3 Brasseurs operates as a prominent microbrewery establishment specializing in traditional Alsatian-inspired pub fare and handcrafted beers brewed directly on the premises. The menu features signature items such as hearty flammekueche, diverse salads, and substantial burgers designed to complement the house-made ales. This industrial-style venue emphasizes a communal atmosphere where copper fermentation tanks define the visual aesthetic of the dining floor. Patrons encounter a consistent selection of seasonal brews alongside standardized comfort food staples crafted to satisfy substantial appetites. The kitchen prioritizes reliable recipes including schnitzels and poutine variations that bridge the gap between French heritage and modern pub expectations. Every dish integrates quality ingredients to provide a functional and direct culinary experience focused on the marriage of beer culture with robust, savory plates suited for casual group gatherings.
3 Brasseurs is frequently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, excellent selection of in-house beers, and friendly, professional service, making it a popular spot for social gatherings or pre-theater meals in Montreal. While many customers enjoy the generous portions and tasty pub-style menu, some reviews note inconsistencies regarding food quality, small portion sizes for certain dishes, and high noise levels. Although wait times can be longer during peak hours and some experiences with table placement or staff availability have been disappointing for a few, the majority of visitors highlight the welcoming staff and consistent value, recommending it as a reliable destination for a lively evening.
I don't normally write a poor review, but thought the experience should be shared. My wife & I were looking for an evening drink & snack & stumbled upon this place. I'd been to other 3 Brasseurs locations & always had a good experience. It was busy & service was slow, but I didn't mind as we were seated on the upper patio & it was a very nice night. We ordered a few drinks & the Caprini Flammekueche. There was a couple seated next to us that ordered their food around the same time, & theirs came first. I noticed they ordered something similar to us, but they weren't eating it. About 10 minutes later the server came & took their order back & I started to suspect it was actually our order in error. I watched the server go to their station, grab two more plates & walk the food back. Stone cold. We complained that it was cold & he was very nice & took it back. I assumed they were making us another one, but 5 minutes later they came back with the same one, reheated & charred. Honestly the food was disgusting. I'm only writing this review so that the restaurant acknowledges & changes this practice. If you incorrectly serve another customer, you make a brand new meal, not re-serve it.
Had a great first date experience. We were in a small corner upstairs which was kind of weird & kind of tight also the place is super warm so i kept sweating 😅 other than that drinks & food were good. Rose is a great waitress & it was only her second day on the job!
I was there yesterday, Wednesday. I've been there once before to eat & have a drink. I can't say I really like the place, but I have to say the beer this time was better than last time.
I was there probably not at the best time, service wise, since it looked like they didn't have enough staff. I was there around 3pm. It looked like the guy greeting everyone was also doing his best to serve the tables when needed. He's was good, but the rest of the staff looked like they couldn't care less. No attention when empty beer glasses where right in their faces. Service always had to be requested. It was never offered except for the guy at the door. I could see when it was time to leave for me that it was getting more busy & more more staff was on site.
Ordered the French onion soup which was not good & way to salty. I've eaten there before & the food is not really good.
Looks like the place needs some better management since the attention to the customer was lacking.

Went here for St.Pats & had a wonderful experience. The server Emmanuelle was amazing, she was kind & check in with us consistently. The beer here is amazing & you can watch the brewing process as you drink. Overall 10/10 highly recommend coming here.
Went to Les 3 Brasseurs on St-Denis around 5-5:30 PM for an early birthday dinner with my wife while we were out walking. We chose it mainly for convenience since it was nearby - unfortunately the experience was very poor from start to finish.
The first issue was the entry/reception area. There was already a group of five waiting, & the space is too small to comfortably accommodate multiple parties. Another group came in behind us, the doors were being held open, & everyone was packed together with cold winter air blowing in. We waited about five minutes with no staff attending the reception area at all.
Since no one came, we decided to sit ourselves at the bar, which many restaurants allow when seats are open. After about 15 minutes waiting at the bar, someone finally took our drink order - but instead of acknowledging the situation, we were lectured about waiting to be seated because that's when menus are provided. The lack of awareness or empathy at that point really set the tone.
We received our drinks before getting menus, then waited another 20+ minutes with no one returning to take our order. I also sat with an empty drink for a long stretch without anyone checking in. At that point we decided to leave & go somewhere else - even getting the bill was difficult because it was extremely hard to get anyone's attention despite repeated attempts.
Overall, the experience felt disorganized & lacking any clear leadership or customer service standards. It's disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a nice birthday outing. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
The food was pretty decent, & the beer was good but it took 15 minutes for a server & then another 20 to get our drinks which she seemed to forget to punch in. After this the food did come quick but the 45 minutes to have her come back to clear plates at which we asked for the bill as we didn't want to wait any longer!
Everytime I come here it's disappointing. A very uncomfortable unpleasant time. 3 brassard has always been my favourite restaurant because their sangrias make me so happy. Now after 7 years it's ice. They put no effort in making the drinks worth your money & time. Like go back to cutting more than one fruit & more that two slices of lemon like come on…. Nachos were cold & the price was a joke. Large for 22$ more like a small with just cheese & vegetables cost more for chicken or pork … this restaurant has tight & awkward seating
