappointing. In town with 12 friends for the Habs vs Penguins game and did some bar hopping in downtown Montreal. Heard about this place, walked in and was super excited (you can tell by the pictures how impressive it is)...such an unbelievable atmosphere. Cool vibe. Old style, mixed with a hip crowd and music. But...they treated us like garbage. The bar was empty besides 4 people, we assumed we could just sit at the bar (like most places at 3pm on a Wednesday!) but nope...not "allowed" and after the behind the back eye rolls from the bartender (my friends saw it) and she let us know annoyingly "did you check with the hostess?" We went and found a seat. So the hostess...who was evidently annoyed with us as well, threw us a bit more shade as she seemed to go out of her way to seat us...again, it's not like the place was "buzzing" with busy-ness??!! So we sat down...got our drinks, the espresso martini (weak!!), mystic triangle (good!) Dark & Stormy (too much alcohol)... So here we are...in a magnificent atmosphere, living our best life on a Wednesday afternoon in the great city of Montreal...getting treated like crap and served expensive "meh" drinks. If your going to be that "uppety", hire a real mixologist and make it worth while!! read more

The restaurant is inside the Le Mount Stephen hotel and is absolutely gorgeous. It was a former private home (mansion) with a grand staircase, stained glass and two beautifully decorated rooms for the restaurant. The service was fantastic, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable and the food was even better. We split the grilled eggplant as an appetizer and it was incredible. So much flavor, different textures and honestly eggplant has no business being that good. For the entree I got the beef wellington which was well worth the price tag. The presentation was like art and the dish was cooked perfectly with lots of different savory flavors. It is not an inexpensive meal by any meals, but given the quality of the food, service and ambiance, I think it is well worth it and would definitely go back. read more

Absolutely Gorgeous! Step back in time, rejoice for the quality of the kitchen, staff, and ambiance. I treated myself to a Beef Wellington because, well, because Gordon Ramsay, and I found it to be one of those dishes to which one lovingly says 'Baby, why had we not met sooner?' Cocktails were on point, with the server asking all the reassuring questions. Service was friendly, amiable, and flawless. The beef... I shall cherish the memory of that noble beast forever read more

1st day in Montreal with the SO and we had lunch at Bar George, which is located in a fancy hotel...the stairs to the entrance are covered with red carpet. SO enjoyed the hamachi crudo and I had the lobster omelet. Note: the fries and tater tots that they came with were salty, so instruct them to go lightly if you're watching your salt intake. Bottom line, the main dishes, service and ambience were excellent! read more
