Loved this place! It gets very busy at night on the weekends once all the shops are closed but the atmosphere was incredible. The food was delicious and reasonably priced (at least for us paying in USD). Service was slightly backed up while we were dinning but that contributed to every table being filled. Overall, would definitely come back here!

A friend and I visited NYKS during our most recent trip to MTL! We ordered the calamari and the duck confit poutine and both were extremely tasty! The duck confit poutine definitely was my favourite- and arguably the best poutine I had in MTL! I definitely will stop by the next time i’m in the city!

My new favorite place! What do we want in a restaurant? Great ambiance, attentive service, delicious meals, carefully crafted cocktails and a reasonable price. NYKS checks all boxes. The steak was delicious and I did a double take when I saw how affordable it was. My wife loved the Fish and Chios with just the right crispiness in the batter. Reservations are a good idea because it does fill out fast!

Good food but terrible service, would rate that metric at zero stars if possible. Finished my first beer before we were tended to for our food order. Advised staff I wanted to pay bill in cash and, whilst I appreciate tipping in customary in Canada and was going to tip due to nice food, we were pressured into a larger tip than what was warranted due to the waiter bringing over a card machine to show us what we "should tip". I hope that this was a one off experience as we would recommend the food.

We stopped in here for a poutine fix. The place was packed! Our server was very friendly, though a bit rushed due to the crowd. We ordered the duck poutine and the bison burger. The duck poutine was unique and tasty, though the fries and gravy could have been better. The bison burger was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, a solid spot, but not mind-blowing.

Baton Rouge for dinner - no problem. Atmosphere is great, lots of space, noise level is good, seats are comfy. Look and feel is great.. The staff is polite, efficient, accommodating (Brandon, in particular was awesome). The menu needs help. Apps (we shared crab cakes) were excellent. Main .. not so. It’s like BR needs to reinvest itself and its menu. Had the Louisiana Chicken that was absolutely ‘smothered’ in peanut sauce - overpowered the chicken, the salad, etc. Grilled Peach Salad - were those canned peaches?? Just ‘unloading spices’ doesn’t give me the flavours and the value I expect at this price. BR, lots of options on this strip, better reinvent your menu here, and step it up.. Fortunately, cocktails here are good, but let’s address and expand the menu .. fyi.. peanut sauce isn’t ’Louisiana’. Figure out what kind of restaurant you want to be.

We actually ate at Baton Rouge on Saint-Catherine’s twice. We are from Saskatchewan and let me tell you this place and the staff went absolutely above and beyond with ensuring a great experience. I have a certified, medically required service dog and they welcomed us with open arms. The atmosphere was relaxing, comfortable and pleasant. Our server on both occasions was absolutely fantastic. The first time we ate there my husband ate a burger and fries (the picture in the menu looked liked what he received), I ate ribs , fries and coleslaw , that was very tasty. Not too saucy & not dry just perfect. The second my husband had the seafood fettuccine, he loved it saying “fabulous, well done and worth the money”, I ate the burger and fries and echoed my husband’s opinion of that it was well put together and tasty! Great job 👏 to everyone that made our experiences wonderful. Thank you from @Phydos Adventures

Went there at lunch time, waited twenty minutes for the waiter to come with glasses of water and ask us if we wanted anything. The Baton Rouge burger was good, nothing surprising, and the Prime Rib sandwich was not really tender.

Food and libations came out quick. Only ordered appetizers-which tasted excellent and cooked perfectly. The garden salad was also amazing. Service was exceptional as well. The ambience and decorum-modern and clean.

They are a great option for a grill restaurant. We ordered BBQ Pork Back Ribs and Louisiana Chicken, the ribs were delicious and the chicken was really good mix of flavors. Highly recommend!

Nice brewery with an old, cozy rustic vibe and really friendly service. The open hours are one of its best features. Definitely try their 🥨 It’s worth it. They don’t serve fries or any other kitchen food. The beer selection isn’t exceptional, but it’s still quite good.

A lovely brasserie near Place Des Arts. Great beer, good music and a cool outdoor space to enjoy when weather permits. I was here on two different occasions. The first night a random wave of about 15 rookie beer drinkers arrived and made life hell for the bartender right before I walked in the door. The second night everything was super chill. Highly recommended place to drink beer before or after a visit to the Place Des Arts. Merci Montreal!

Made a booking that wasn’t seen by the staff. When we arrived we were told no children inside, so we had to sit on the terrace. Luckily it was an unseasonably warm October afternoon. They didn’t have any of the food or drink options we ordered available, despite not being told this when supplied with the menu. What we ended up having was nice, and pretty affordable. Wouldn’t return due to the child policy!

This place probably had the best beer I've ever tasted 5 stars all the way. Didn't eat food there, but I'm sure it was great.

Having a beer in a snowing windy is a unique mood. People are quite right about the music in this place- not too loud, not too high, not too low or aggressive- just about right! The Eurodog, hotdog on baguette, is huge!! A big shock for a Vancouverite! 🤣 #hazyipa #montreal #montrealmoments

The ad is so misleading!! Booked for a Candlelight concert which looked beautiful in pictures. Selected the best seats possible (A section). The ambiance was nothing like what was shown on the website. The musicians saved the day because the music was amazing, but the experience felt cheap. Top picture is the ad, bottom pic is reality.

Had such a blast on the Valentine's jazz night. It's pretty sad to have to rate four stars instead of five for some of small things during it. First of all, the food, the staff, the band, the singer, the wine, atmosphere, location, everything I mentioned above is beyond AMAZING! No complaints on those at all. Sadly I didn't quite enjoy the cocktails so much, we ordered two different cocktails and neither of them can step up with our high expectations, with the price and all the good things I mentioned above. For sure this place is perfect for special occasions, as it's a fancy place to dine, behind and inside of an old church. That part I think it's brilliant! The toilets are quite limited as it's inside the old church but it was not packed at all so I don't find this a negative thing. In summary, best fancy place for live music, food, wine selections not so much for cocktails (in my opinion) OR maybe if you try different cocktails it would have been better. Still recommended!

Beautiful experience ! We had an amazing time; The show including singing and dancing was the most amazing. Food and drinks were delicious and the service was very attentive and fast ! Shout out to our server Aisha ! We are looking forward to attend more events at this beautiful chic venue.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Brunch Gospel with Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe at the Balcon on the 28th, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was really good but the highlight for me was the music. Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe delivered performances that were nothing short of electrifying. It was a good way to enjoy great food while being uplifted by incredible live gospel music.

This place is in the former chapel of the St. James church (I have been told). Just fabulous. The gospel choir is outstanding, the eggs Benedict were very enjoyable and Norman, our waiter, was great!

Horrible attitude from the waitress when I complained how long it took to get served the main dish. (1h15 minutes). Arrogant and rude. She walked away when I spoke to her. I didn't even leave a tip and usually I am a generous tipper. I have been here many times but this is the last time.

Valentin was a great server, super nice and the food was also great!!
Alex Bastien - in the last week

I am really sorry to the owner for his selection of an incompetent and arrogant manager that was working on December 21st. We had the worst experience ever both from a service point of view and food quality. The waiter that she stated that she is also the manager was extremely unprofessional in many sense (communication and service). The food in general was of a lesser quality than a 4stars restaurant. Clearly I will never step in this restaurant in the future. I feel very bad for the customers if the quality and service is the same and also feel bad for the owner for his poor choice of manager !!! I gave a low tip for the poor experience we had and we got insulted in public for it, she told us that we are not allowed in the restaurant in the future!!! As if I will even consider it. I am stunned and surprise how did they get the 4stars

Had a delicious dinner here. Comfortable dining area with option to dine on outdoor patio. They have a mix of pan Asian dishes and did everything well. They had meals for 2-4 but we ordered a few items off the regular menu apps, mains and desserts. We had a round of beautiful cocktails/sake flight and then ordered or my son first: the shrimp tempura and fried rice no protein. These were both outstanding; tempura was so crispy and drizzled with spicy and savory sauces - fried rice was savory & bold giving mild Pad Thai flavors topped with peanuts. Mains started with the juicy Pork and kimchi dumplings; Crispy Orange beef; Salmon tartare with green salad dressed in a creamy sesame dressing; MIL ordered the sampler as main that included Papaya salad/Wontons/shrimp tempura/Vegetable spring rolls with fish sauce. Finished with desserts: green tea & black sesame ice cream and key lime pie.

SESAME was exactly what it said it was, an Asian fusion restaurant. I always wanted to try this place since it looked so chic on the outside. Walking into the restaurant, it was just that. We ordered the salmon tartar for an appetizer, which was delicious and fresh. For main, I got the pad thai with tofu, and my partner got the orange chicken. I was craving Thai food earlier in the day, and this pad Thai was the best pad Thai I've had in a while. It was so flavorful and had the right ratio of noodles to ingredients. I was stuffed by the time I finished, and I immediately recommended this place to someone who loves pad thai. The orange chicken, too, was so tender on the inside and so full of flavor on the outside. Paired with the rice and vegetables, it made a balanced meal. Overall, I would come back for the pad thai. If I'm ever in the area craving Asian food again, I'm sure I'll be there.

We ordered the menu découverte for two and really enjoyed it. The portions were generous, and the variety of dishes did not disappoint. Drinks were excellent as well. The only downside was the restrooms. There are only two unisex stalls, which creates a line, and they could have been cleaned more often. Other than that, it was a very nice overall experience.

The chicken poke tasted really good. Just wish there was more of it. Left a little hungry still but the quality of the food was definitely there

Was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Despite the price being a bit hefty, the food is absolutely amazing. My favorite of them all was the crunchy salmon on lemon slices. It was unlike any eating experience I've ever had before- super flavorful (naturally) and refreshing!! The menu is quite extensive so take your time. Service is helpful and nice. Don't let the looks of the place fool you, it is so good!

I’ve been here a couple times and the food has been consistently delicious and fresh each time! I highly recommend the sushi and rolls, however, I found the poke bowls a bit overpriced for the portion size compared to what you can get at similar places; that’s the only reason this is a 4 star review and not a 5. But overall, this is a lovely place with great staff and very yummy food - I definitely recommend!
Charlie The cat - 12 months ago

Good sushi if you know what to get. I had a bad experience my first time here: I was a bit stingy and I decided to get the cheapest set (12$) with rolls picked by the chef. Sadly I got mostly cucumber and avocado filled rolls. However I decided to give it a second try and got the Seattle roll and Nagoya pizza for around 30$. Both were good! The Seattle roll was flavorful and the Nagoya pizza’s rice was hot and crispy. Both were very filling! I wouldn’t say it’s authentic sushi but it definitely hits the spot. For around 20$ you could get something good, just don’t expect to have a meal for less than 15$ like I did :’)

I stumbled upon this sushi gem recently, and I can't stop raving about it! This place has quickly become my go-to spot for delicious sushi in town. The food here is incredibly fresh, and each bite is bursting with flavor. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just looking for a tasty meal, this place won't disappoint. One of the things that really stands out about this sushi shop is the value for money. Despite the top-notch quality of their ingredients, the prices here are very reasonable. You get a lot of bang for your buck, which is always a plus. In addition to their dine-in experience, they also offer catering services, which I've had the pleasure of trying at a corporate event. The sushi platters were a hit among everyone, and it added a special touch to the occasion. So whether you're hosting a corporate gathering or a special event, this place has you covered. What's more, I find myself frequenting this spot regularly for weekday lunches. Whether I dine in or grab takeout, the experience is always consistent and satisfying. It's become a highlight of my week! Overall, I can't recommend this sushi spot enough. From the freshness of the food to the affordability and excellent catering options, it's a winner in my book. If you're in the mood for some top-quality sushi, look no further than this place!

Wow! Eggspectation truly blew me away! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the vibrant atmosphere and the mouthwatering aroma of delicious food. The staff worked tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Every bite of the meal was a delight, flawlessly prepared and full of flavor. My only wish is that I could visit again soon - it's that good! Hats off to Eggspectation for creating such an unforgettable brunch experience!

We enjoyed a great breakfast at Eggspectation for our last meal in Montreal before heading home. Attentive staff with the food arriving quickly. So many great menu items that it was hard to choose! But everything we had was delicious, and we appreciated the fresh fruit that came with each dish. Great spot that I would definitely visit again for breakfast in the area!

A chain breakfast place. The menu is extensive and has a little bit for every diet. They serve some breakfast cocktails. Service is fast and the place is usually busy. Reservations recommended. The atmosphere is modern and clean. This location is in the center of all the action in Montreal.

Great food. Very friendly service. Lively atmosphere. All day brunch. Pancakes were fluffy. Potato fries were great. Mango Orange smoothie was too sour. I was expecting it to be a bit on the sweeter side. But guess they try to serve healthy food without adding any sugar which is good👍🏼.

Members of my family are immunocompromised, so I need to eat outside, and this place was very accommodating. They have covered seating, but they don’t assume anyone wants to eat outside, in the cold. One waiter agreed to wait on me outside! Food was served quickly after I ordered, and it was very beautifully plated! This place is magnifique!

Tiamo was disappointing. The atmosphere and food were actually quite nice. It has a very chic, elegant vibe when you walk in. The reason why I'd give it 2 stars, though, was because of two things. One, the portion sized were just way too small for the price that I was paying. And two, the service was absolutely terrible. After ordering an appetizer and a main, I expected to be quite full. But I was actually still hungry. This, to me, indicates that the portion sizes were just not that large. The service seemed okay at the beginning. Gave recommendations and took our orders fine. But by the end of the meal, everyone only had one glass of water. A small group came in, too, and was waiting to be seated only to look around and find nobody. No one was there to seat them, nor to give us water. Overall, I won't be coming back. I expect to be treated better for that price.

The atmosphere here is undeniable. It is a hidden gem in this area. The food overall was great. The beet carpaccio was a pleasant surprise. My flank steak was a little too salty for my liking, and I was left to eat it with a butter knife. The server didn't come back during the meal to ask if we needed anything and we couldn't get their attention since the place was a little busy. Overall a great experience that can only improve with a little more attention to the patrons.
Mostapha Bayaa - 4 months ago

No love at Tiamo! Do not go there as a group of more than 10 people. Forced group menu rip off. I payed 75$ for a simple cesar salad, a pizza margarita and one small cannoli. We were obligated to add an 18% tip on top of the 63$ this meal cost me. The people in my table who took a drink payed 90$ for the same meal. We were having a birthday diner with 15 people and one of the people there had health issues and the server would not listen and take into consideration. By 8:30, when the cake was just served we were asked to leave asap because the other group had arrived. However, the restaurant has a good atmosphere and has good decorations. Overall do not recommend. They are better and cheaper Italian restaurants.

Tiamo is a great choice if you’re craving well-prepared Italian cuisine, especially wood-fired pizzas and classic pastas, in a warm, chic atmosphere. Perfect for date nights, family dinners, or weekend brunch. For larger groups, consider booking in advance and be aware of plate size expectations. ⸻ 🔧 Tips Before You Go • Book in advance, especially for dinner; brunch is walk-in only. • Go for the pizzas, which are freshly fried daily. • Some dishes may be standard sized for the price – sharing is smart. • Check out their extensive wine list and cocktail menu at the bar.

We hesitated a bit about this restaurant because of the 4.2 rating… but, ultimately, decided to give it a try because it was more conveniently located than another we considered. The atmosphere is a bit younger than is suitable for us, being, on average, over 60. There was a DJ. I think that covers it. But the service was excellent, and the food was exceptional. Maybe Montreal has a biased scale, being a cosmopolitan city. I'm just from Boulder, Colorado, a place previously considered to be "foodie." We sat at the bar. Sort of like a chef's table. It was fun watching the young fellow making the pizzas and managing them in the wood-fired pizza oven. I had a Tiamo salad, the sausage rigatoni, and a chocolate mousse. All were delicious. The salad was larger than I expected; the rigatoni perhaps a bit smaller, but really just the right size; and the mousse was fantastic! It was light and wonderful. I hope I can sleep after that. You should try this place. Don't be fooled by the 4.2. Also, the total expense included a couple drinks (each) and a bottle of wine, in case you're looking at the budget.

This place is such a cozy spot to hang out with friends or family. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal or weekend brunch. Most main dishes are under $30, which is a pretty good deal considering how fresh everything tastes.We tried the pizza of the day, the poached eggs with mushrooms, and the gazpacho with fish — all were delicious and full of flavor. One thing to note is that the menu changes often, so you might not find the same pizza or other brunch dish on your next visit. But honestly, that’s part of the fun — there’s always something new to try.
Slava Rom - a week ago

Took 20 minutes for a server to ask what we would like to drink. If we had to wait another 5-10 min, I would have left. The pizza was pretty good, however the crust was a little soggy. I wish there was a little more cheese on the pizzas. I understand the style they want to go for but it feels like it's not enough. Staff was friendly.

We had a great experience at Cafe Parvis. The food was delicious and unexpected. The patio was dog friendly which is perfect for us. Drinks were smaller than other places but flavour was on point.
Tracy V - 2 months ago

Best restaurant we visited in Montreal! 🍕 We had the White Margherita, roasted chicken pizza, and beetroot salad—everything was fresh and flavourful. The chicken pizza had a unique Greek twist, and the beet salad with peaches + cayenne habanero vinaigrette was unforgettable. Cozy interior, friendly staff, and clearly a local favorite. Portions are reasonable, but you’ll want more than one pizza if you’re hungry. Definitely worth reserving a table!

I went there for sunday brunch with group of friends. We were upstairs. We were waiting to order the food and it takes us a long time to get someone to take our order. And the food took so long to be served. But the food tastes good. Salad is really refreshing. The poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were amazing. All good, except the long time of waiting
