The interior is splendid and gives off vintage first date vibes, and the service is equally pristine, with a polished selection of superb cocktails. Kudos on our hosts that evening, who made sure to prep our orders in a timely and flamboyant fashion. My husband rolled on very tasty IPAs and I had a rosemary lemonade and a couple of Zubrovka shooters. We'll definitely go back!

You want to be brought in and it's dark and moody with the BEST craft cocktail list. The theme is duck - which is so fun. Our bartender was OUTSTANDING. He gave not only the best drink recommendations, but also gave us a hand written list of his favorite spots in MTL (drinks, dining, activities, etc). I wish we would've gotten his name because I cannot praise him enough!

The Coldroom is a fantastic bar and definitely worth visiting. We actually ended up going twice…read moreduring our trip, and each visit was a little different. The first time, the music was extremely loud, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. The bar was completely packed, and there was only one bartender making drinks, so the wait was a bit longer than expected. We decided to give it another try, and I'm so glad we did. The second visit was amazing! The bartender working that night was incredible--she clearly knows her craft and made our drinks quickly without sacrificing quality. Every cocktail was delicious, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Coldroom. My only suggestion would be that, with a space that busy, the bar could really benefit from having an additional bartender during peak hours. It would help keep wait times down and make an already great experience even better.

airport lounges can be hit or miss, so i was pleasantly surprised by this little oasis tucked…read moreinside the domestic departures area of montréal-trudeau international airport (yul). located near boarding gate 1, the lounge is airside after security checkpoint a. simply turn right after security and you'll find it behind starbucks. there are only two lounges serving domestic departures at yul, this one and the air canada maple leaf lounge, so it's no surprise they get busy. unfortunately, no one enjoys being turned away from a lounge they're entitled to access, especially when it means wandering the terminal before coming back. i was initially placed on the waitlist, but i appreciated receiving a text message as soon as space became available. one thing to keep in mind is that preference is given to amex cardholders, so your wait may vary depending on how busy it is. what surprised me, though, was that we weren't even allowed to wait in the takeaway area to charge our devices. i had thought that space was intended for guests waiting to enter, but we were asked to leave and return when we received the text. it wasn't a huge inconvenience, but it would have been nice to have somewhere comfortable to wait instead of roaming the terminal. once inside, the experience improved considerably. food is ordered through a qr code at your table, while coffee, tea, premade salads, desserts, are available from the self serve stations. during my visit, the lunch and dinner menu offered avocado toast, orecchiette salsiccia, hot dog, creamy lemon and caper chicken, and house made blondie with ice cream along with alcohol, sparkling and champagne. i got the roasted chicken with basil, confit garlic potatoes, two-colour cauliflower, and a lemon caper sauce. everything was fresh, the chicken was tender, and the potatoes were nicely cooked. it was a surprisingly satisfying meal and definitely a step above typical airport food. the lounge itself was clean, modern, and noticeably quieter than the terminal outside. after finding a comfortable seat, it was easy to unwind with a meal, a coffee, and a chance to recharge...both myself and my phone. one thing worth knowing before you settle in: there are no washrooms inside the lounge, no showers. if nature calls, you'll need to leave the lounge and use the public airport washrooms before returning. overall, i enjoyed my visit. the food exceeded my expectations, the self serve beverage selection was good, and once inside, it provided a relaxing escape from the busy terminal. my only real criticisms are the waitlist process and the lack of a designated waiting area for guests who have already checked in. being turned away is disappointing enough; not even being able to sit in the takeaway area and charge your devices while waiting felt unnecessarily restrictive. would i visit again? absolutely. next time, though, i'll arrive a little earlier, expect a possible wait, or maybe just apply for an amex.

First of all, the lounge is laid out well with different types of seating from bar stools to booths to cushioned seats. It's also kept clean of clutter. It looked spotless when I went around 8 a.m. on a Monday in July. Every table/place to sit comes with a QR code you scan to order made-to-order dishes. For breakfast, they had toasts, avocado toast, eggs, breakfast sandwiches and more. The sausage breakfast sandwich was hearty and comes with potatoes. At the bar are fruit cups, yogurt, and fresh fruit. They have an area for to-go boxes if you're in a rush. There are alcoholic drinks at the bar and several coffee machines that make lattes, etc. They also have orange and apple juice for breakfast. Many tables have magazines on them, outlets nearby, and strong wi-fi. Staff are friendly and attentive. One thing to note is that there are no restrooms inside, but there are nearby.

We walked in on Friday night and were greeted by the owner. He's a very attentive host and went above and beyond explaining each dish and how fresh they were. We ended up ordering the beef tartare with seared scallops and steak. It was to die for. The steak was accompanied by their homemade sauce. The owner paired both of our dishes with the perfect wine, it was his suggestion by the way. We topped everything off with two massive cheesecakes for desert. We both left this place satisfied! We will definitely come back again, especially in the summer where you can sit close to the docks and watch the boats sail by!
