THE HISTORY OF LA BINERIE MONT-ROYAL June 11th, 1938 Joachim Lussier is the founder and first owner of La Binerie MONT-ROYAL. Assisted by his brother Leo, he decided that the traditional Quebec cuisine and family spirit are the pillars of the establishment. During the first 60 years, several members of their families worked at the restaurant and left their contributions and memories with the customers. La Binerie Mont-Royal has become a culinary institution in Quebec, which is proud to offer authentic Quebec cuisine to all those who want to remember the good experiences of family meals. Memorable experiences are created for all new customers! July 13th, 1966 Leo buys his brother's restaurant. In October of the same year, he hired a "new kid", a waiter, Fernand Groulx rapidly integrating with the Lussier family. In October 1969, Fernand weds Claire, Leo’s eldest daughter. So when Leo decided to retire - he knew that there was someone to take his place! August 4th, 1978, after 40 years of service, Leo sells La Binerie Mont-Royal to Fernand and Claire. The two work together for over 30 years! March 10th, 2001, the secret recipes of La Binerie Mont-Royal are given to a trio of restaurants in Quebec which brought some physical improvements to the restaurant. In March 2002, the torch of Quebec cuisine was purchased and continued by Suzanne Touchette and Bernard Deschamps. November 17th, 2005, Jocelyne and Philippe Brunet became the happy recipients of La Binerie Mont-Royal. They were looking for several months for a restaurant that offered food and special experience, which also had development potential. In hopes of making a cozier restaurant, the bar and the tables are now solid maple and walls are covered with pictures of our family traditions from the great Quebec illustrator Joseph-Edmond Massicotte. Several improvements in the menu were made and continue to be, so that the dishes offered can live up to the required quality, while respecting the authenticity of the Quebec cuisine! They like to offer their loyal customers and the many visitors from other countries, the pleasure of enjoying traditional dishes, making sure they leave with a good memory! Eating at La Binerie Mount Royal... is putting Quebec on your plate! At the La Binerie, you will feel at home!

Petite critique d'un endroit que j'adorais fréquenter... & qui a déménagé, supposément pour faire plus de place aux clients. La Binnerie Mont-Royal.
En ce qui concerne le dernier point, je crois n'avoir jamais été aussi serré dans un resto avant. Je ne rentrais pas dans leur banquette. On nous a offert de nous assoir sur les tabourets autour du comptoir. C'était aussi ridiculement petit. Une fois le diner complété, je ne sentais plus le sang des mes pieds! Pourtant à ma connaissance, il ne s'agit pas d'un établissement dont l'offre cible les personnes maigres, ni à la diète! J'ai une bonne bedaine, mais j'en connais des bien plus costauds que moi là.
Pour ce qui est de la nourriture. Les fèves au lard sont excellentes. Si vous désirez gouter à de vraies'binnes' authentiques à la québécoise, c'est un des rares endroit où aller. Presque partout ailleurs, on vend surtout des fèves au lard dans l'eau, plus ou moins sucrées ou sans saveur.
Le bacon & la viande étaient aussi très bien. Les saucisses? Bof.
Par contre j'aimerais parler du pain rôti. Dans mon livre à moi du pain, avec une petite couche de beurre, rôtie sur le poêle... Normalement, c'est merveilleux.
Sauf que ce que j'ai gouté, c'est plutôt des toast, rôties sur une plaque qu'on aurait mal (ou pas) essuyée du beurre cramé, des rôtis précédents... Ça goutait donc surtout le brulé.
Le service était très bien en moyenne, sauf qu'avec l'indifférence avec laquelle a été reçu mon commentaire sur le manque d'espace... j'ai aussi envie de dire un gros bof.
Commentaire final. Un autre resto autrefois incontournable, qui servait une excellente nourriture, à juste prix, détourné pour créer une illusion d'authentique, qui fait tant plaisir aux hipsters.
Trovato per caso cercando un pranzo a Montreal. È il primo ristorante in cui entriamo dopo due settimane di fast food e finalmente ci siamo seduti, con calma ad assaporare 7 piatti (uno diverso per ciascuno) tutti buonissimi.
Il nostro cameriere super attento e cordiale. Ci torneremmo sicuramente.
This place is great. Excellent seating & atmosphere. They serve up a mix of great breakfast / brunch as well as authentic Québecois comfort foods. Highly recommend.
Nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel, le patron est d'une gentillesse remarquable. Il nous a expliqué ses plats, nous avons pris une assiette découverte, une poutine traditionnelle & une poutine à l'effiloché de porc à l'ail. Tout était exquis.
