Excellent food, excellent atmosphere and very friendly service staff. The food was Amazing and reasonable costs. The vibe was pretty cool, despite being packed and a full house it was pleasant. The meals came out hot and perfectly timed for good conversations, drinks and enjoying the space.

Good food. I ordered the duck poutine it was delicious. Nice staff but not enough of them for the amount of people they cram in. be prepared to wait for your drinks/food even if it’s a simple order. Very tight seating makes it feel overcrowded.

The drinks were really good. The calamari was slightly rubbery indicating it wasn't the freshest but the beef tartare was really nice. Good for a late night stop.

The restaurant has a cheerful, cozy atmosphere with a vibrant downtown vibe. The food was amazing, and the drinks were unique and delightful. While the food took a little extra time to arrive, the friendly servers made up for it. Overall, it’s a great spot to hang out with friends!

Let me first start off by saying that if you are visiting from the states this is the place to go. Atmosphere was low lighting and a total date worthy place. The food was great and not overly sauced, salted or seasoned. The staff (Emily and Mark) were super friendly, accommodating and super attentive. If I was a local this would be my go to spot. Hands down the best place we have been since we have arrived.

Great grill restaurant with amazing food and excellent service! They switched our server last minute but handled it professionally. The customer service was top-notch. The atmosphere was a bit loud, making it hard to communicate, but overall, it was a fantastic experience—solid 5 stars! ❤️

We went here for lunch and it was very cozy and had a lot of tvs with different sports. The servers were very nice and allowed us to stay near the window when it was snowing. We ordered three items, the chicken burger was a 3.5/5 - there wasn't really a wow factor or a must have it again. The grilled salmon was a 4/5 - it had a great flavor to it but it felt a bit slightly overcooked. The prime rib sandwich was a 4.5/5 - the meat itself is very bland so the sauce is really needed but it also didn't give enough wow or flavors as I wanted it to be, but definitely would order again

Good food and friendly staff. The lady at the reception was so lovely and same goes w our waiter. the many isnt very broad but enough for everyone to find something they like- prices are average for Montreal. The Thai Salad was amazing, the ribs very tender, the burger okay but the fries memorable. beautiful place inside and comfy seating.

In Montreal for a concert and ended up at BR. It has been a few years. Went for the rack of ribs with fries and slaw. Was disappointed with the ribs. Not quite the fall of the bones I was hoping for, dry and were slapped with lots of Sauce. I can understand cooking ribs in advance but it had to be a day old give or take. The French fries Julienne style were great and the slaw was also yummy. Our wine was exceptional, smooth and velvety and the tannins were off the chart. Alcool at 15% ABV. Was a tad tipsy 😁

Fun spot to go eat and hang in the afternoon or evening when hungry. Price is median, good for what is served. However salads should come in two sizes as my mother's plate was way too huge for her to finish. Dessert was alright but the brioche wasn't warm and was a bit dry. Overall though very yummy, very wonderful service, and a good selection for bar and grill type of cuisine.

This was such a lovely place! I got a rosé cider and I would definitively recommend it, and I paired it with one of their pretzels. The pretzels are super large and the mustard they serve it with is a classic. Service was great and we had a large group that got accommodated easily.

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

Food: It would be a 4-star for very limited food choices, almost nothing without carbs, but who's there for food? :P Seriously, Great Beers and other drinks for the price. Before-20:00 discount combos and after-20:00 1L pitchers make good deals. Consider the drinks only, 5 stars. Services: helpful. They know their beer and make good recommendations. Atmosphere: good vibe for dating, friendly chats, group reunions, and daytime reading with a nice drink. However, some upholstered bar stools are badly broken and need a check. Some wooden chairs are wobbly too.

Good place, with very good music, good service and a varied menu of beers and drinks. All the options were well served and at a fair price. The Cactus beer was amazinnnnggg, the Bretzel was delicious and enough for for people to share. Good option for going with friends:)
Sara Ferreira Pires - 11 months ago

Amazing outdoor space. I recommend the DunkelKong beer and the bretzel! Amazing pretzel I loved it. Nice curried mustard situation. The indoor space is a little weird too black/dark and too much leather on the seats. Servers are super friendly!

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!

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.

Maria was an absolute delight! Very courteous, respectful and professional. The band, NEON was insane! We can’t wait to come back again. It was way better than I imagined! Thank you!

Le Balcon is a staple in Montreal experiences! Located in an old cathedral, this theater always makes for an incredible time! There’s room to dance if you’d like- most people do! The main floor is tables/chairs set up cabaret style. The balcony is church pews with a thin piece of fabric as your seat cushion. You’ll be up dancing anyways, so don’t get too comfy! Balcony is also “sit wherever” so feel free to move around… but make sure you close out with your server! If you can find them! Once the show starts, I really didn’t see anyone to grab me another drink:( It’s a very intimate venue- there are no bad seats! Very picturesque too! The entrance is on the side street! There’s a coat check for $3CAD and yes they take cards! Beware- there’s a long line aftee to get your coat! The bathrooms are pitiful! Located up a bunch of stairs and then there’s only 2 teeny stalls! For a venue, we need more please!
Jennifer Kripas - 2 months ago

Positive: The show was truly amazing. Excellent performers, really good singing and the crowd was up dancing for most of the evening. The performers had great dance moves. The venue itself is cozy and looks great. Negative: Food could really be improved. The soup entrée tasted like canned soup. Main course was alright and drinks were really missing something, tasted watered down. The wait staff was friendly, but would come ask us if we were finished with our food or drinks way too often. I would definitely go again for the show, but not the dinner.

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

If I could leave more than 5 star review for the service, I would! Catherine was unbelievable and the ultimate example of EXCELLENT customer service. I wanted to treat my parents to dinner after a show they were seeing at PDA, for their 60th wedding anniversary, and wanted to treat them for dinner. Catherine worked with me to try to find a way that this could happen. She offered many different solutions and followed up at every turn. It was impressive!!! When my parents showed up at the restaurant, she treated them with white gloves and made sure their experience was memorable. THANK YOU Catherine for the unforgettable experience. Linda

I was yearning for Asian food and I came across this menu online and noticed the Thai options they had, so I walked here a few blocks from the hotel I was staying in. They were moderately busy on a Tuesday night and they greeted and seated me immediately. My server was great, very friendly and helpful. The menu had a couple of items that looked appetizing, such as the Tom Yum soup and curry chicken stir fry. I started with jasmine hot tea, which was excellent and warming after the walk in 2 degree weather. The soup was warm as well, but flavors weren’t as authentic as I expected. It was decent though. Next up was the curry chicken stir fry and it was really bland, so I used a bunch of their hot sauce to spike it up. I’ve never been to a Thai spot that didn’t have birds eye chili and Prik nam pla, as their hot sauce was a form of sriracha. It was spicy, but not much flavor. Overall, the venue was beautifully decorated and service was great, but food mediocre.

Sesame has some fun food, it's good, creative, and very aesthetically appealing. I will say though that I would go back just for their dessert, I cannot stress enough how amazing they are! The mango sorbet is so fresh, and the sesame and matcha ice cream is a fire match that you need in your life.

My colleague and I arrived at the restaurant late after a long day, having not eaten since breakfast. Despite our late arrival, close to the restaurant's closing time, Greg, our waiter, provided exceptional service. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel completely welcome. We were truly impressed by his outstanding hospitality, and the food was absolutely delicious!
Ashley Ketch - 7 months ago

The location of the place is pleasant, particularly when seated near the windows. Overall, the food quality is satisfactory, but the portions at POKE are insufficient. We found the dishes lacking in salt and sauce. The bowls are oversized compared to standard plates and portion sizes (personal opinion). Despite this, the service was excellent, although they seemed understaffed with only one person attending to everyone (who was very attentive to us). Overall, it's still recommended.
Antoun Shahin - a year ago

Food was alright. Not a lot of taste in the chicken pad thai and it seemed to have a lot of pointless ingredients in it that took away from the good parts of it. My partner got the salmon and tuna poke bowl which looked and tasted much better. Other than that it’s nice spot to eat at and good decent service

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 - 5 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 :’)
Amaia P - 2 months ago

Great spot with a wide variety of unique rolls! The chef was super helpful in guiding me through the options. I ended up going with the 40-piece chef’s choice, and it did not disappoint.

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!
Alen Wang - a year ago

We visit this place with our work colleagues at least twice a week. The sushi here is absolutely addictive! The blend of textures from the fish, panko, and avocado is simply perfect. I would give it a rating of 1000/10 and highly recommend it! Staff is always smiling and nice.

Another wonderful breakfast place located off St-Laurent near the entertainment area. Ordered the American breakfast which consists of two eggs, some bacon, sausage and ham. The meat is smoked especially the ham and bacon. Thick pieces. Potatoes are like thick chips. I opted for tomatoes and ended up tasting house home-made fries from my buddies plate. LoL. Sourdough bread served with our breakfast. I also cheated with their lovely maple syrup wow wow wow. Great spot

Excellent choice of brunch menu - crepes and eggs and veg nice burgers - Generous portions and great quality at very reasonable price Enjoyed the chicken and spinach crepes as well as the burger Smoothie of the day was super healthy and very good and the latte bol very large with lots of foam though

I love coming here for breakfast. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the location. Even though it’s inside the mall, it has its own entrance and atmosphere. It’s usually quite busy, but the service is always fast and courteous. The portions are generous, and the fresh juices are absolutely fantastic.

Stopped here for a bite to eat with my family while on vacation. It was a great spot for a good quality lunch. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They “loved it” and I too enjoyed the meal. Great staff, great food. I had the chicken and waffles and I can say the sauce they give with it is absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommend this place and the chicken and waffles.

Reserved for a birthday dinner. Atmosphere and service were amazing and food was good, portions could be bigger for the price range. Cocktails were good. The only thing is the place is very tight especially for big groups but other than that I would definitely come back.

The food was bang on! 🤩 The Valentine’s menu was prepared with a lot of thought put in by the chef. The ambience was great with dim lights. The service could have been better. We had to wait around 30mins before we could be seated even after a reservation & arriving before time. Moreover, the music played could been turned down as it made it a bit difficult to listening to the person sitting across the table. Overall the experience was superb. Recommend to try out the food @Tiamo❤️

If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience, TIAMO is the place to be! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The hostess was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that every guest is well taken care of. You don’t just feel like a customer here—you feel like family. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! Their wood-fired pizza is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside, yet light and airy inside, with just the right amount of char from the oven. Every ingredient tastes incredibly fresh, and the flavors are bold and authentic. And if you’re a pasta lover, prepare to be blown away. Their homemade pastas are an absolute must-try—cooked to perfection and coated in rich, flavorful sauces that taste like they came straight from an Italian kitchen. Every bite is pure comfort, packed with authentic, homemade goodness. The atmosphere at TIAMO is cozy, inviting, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re on a date, out with friends, or just craving an incredible meal, this is the spot to be. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place where passion for food and hospitality shine through in every dish. Do yourself a favor and experience it for yourself—you’ll be hooked from the first visit!

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. We reserved a table for 6 on a busy Friday night, and really enjoyed our experience. We got the table right away, sat on the upper floor which is very enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing. There were several waiters per floor which is great when very busy, and there were all kind and helpful. Food was really good, (took and entree and a salad and it was the perfect amount) and the ambiance is chill, people are generally dressed up, we stayed for nearly 3 hours. Desserts are a must!!

It's a very cozy spot to go with friends and family. A main dish is less than $30, and the ingredients are super fresh. I love the pizza there, but keep in mind that the menu always changes, so your favorite pizza may not be available on your second visit. We ordered gnocchi and pizza with sausage, and both were very good. I highly recommend this place! They have two floors, so I've never seen a line when having lunch on the weekend, but you could make a reservation just in case.

This is a good spot for brunch and food wise : Loved the breakfast pizza - the egg on top was much better than expected. Feta cheese scone - pretty good but felt it would be better if it was a little more of a crispy exterior. Very yummy and a cheesey flavour Duck thigh - not my favourite but others said it was very good although the duck meat could have been a little more tender Silky Tofu salad - very very nice flavour and lots of fresh veggies. I will also say the tofu was NOT silky but on the very firm side (so this was disappointing) Pancakes with maple ice cream - excellent. but felt they should have added another pancake to fill out the plate.. (personal peeve). The Panisse fries - very very good. Good balance of halloumi, eggplant, chickpeas and dressing . Would I come back - probably would return but would love to try the other menu options - you won't be disappointed to try this spot.

Love this place! The ingredients feel so fresh and the flavours are beautifully balanced. We love the decor as well—there’s such a cozy but light and refreshing atmosphere to it! Im a huge fan of any of the salads and their breakfast pizzas. There’s truly something for everyone here. Probably one of the best places for brunch/lunch right downtown!

Love this place! It’s wide, well decorated, super cozy and the tables are well-spaced. Ambiance is nice for groups or for smaller tables. Our waiter was super helpful and patient, and everything we ate looked and tasted yummy. One of my fav spots for group-meetings because you can eat sweet and savoury, small or heavy meals, or you can have a coffee or a drink. Great variety!

Came here for a girls night. Beautiful and fun setting, kind of pricey (but not crazy for this area of town). The food and drink variety is great! Honestly, a great way to spend the evening.
