Review Summary

Overall, Brasserie Bernard earns praise for its warm, Parisian-inspired atmosphere, attentive service, and dependable French bistro fare that many reviewers consider a reliable neighborhood staple in Outremont. Seafood lovers note strong moules marinières, oysters, octopus, salmon tartare and other accents, while the duck confit and fish and chips also receive high marks, with the wine list and desserts frequently applauded. The service is described as impeccable or very friendly by many, with knowledgeable recommendations and a welcoming vibe, though several reviews mention occasional slow or uneven service and long waits when busy.

Price and value receive mixed verdicts, with some praising quality and generous portions, and others calling the prices steep for the size or questioning the value compared with other Parisian-style brasseries in Montreal. A few dishes are cited as underseasoned, dry, or overly salty, and brunch offerings or certain menu changes have disappointed some guests. Despite these variances, many guests make Brasserie Bernard their go-to spot for celebrations, casual dinners, or after-theatre meals, appreciating the consistently friendly staff and the level of dining room energy. The terrace is highlighted on pleasant days, and the overall experience is described as enjoyable, convivial, and distinctly European in character, even if not every visit hits a perfect note.

Huis Clos

Villeray-Saint-Michel Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

Seafood/Fish French Tartare

Review Summary

Overall, Huis Clos is described as cozy and well kept with a warm neighborhood vibe, strong cocktails and attentive staff, where oysters and other seafood dishes are frequently praised and the atmosphere can be festive with music or karaoke; the kitchen is seen as thoughtful and the menu offers options for many tastes, though some dishes feel small or lack flavor and service can slow when crowds are large. A few critiques focus on the bathroom setup, including an impractical faucet and a roll of brown paper that seems unsanitary, creating a jarring contrast with the rest of the space. The place is considered a must visit in Villeray with a pleasant terrace in season. A rare hiccup at a raclette event involved an expired liqueur and missing ingredients, with staff offering a discount on cocktails or alternatives. In summary, Huis Clos comes across as a reliable spot for a warm and enjoyable night out with friends, good drinks, friendly service and a welcoming ambiance.View restaurant profile
