Barrelmans comes across as a popular spot in Old Montreal rather than the Old Port, with pretty decor and a European vibe. Three cocktails were excellent, the playlist was good, and service was friendly and efficient, making for a relaxed visit after dinner. The space attracts locals and offers a nice selection of beers on tap, and the bowls seem to be a local favorite. Oysters did not feel as fresh as they should be, but there is interest in returning to try more of the food selection.View restaurant profile

Pub Saint Pierre is described as a warm, bustling pub in Old Montreal with a cozy, authentic vibe that attracts locals and visitors alike.

Reviews of R'Délicieux describe a French-style chicken taco with a gratin topping and Algerian sauce, with some diners finding the portions huge and satisfying enough to eat during a work lunch and even take home leftovers, while others report inconsistencies in meat quantity and sauce, including tacos that seem grilled too long, have little meat, or taste different from expected; the beef is sometimes noted as tasting lamb-like. Service is described as very good by several, and one diner mentions receiving free fries and drinks when the order was placed for themselves, though there is caution that ordering via the app may not be ideal and on-site clarification with the owner helps. There is confusion about mini tacos versus regular tacos, and about substitutions versus the BBQ sauce that is offered. Overall, impressions are mixed, with some praise for portion size and service and some critiques about value and consistency.View restaurant profile

Bowie is described as stylish and intimate with a chic vibe, a moody atmosphere and a live DJ that sets a lively energy, making it a popular spot for girls nights or celebrations. Service stands out in many reviews for being warm, attentive, and professional, with staff offering thoughtful wine and cocktail recommendations and handling special occasions with care, though consistency varies across visits.
