Even those with more casual interest in beer probably know that DDC makes really great drinks. And yep, they were excellent. I wasn't there to do a long session, so I got a couple tasters, one including Peche Mortal and the other a NEIPA. Two very different styles and both extremely well done. Beyond that, the space had a very old-fashioned look. Really nice wooden fixtures and a very warm, welcoming vibe. The server was also attentive and friendly, but also knew when to let people sit back and enjoy their drinks. You probably don't need me to tell you, but yes, you should go.

When planning my brother's bachelor party weekend in Montreal, I kept him out of the major event…read moreplanning but asked if there were any high-level things he wanted to hit while we were there. He expressed interest in hitting up some breweries, so I did some research and compiled a few we could potentially visit. Brasserie Dieu du Ciel was one of them, and it just so happened we were in its vicinity after our Mile End food tour concluded. That being said, we made our way over. While I am not a beer person myself, I'll have a round or two if I'm with a group, and can appreciate a good brewery. My first impression of Dieu du Ciel was just that - the vibes were on walking in. The space is pretty large - kinda separated into semi- compartmentalized spaces with tables throughout. There's not much decor, but medium-toned woods throughout which gave it a sort of upscale feel. They offer a food menu, but we were just here for drinks. They have a really wide selection of beer - again, I'm no connoisseur, but I could tell that the selection was way more than other breweries I've been to. I ended up getting a cider for the first round and a stout for my second round - both very good. Service was great, and overall we enjoyed our time at Dieu du Ciel. Their selection and comfortable setting made it a standout brewery for me out of the ones I've visited in Montreal - I wouldn't hesitate to return.

B and I ended up sitting outside on the benches that were setup. It was somewhat romantic with the hanging lights. The benches were in a good layout so it didn't feel like it was too crammed etc. Definitely a great place to have a gathering with friends on a hot day. Server was very friendly. B said the beer was pretty good. He said it was not too hoppy and yes it was definitely better than most craft brewery from BC (where we are from). He was impressed. He said he would go back for sure. I have to say Montreal has some really good craft brewery and you know that they don't cut corners like many of the craft brewery back home in BC that is why their flavor is much more apparent and the beer itself is less hoppy.

Weather was giving fall glory this weekend in Montreal. I wanted to enjoy it with a burger, a beer,…read moretop notch fries, and a breeze on my skin. Found this place in a Reddit thread and the Yelp pics sold me. Huge beer spot - the dining room had multiple expanses all leading out to an inviting deck and patio area. Outdoors seating can be a miss for me sometimes since restaurants don't always include seating to fit a wide variety of bottoms but Vices et Versa nailed it! There were small wooden chairs and also long bench/pew seating as well as some smaller standalone benches. Perfect. The beer list was excellent - you already know I got the sour and my husband got a framboise. I knorrrr! My tarty fruity sour vibes are finally starting to wear him down muahahahhaha Ahem. Anyway. Food: I got the bacon burger with fries. He got the spicy chicken thigh sandwich with fries. Let's talk about those fries. Crispy outside, pillowy inside. Yeeesssssss. And Montreal serves them as they should be done - WITH MAYO!! The waiter even took one look at the half full mayo cup that came with my burger and said he'd top it off for me. He gets it. He gets me. I know this place must be rocking on a weekend - if so - 100% worth the wait. Fantastic. On street parking is plentiful compared to other parts of the city. But if you have the time, drink up and call an Uber.

This review is for the Birra beers specifically - each one we had was delicious! We tried the Anne,…read moreFrancesco, and Ginette. The Francesco was a sweet beer that had a very nice vanilla flavour and a good mouthfeel, but was not overly heavy. The Ginette was a perfect combination of sour and hoppy. Both were fairly low on alcohol, which is helpful when you want to try different options! I thought their house beer was so good that I wished they had more of their own options on tap! I did not realize at the time that they were affiliated with La Succursale. The atmosphere was nice - lots of people enjoying their Friday evening. I really liked the wood bar. We didn't try any food, so I cannot comment directly on that, but the dishes looked good based on our view of the kitchen window.

I want to like Birra, heck, I want to love it considering how close it is to my place, but it…read morealways leaves me disappointed. The beer selection is pretty great and most of them are quite tasty, but the smell of varnish (?) from all of the wood is overpowering, the food isn't great and the portions are small, and the seats both inside and outside are uncomfortable. My biggest issue with Birra is the the service, it is consistently slow and never gives me anything close to a warm feeling. With so many other options in the area and the fact that they will not even allow me to tie my dog up to the outside of the patio so that he'd be sitting beside a planter and nowhere near people or the serving staff, I will spend my money literally anywhere else in the neighbourhood.

We started with a flight, and after one of the four didn't taste right, the waiter let us switch that out for another one...which then ended up being my wife's favorite.

My wife had a veggie burger with fries. While a bit messy, she also thought it was very good. Service was friendly and around when we needed it. After eating, we walked inside and around the taproom and windows where you can see the brewing area. Highly recommend!

It's not everyday you can order a little tray of goodies in a bar and discover a kind of food you've never had before! Those mushroomy looking things are SEA WHELKS (bourgots) - a kind of sea snail. Ever so sea-salty and the texture is chewy like squid. Delicious. SMOKED SCALLOPS?! Divine texture and delicate sweet taste. The rillettes were incredible. So was the smoked salmon. A smear of butter or cream to put on the bread along with the smoked salmon is the only thing I would add to this dreaminess. The price was very good for such elegance, around $24.

The beer menu has 24 rotating beers on tap which you can order in an 8 oz glass, 16 oz pint, or a 52 oz pitcher! The food menu had several salads, burgers, poutines, nachos (our neighbors had that!!), hot pretzel (we got that), brisket, Mac and cheese, and dessert. The pretzel was sooo good, hot and doughy. Served with a coarse honey mustard dip and pickled veggies. They had a few specials going on including an all you can eat on Saturdays and Sundays ($35 WITH a reservation). Like I said, nice little pause in the sight-seeing action.

The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived and we were tucked away in a little corner, but that was okay because there were large groups of people there for various celebrations and it was quite loud.
