Macbar et Fromage

May be temporarily closed

The Village/Centre-Sud

Comfort Food

Mentioned in: The Best Mac N' Cheese and Grilled Cheese in Montreal

Review Summary

Reviews of Macbar et Fromage express disappointment over a notable decline in quality, with at least one location on Ontario St E in Montreal reportedly closed. The mac and cheese, once praised for perfect flavor, al dente pasta and generous cheese, is described as now overcooked with a watery and flavorless roux. In another order, the Montrealais mac and smoked meat was delicious, but the dish arrived without the expected fried cornichons and green onions, which felt like a letdown. A drop in quality since November is repeatedly noted, with comments like the biggest drop of quality seen and statements of being very disappointed and not returning. Overall, the feedback suggests a shift from a beloved comfort option to an experience that leaves customers unsure about returning to the restaurant.View restaurant profile

Soufflé attracts praise for an amazing overall experience with attentive staff and superb food, especially the cake which many call a favorite. The Japanese cheesecake is described as light and airy, not overly heavy, with toppings such as berry fruit, caramel and pistachios that balance sweetness.

Generous portions and a friendly, efficient team are frequently noted, making Soufflé feel like one of Montreal's favorite spots for a sweet treat. A minor note in one review mentions opening hours and a door issue, but overall the place is celebrated as a standout dessert destination.View restaurant profile
