Review Summary

Bar George is widely praised for its stunning historic setting in the Le Mount Stephen mansion, with rich woodwork, classic decor, and a refined, intimate vibe that makes it a standout Montreal dining and cocktail destination. The menu shines with beef Wellington, lobster risotto, mushroom soup, and other refined dishes, while some reviews note small portions and high prices. Service is generally attentive and professional, though busy periods can bring slower service or occasional missteps, and a few guests felt the experience was not worth the cost. Cocktails and the bar scene receive frequent compliments, and the atmosphere is described as elegant and atmospheric, suitable for dates, celebrations, or business meals. Overall, Bar George delivers a memorable experience with strong food and exceptional ambiance, with the caveats of cost and occasional service fluctuations.

The Beef Wellington is the signature dish on the menu, but it was a disappointment. The crust wasn't crispy, & the sauce was salty. Given its reputation & price, it should have been impeccable. Perhaps the mess from the exterior renovations is affecting the kitchen's performance.

Le Beef Wellington est le plat signature du menu, mais ce fut une déception. La croûte n'était pas croustillante & la sauce était salée. Compte tenu de sa réputation & de son prix, il devrait être impeccable. Peut-être que le désordre causé par les rénovations extérieures affecte la performance de la cuisine.

Located within the Le Mount Stephen hotel, Bar George is one of the most esthetically beautiful, historical restaurants that we've ever stepped foot in. The place is gorgeous inside & the food & service was excellent as well. If your looking for a special occasion place to dine in Montreal, you can't get much better then Bar George!

The hostess working on Valentine's Day was very rude & unaccommodating. She wasn't helpful at all, which was especially disappointing given the occasion. We were just hoping to grab a drink. Overall, a frustrating experience. I wouldn't recommend.

Valentines dinner was a huge success thanks to the incredible food & impeccable service. We will definitely be back for our special occasions in the future. Staple of Montreal that you need to try at least once.

Ambiance excellente, service excellent par Maxime il nous a bien conseillé pour la sélection de vin. Je recommande la spécialité de la place : le boeuf Wellington.

Bar George offre un cadre absolument exceptionnel, à la fois chic & chaleureux. L'ambiance est soignée, avec une attention portée aux détails.

Les plats étaient savoureux, bien exécutés, avec un bel équilibre des saveurs.
Mention spéciale au personnel : tous les employés ont été d'une grande gentillesse, souriants, attentifs & très accueillants, ce qui contribue grandement à la qualité du moment.

Une adresse que je recommande autant pour une soirée spéciale que pour profiter d'un lieu élégant & d'un service impeccable.

The beef wellington was pretty good with the sauce. However, the chicken plate was not good. The chicken was dry & hard to chew on. It costs 80$ for that chicken plate… i would recommend the appetizers for this restaurant but if it is a main course, it is not worth the price. Reservation cost money also ..

Bar George à Montréal est un endroit vraiment magnifique, autant pour le décor que l'ambiance visuelle. Cependant, lors de notre visite, c'était extrêmement bruyant : la musique était très forte, au point où nous sommes partis vers 23 h. Les cocktails étaient beaux, mais assez ordinaires au goût. Cela dit, je serais prête lui redonner une chance, car le lieu a beaucoup de potentiel. J'aurais aimé une musique plus jazz en harmonie avec la décoration, plutôt qu'une ambiance très « boum » boum

I was recently at Bar George. The newlyweds reserved the dining room to celebrate with their family. The room was gorgeous, I liked the high windows & atmosphere. Nice place for a special occasion.

New review posted on one table as well where I dropped the star rating to 2 -> I left a google review more than a year ago which was more complimentary then this review will be. Why? Quite simply the quality of the food has deteriorated considerably (perhaps there is a new chef?) while of course the prices have gone up a good 65% across the board. Just analyzing the lobster risotto for example this dish had been previously excellent taste wise while ungenerous portion wise particularly with the lobster aspect. Now the taste level has significantly decreased - with no proof I feel there is a new chef who has put his'exotic' spin on all the dishes adding Indian spices (à la Punch restaurant in Toronto) to the dishes. Trying to be trendy with tried & true dishes is not a good idea. I may still go for breakfast because I do love the setting of the restaurant very much but please fire your new chef & improve your food to fit the super high prices.

Old review from 1 year ago where I gave everything 4 stars -> The starters were ok. The steak tartare was good but the portion even for a starter was small - a pattern throughout the service. The beetroots again were ok. The halibut dish was exceptional & the lobster risotto again great despite the ungenerous portion of lobster on it. Overall MB rating 7.5/10.

Can't give it less than five stars.

If you are either visiting or from the area , this is definitely one of the top tier spots.

I've done breakfast, dinner, & have dined both indoors & outdoors on the patio.

The food is top tier & has been for the last few years that I have been going as well as service.

Atmosphere as well, Can't think of too many places that have more ambiance regardless of the day or time.

Definitely on the higher budget end, but if it fits within one's means this place delivers.
