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!!

While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200. But it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

You can dine-in or take it to go. They have a huge bakery selection right up in the front. Seating along the window with barstools or they have tables located in the middle. I got seated by the window and loved the people watching. Ordered the poached egg panini & a cinnamon roll. The panini is spicy!! So be careful or that is you can't handle much heat. I had to take half to go because of that! Bread was crispy and everything inside paired very nicely. The cinnamon roll was ok, more like a sticky bun vibe. I also ordered a latte with maple syrup and that was tasty too. Staff are all friendly & service is great! Definitely give this one a try!

We went here during the week right when they opened so no line but based on other reviews, this place gets busy and does not take reservations so be aware.

The portions were huge and the mushroom toast was one of the best brunch meals I've had in a long time. A variety of mushrooms along with delicious whipped feta , this meal was the perfect way to kick off our visit to Montreal! They also have a lovely array of coffee drinks as well.

Loved staying at this hotel during our vacation week in Montreal…read more Very nice modern decor with a cozy feel and terrific service. It's a boutique kind of hotel with an updated twist. It's centrally located and close to everything. A lot is within walking distance, or quick cab ride. They offer a car service to drop you off around the city area if needed. Bar and restaurant on site, or just walk across the street to Tin Horton's and the gas station/convenience store for coffee, donuts, and assorted drinks and snacks. Good gym on site for those staying here can use. Outdoor lounge too and a club/bar to party at. They charge for parking and it's a bit pricey but you get a secure space for your car with in and out privileges. The rooms are well done. Comfortable beds, clean, free wifi, large shower, and polished concrete ceilings. Very cool. Room rates were ok and worth it to stay here. Would definitely choose this place again if in Montreal.

This place was not so crowded so we didn't need to wait outside, and the foods was so delicious! We tried their salmon avocado bagel, their Burrata sandwich, and French toast which comes with strawberry, blueberry and banana with Nutella and Maple syrup, and a fruit cup on the side. The portion was pretty big and shareable. My favorite dish was the French toast. Their French toast was so soft and melted in my mouth!! The French toast was pretty sweet with Nutella and the maple syrup, but it perfectly matched with all the fruits. The other dishes were delicious as well, the portion of salmon in the bagel was pretty good and tasted amazing! The server was nice too :) I recommend you to try this place if you haven't!

Food was just okay; foie gras was overly sauced. Service was the main issue. My cappuccino was mostly foam, and the replacement was still charged on the bill. Had to wait for a manager who never showed up until much later, and even then, nothing was resolved--just called it a "miscommunication." Overall, poor service and not worth the trip. Would not recommend.
