    Busy street full of bars serving food, and I stopped here because I was specifically craving a smash burger. The space itself is cool--bar seating, tables, an upstairs area, and a patio. Service was friendly too. The burger comes with fries, salad, or coleslaw. I went with the vinegar-based coleslaw, which was decent. Unfortunately, the "smash" burger wasn't really smashed at all. The patty was thick, lacked that crispy grilled edge and flavor, and honestly tasted more like a premade burger than a true smashburger. Two bites in and I was over it. The hunt for a good smashburger in Canada continues.

    As has become a tradition, this is my stop on Sunday night after the Grand Prix. Always pleasant service and great food at a great bar right in the middle of the Crescent street fair. It's gluten friendly and tonight I ate at the bar. I had a Montréal smoked meat smash burger on lettuce bun with coleslaw. Simply delicious. Did I mention they make the perfect size and shape lettuce buns. The actually look like a bun!

    Came here on a Friday night, no need for resys which is great. Was seated downstairs by the entrance which was a little annoying because it was cold everytime someone opened the door. Service was good, quick and friendly. I got the shenanigans burger with fries and two sauces on the side, truffle and garlic. Honestly everything was yummy. Burger was cooked perfectly, even though I didn't specify how I wanted it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good burgers in Montreal.

    Burger no bun!    Good fries as well

    Fast service, clean place and good food. We sat upstairs where it was relaxing and calm after a busy day of walking I enjoyed our meal there.

    Wow looking at the response you can see how terrible the customer service was! I didn't say I didn't have service I said not all of us did! I had internet but not everyone in our group did. Since again we are in a different country and not everyone has the same phone company. I mean why would I lie about it this? Also, why would you give us one menu!? That literally makes no sense, and based on your response it seems that you spitefully gave us only 1 menu for a group of 5. Im sorry maybe you have an issue with tourist but I think you should understand how international coverage works and not have menus at your door if you don't want people to use them! Also, I was the one who picked this restaurant and said I wanted to go here so why would I be rude and aggressive? I did say to my group, not to the staff that I was okay with leaving after you told us to not sit down after we placed an $80 order! The fact that you are not apologizing and are finding excuses is terrible. Oh and you gave us "complimentary ice water"?! It's water, it's free! We just spent over $80 and you kicked us out from sitting down inside, you should have offered us more than water, like are you joking?' I was going to update this Yelp review to talk about the food and what I thought, but after this comment I'm going to let others decide if they want to eat at a place that treats people the way you guys did. If you are the manager and this your response no wonder you staff is as unfriendly as they are. And please don't act like it was us who upset your staff the girl would took our order was having issues with other people on your staff. We could hear them arguing with each other! Oh and I was aggressive? That is hilarious! Please explain what aggressive thing I said or did? I didn't say anything about how rude you guys were because I knew I was going to write a Yelp review! One thing I hate in this world is when people lie! Oh and I love how you never commented about how you told us to leave from sitting at the bar. Seriously, you are restaurant do better and treat your customers with respect!

    All the burgers were delicious. The service is good. The restaurant has an edgy hip cool young vibe.

    Jack Daniels burger

    The food is good! Love the cheese and gravy on the poutine. The burger buns are fluffy and fragrant. Service is wonderful. We sat next to the stairs which wasn't too pleasant due to the busy foot traffic to the bathroom.

    Roadhouse Burger

    Great service, very professional and friendly. Food quality was perfect! Definitely a must yo try!

    Wowwwwwww...best smash burger ever! Two levels. Great service. I had the red ale and it was fantastic. I craved the smash burger all day and can't wait to return!

    December 2022 - COVID Review: I wish I knew ahead of time how delicious this restaurant would be - we definitely would've saved it for last on our trip! Despite being voted #1 best burger in Montreal (yes, the burgers are really good), the poutine was SO good here. So good in fact that it actually set the bar too high for the rest of our Montreal trip that all other poutine we had just didn't taste good. The hangover poutine is a must have - the egg really makes a huge difference. The food here was so delicious that we considered making a second visit for lunch or dinner before leaving Montreal.

    Double smash burger w/ chipotle mayo

    Food was delicious. Service was pretty good. Its a cool ambiance, definitely feels very american. Bathroom soap dispenser was broken.

    I discovered this gem last Sunday and was so impressed by the burger and service that I came back. Today was the Big Blue and let me tell u. Those BBQ chips inside with blue cheese were the cherry in the cake lol. Firestorm burger was also great. If u want to feel some heat than do it. Burger bar blonde beer to compliment the meals and I'm in heaven. Thanks to the lovely ladies who were so sweet and attentive. I will be back.

    Id say this one of the best burgers I've ever had! I had one with mushrooms. The burger itself was juicy and flavorful. The fries I got with it were also the perfect texture. The service here was a bit slower, but they were quite busy. The place has pub vibes.

It's quite busy with the brunch crowd, but not like dinner hours. We had delicious drinks, clearly huge servings of great food, and a nice time just hanging out. We didn't feel rushed and got to just enjoy one another's company. It is tight seating admittedly, and not super comfy, but I'll take it for the yummy food. Will be back for breakfast.

Pooh and I loved our drinks but for the price there should have been more alcohol and less ice. Marie wasn't crazy about her drink. She thought it was more like a cherry juice drink We shared the Calamari platter which was piping hot and had a delicious dipping sauce which Marie kept for her fries. For our main meal I ordered their Fried Chicken Salad. Pooh ordered Apollo à la Brasa, and Marie had Lobster Roll with fries and salad. I liked my salad but since it was "fried chicken " I thought the chicken would be hot. It was just warm so the skin wasn't crispy; more loose like sagging skin. Pooh loved his dish but it was a tad salty and greasy. Marie loved everything. Each of us had a Brazilian coffee which was delicious. After we shared an order of their Beignets. These beignets were huge and came with two dipping sauces: caramel and whipped Nutella. They were heavenly Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was lively - great music too We would definitely return. I will try a different dish.

We stayed…read moreat 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!!

From the moment…read morewe walked in, the host, a sweet older gentleman, offered us paper towels to dry up, since we were soaken wet even with umbrellas. He seated us in the booth and got our little children settled in with coloring material. He was so gentle spoken with our children, and for that matter, the entire staff was! Our family felt welcomed and not a bother. You would be surprised at how few places make us feel this way, even though our children are calm little beings. Ok, now... to the food! When I hear brisket, I think of Texas styled BBQ, this brisket is different, this is a deli style brisket, think Reuben Sandwiches. The brisket was sliced so thin and was juicy, it was delicious!

I'd never had the French Canadian heart-attack-on-a-plate, and was a little nervous as it just looks like it has A LOT going on. I sludged into La Banquise dead sober at 4:11am, as this is a legendary spot that is open 24 hours. I sat down in a bustling no frills atmosphere and remembered my deep appreciation for a 24-hour diner. You see people for who they really are this early in the morning. A couple in front of me was in a heated argument about what "being exclusive" really meant, while two separate groups of 4 to my right were feeling no pain and enjoying a poutine night cap. There I was, sipping on my black coffee mentally prepping myself for the 45 mile (72 km) day I had in front of me. The dichotomy of life. I asked the server what the most popular item was, and he said La Scooby. This monstrosity consisted of fresh cut fries, cheese, gravy, ground beef, bacon, onions, fried pickles, and caesar dressing garlic sauce. I got the small ($12.40 usd), but this thing was a TANK. It was bigger than my head and I have a HUGE head. The large must be a family style portion or somethin. Upon first bite, it was damn good. I completely see the poutine appeal. Is it an ideal meal dead sober at 4:11am? No, absolutely not, but this is an S-tier hangover food. Also, if there is ever a day when I need some extra calories, it's on a 100k step day. All the staff was so welcoming, and surprisingly chipper this early in the morning. SHOUTOUT TO LA BANQUISE! THANK YOU FOR FUELING THE JOURNEY! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I took my niece from New York City here because La Banquise is supposed to be the "must try" poutine spot in Montreal. We had a great night overall: soccer game, drinks at Mellon Brasserie (none of us were drunk; my wife was 100% sober). Everything was fun and chill. But La Banquise completely ruined the end of that trip, and I'm not okay with letting this go. We paid for the food and service. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: at the end of the day, we were customers, and we deserved to be treated with respect. We waited for our Uber outside. It was cold, and I'm on crutches, so my injuries hurt badly in the cold. After waiting outside for a long time with the Uber not showing up, we went back inside to wait near the door, in the corner, not blocking anyone. The staff at the door immediately came in and started rudely and aggressively kicking us out. He refused to speak English with me after I clearly said, "I don't speak French, so talk to me in English." He kept talking French and was rude to my wife, my niece, and me. He told the waitress in French that we were "blocking the way," which was 100% false. (My wife speaks French) We were just standing near the entrance, waiting for a few minutes, trying to get out of the cold. When I went to the cashier and explained, "This guy is kicking me out. I just paid for my meal. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: you're still a customer, and you shouldn't be kicked out and treated like trash just because you're waiting for your Uber on crutches. I'm on crutches, it's cold, and my Uber isn't here yet," they called a waitress who also started telling us to leave instead of helping. She didn't try to find a solution; she just said, "No, no, leave, leave." This is not just bad service. This is disgusting, disrespectful treatment of a paying customer with a mobility issue. My niece, who had a blast all night, ended the trip saying, "What the f....? You bring me here and they treat us like this?" She now has a bad impression of Montreal because of this place. My niece is from New York City, and she's also posting her own review. That review will be seen by people in New York and by tourists looking for recommendations. If you treat tourists like this, you're not just ruining one night, you're ruining the image of the whole city. Montreal is supposed to be a welcoming city for tourists and people looking to have fun and be treated with respect. La Banquise failed that completely. The food was okay, but the experience was terrible because of how we were treated. This is unacceptable. You should be ashamed of how you handled this.
