It's a fairly large space with seating out front as well as a downstairs bar area and an upstairs area that then opens up to a small backyard area! The music was pretty ok, nothing I wouldn't expect from a local bar. However, on the Sunday night I was there, there was a live singer/guitarist in the main area, which candidly I could have done without. Lots of TVs with sports on to watch. The staff was nice as well and I enjoyed wine, an espresso martini and a very large glass of cider. I'm writing this review mainly because this might have been some of the best poutine I've ever had, flavor wise. The curry was really something and we ate every last fry and piece of cheese. I would come back here just for their poutine.

Irish eateries in M cities - 2 of 2…read more I have always wanted to eat Irish food in Montreal. Montreal has had a thriving Irish community centered mostly in Pointe-Charles but, like other European groups, they've disbanded little by little and moved further out or to exurbia. I have an acquaintance with immigrant Irish parents whose family moved from Montreal to Chateauguay on the Rive Sud, which is practically in New York state! I once found an Irish pub (that's still there) located on St.-Denis, practically across from Pizzeria dei Compari. Their menu has always seemed spotty because they appear more focused on the pub than on the eatery. (Sure, the mark-up is better on booze than on food they have to cook.) Thus, it was back to the drawing board. I did find a place on the west side, in the Financial District and near McGill. Its name is McKibbin's Irish Pub and it's on Rue Bishop. I was excited that they featured shepherd's pie (which I was looking for), but not expecting too much. I did order it, along with a cup of coffee. The shepherd's pie was good, but not up there with some of the memorable ones I've eaten. Shepherd's pie that is just good is where the meat is by far the dominant flavor. The ones that are excellent have a more cohesive flavor, where you seemingly taste all of the ingredients simultaneously. I don't know if those are big shoes to fill since some restaurants have delivered. The service was indeed amicable and I got zero attitude for ordering coffee in a pub. The price was fair in the context of being in the Financial District. While there's nothing wrong with it, McKibbin's is not my cup of tea, either. It's darker and parts of it are louder because of the music and/or karaoke. For the quiet I was seeking, I sat in another area. Note that, like many restaurants in this area and on nearby Rue Crescent, they are up a short flight of steps from the sidewalk. It had snowed some and there was some slush on the steps. So, whether you're 25, 55, or 85, hold on to the railing. If I'm craving Irish food, it's to eat. I'm probably better off going to an Irish restaurant during the lunch hour. Again, McKibbin's is perfectly fine if you like Irish and pub food together with libations and the general ambiance. Since I'm not a Montrealer (shucks), I doubt I'll be going back. There are foods and ambiances in which to eat that I prefer more ... and that list in Montreal might be limitless. McKibbin's on Rue Bishop has a solid following and it's shown by reviews and ratings that are good.

My husband and I were at Ye Olde Orchard tonight for dinner. We've been at this pub a few times in…read morethe past several years when we've visited Montréal. We decided to sit on the patio tonight, which was nice because the weather is lovely and warm and you can people-watch while you eat your food. I ordered 1/2kg of medium wings with fries and a cider. My husband ordered a Kilkenny and a burger with bacon and blue cheese. The order was taken quickly and the food came out quickly also. The burger was okay, warm enough and quite tasty but not the greatest. The wings were extremely overcooked and very dry, which isn't easy to do with wings. The sauce was fine. The fries with both dishes were very good. They were nice and hot and very tasty. The Kilkenny was good. The cider was pretty good too. We probably won't return to this restaurant.

Guiness was excellent (I would hope so in an Irish pub), as was the shot of Jameson. Her Fish and Chips were skimpy, mostly fries. My Burger Tip & Top (actually chicken, not beef) was interesting, but not quite what I was looking for. Again, portion was very small, with lots of fries to fill the plate.

And although we did enjoy ourselves overall (who doesn't after a few beers?) the venue we picked was initially less than welcoming. We were met with a disorganized, rude and almost antagonistic manner. We do not remember a time where we were ever treated so poorly. Over the course of the night however, as more people added themselves to our group and beer flowed, this attitude mellowed into a more courteous one. They have a microbrewered line of beers we enjoy very much. Overall the average pub food was satisfying and at par with what you'd expect at similar places. Due to the high end ingredients (duck meat etc) the prices are a little more elevated.

The 3 stars over there is because I had to remove the coleslaw but also their chicken was a bit dry and overcooked and their menu was in my opinion for what we got at least a bit expensive.

My experience with McCarold's has been strictly through delivery via food delivery services due to…read morethe pandemic, but every. single. order has been spectacular, even the ones that take magical trips in the wrong direction... I'm reviewing their veggie burgers here, and the good news is they're one of those places where you can swap out the burger patty of any of their multiple burger options for a veggie one. Their fries are fantastic, reminiscent of twice-fried chip truck fries I grew up with, and their buns and standard addition of crispy onions are pretty great all things considered. Their food travels *extremely* well, and their packaging keeps everything quite sustained, even after 20-30 minutes of delivery time. We've ordered from them roughly 5 times and the average price for dinner for two, with tax/tips/delivery ends up being between $45-$55, which is pretty standard for ordering door to door service in the current climate. I *have* been to their physical location and it's a lovely spot, right next to UdeM, and like many places now, their poutine sauce *is* vegetarian. They have a decent section of beers and scotch as well.
