    Vegetarian burger, curly fries with garlic mayo
    Shahanaz B.

    Through DoorDash, I ordered from Chef on Call. I heard many many positive comments about this place. My sister is obsessed with their milkshakes. I wish I could get milkshakes, but my stomach doesn't agree with milk unless it's lactose free. Sadly, the option wasn't available. I opted for a vegetarian burger with curly fries and side garlic mayo sauce. The burger itself was well done and greatly dressed. It was delicious. The curly fries were absolutely succulent, and garlic mayo sauce made the whole dish special. Definitely to retry this place again and again.

    We hired Chef on Call to cater for our yearly Research Day conference. We had always delt with building services for catering before, so we were a bit stressed about how ordering from outside would go. We contacted them well ahead of time (this summer) to get an idea of the menu and pricing, and one of our coordinators went to sample the food. She returned more than satisfied and full! After comparing prices with two other catering services, we decided to go for Chef. On the day of the conference, Chef on Call arrived ahead of time and discretly set up the tables and plated the food. When the morning conference presentations ended, we all headed over to the lunch area - which was a sight to behold!! The tables had been covered with tablecloths and large platters of wraps, sandwiches, veggies, fruits, treats, bakeries and more. There was also plenty of ustensils, plates and napkins. According to our post-conference surveys, the lunch was actually a highlight of the day for most people! I think there was more than enough food for everybody, but even then, our guests finished all sandwiches. Fruits also flew away from the plates. There was quite a bit of veggies and salads leftover, much to the delight of our money- and vitamin-deprived graduate students (they brought them home after the event). We were very happy!

    Yooo so good

    This is the best super late night joint I've ever been to. Open till 4am! Gnarly! And this place was literally a 1 minute walk from my flat. And you guessed it, veg-friendly. Mind blown. I went here two nights in a row, around closing time, and ordered the veggie burger and vegan poutine both times. Dude. Best poutine I had during my stay. And the veggie burger was almost too good I made the cashier double check it was def vegan the second night. Their curly fries were unreal too. The serving sizes for one entree were fit for two people and the price was quite reasonable. This is the epitome of a late night veg-friendly drunken guilty pleasure. Come to America please! Cheers.

    Chef On Call is my late night booty call. Some days it's good and some days it's ordinary. Yet it's still my go-to for cravings in the middle of the night! My favourites from Chef on Call are the milkshakes (Orea with extra Nutella), hot dog, Popcorn Chicken, poutine and curly fries!! The burgers are average, the wraps are below average. This place is definitely a hit or miss though. I order often from here, and most days it's the same order. Some days the quality, flavour and quantity is a 10 and other days its a 4. Would be great if they would take feedback seriously and make these changes!!! Regardless I would recommend Chef On Call for those late night bingeing PMS sessions!!

    Small poutine with bacon
    Justine S.

    I haven't gotten delivery from this place yet, but dining in was a very fun experience. I like the layout of the store, I think the staff was really nice. They also have this base walk-in menu where everything is 10$! and it comes with a drink. That's pretty great in my opinion. I ordered the poutine with bacon and an oreo milkshake. The poutine was good, I've had better, but it was well made. The milkshake is the definite winner. It was so good, it's nothing like those places that say it's a milkshake but really it's just ice cream in a cup with a straw. The oreo milkshake was so smooth and pleasant and refreshing. It even had little bits of oreo to add some crunch.

    Mushroom Melt Burger
    Shannon C.

    Super great burger and amazing milkshake! This place was near my Airbnb and it was very clean inside. We saw the owner walk around cleaning, offering customers water while waiting for their orders, and making sure his employees cleaned up the tables well. Originally we were going to order online but ended up being close by and ordered take out instead. It was like a dollar something cheaper in store than when we totaled online so that was a weird surprise. Ordered their mushroom burger and it's huge!! All the flavours were great and it was all I could ask for in a great burger. We ordered an Oreo milkshake and it was surprisingly super good, not overly sweet or thick, I couldn't stop drinking it. I'd give a 4.5 ONLY because when we ordered extra sauce, we were missing one container. It really is the little stuff that counts. But would definitely come back to try another burger and shake. Judging from other reviews, delivery seems to be iffy and anything other than burgers and shakes are disappointing?

    First poutine experience!
    Ed A.

    It was my first trip to Montreal, and I knew my first dish needed to be poutine. As it happens, this place was around the corner from my hotel, so I hurried over there and ordered a "small" poutine (as it was late afternoon and I didn't want to over-eat before dinner). Not sure if it got lost in translation or if the "small" in Montreal is actually a medium, but I got a fairly large order of fries/curds/ gravy on the side. I originally intended to eat half and save the rest for the next day (my hotel had both a fridge and microwave). However, the food itself was tasty enough that I wound up eating the whole thing. They had a variety of other fast foods (burgers/sandwiches). Also, given their proximity to McGill, they can attract quite a large number of college students. I'd imagine this place gets mobbed late at night after the bars close, so plan accordingly (I think they close at 4am).

    Boyfriend insisted to order from this place as he said it was good from 4 years back when he first tried. Giving them 1 star so it can grab some attention. As you can see from the picture, we ordered 6 chicken wings and they gave us 5 drumsticks. Might as well call it "chicken drums stick" and cross out "wings" from the menu. We called them, and all they said was it was all random selection and they claimed that chicken is on shortage (lol), there are less wings than drums. We're definitely speechless, and disappointed. They definitely ordered massive drums just because it is cheaper. It is common sense that when we order chicken wings, you expect to get half wings/drums. If it was even 2 or 3 it would've been fine. Server handled the situation badly through the phone when we call back. The other foods tasted great, just so if you want some wings, make sure you seek elsewhere.

    friendly!

    The chef is a life saver, seriously! The hotel I was staying at cut room service at 11p and I had just come in after a 13 mile run...I was STARVING. They told me to call the chef and I'm glad I did. The chef served goodness in tn these various forms... - Poutine: It was my first time to have it in Montreal and the chef did it up right. I was sure to add the chicken and bacon because that's how I roll :) - Chic Salad: Can't resist anything with goat's cheese. Very well prepared and yummy to boot. - Oreo Shake: Oh YES I did. It was amaaazing and I could have had like 10 more. Call the chef, he'll sort you out for sure. Good food and fast delivery...in fact this is some of the best delivery food I've had.

    Oreo Milkshake, chicken tenders and sweet potato fries... Yummm!
    Mar C.

    Seriously though, best place to go to after a night out or if you need to binge eat prior to a stressful exam. Heavy, rich junk food heaven. I always order Chicken tenders with sweet potato fries, a Reese's pieces milkshake and a chocolate chip cookie. Never disappoints. Nice delivery guys too!

    Just opened on Park and it's definitely an upgrade from their old spot on Sherbrooke! Their veggie burger hits the spot when you're crazing one and their fries are perfection fresh and hot out of the flyer. Love the new interior and am always glad for delivery when it's too cold outside. Their online delivery page is wonderful. Try their Oreo Milkshake if you really want to treat yourself!

They took me INSIDE. Through the restaurant. And out the other side into this absolutely fantastic hidden courtyard. Excuse me?? Why did nobody tell me we had upgraded accommodations? The back patio is one of those spaces you'd never know existed from the street. There are stone walls, greenery climbing everywhere, strings of lights overhead and some seriously cool artwork and murals. It feels tucked away from the bustle of Old Montreal and, once the lights came on, had a really warm, relaxed atmosphere. Most importantly, nobody seemed remotely concerned that a tiny Italian Greyhound had joined the dinner party. I was welcomed right in. Mum ordered the trout over couscous, which looked extremely impressive. She did give me some of the trout. Dad ordered the steak frites. I repeat: Dad ordered steak. At a dog-friendly restaurant. While sitting next to a dog. He did not share. I feel like we've covered this issue before. Dad had wine, Mum had a Diet Coke, and I spent much of dinner curled up comfortably with Mum while monitoring the steak situation. There were developments. None favorable to me. But Wolf & Workman is exactly the kind of place we're always hoping to find when traveling: somewhere the humans don't have to compromise on having a genuinely great dinner just because I'm with them. This wasn't simply "there are a couple of tables outside where you can put the dog." I got the good patio. Dogba's verdict: 5 paws out of 5. Dog welcome: enthusiastic Surprise hidden courtyard: exceptional Murals: excellent photo opportunities Evening atmosphere: Mum approved Mum's trout: apparently delicious Dad ordering steak in my presence: provocative Wine for Dad: yes Steak for Dogba: I'd prefer not to discuss it Would absolutely return. Although next time, when someone says Wolf & Workman, I expect considerably more attention to the wolf portion of the clientele.

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

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.
