Review Summary

Bar George is widely celebrated for its breathtaking historic architecture, stunning interior design, and vibrant, upscale atmosphere that makes it a memorable destination for special occasions. Many visitors praise the culinary offerings, particularly the beef Wellington and cocktails, while often highlighting the professional and attentive service provided by the staff. However, the experience can be inconsistent, with some guests noting concerns regarding high prices, occasional slow service, loud music, or mixed feelings about portion sizes and food consistency. Despite these varied perspectives, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking a unique, sophisticated setting in downtown Montreal.

The indoor restaurant is very good , but the new terrace has major problems

The indoor Restaurant decor & elegance are exquisite
The food is overall excellent. Mushroom cream soup was10/10, The beef Wellington7/10, The lobster risotto 10/10. Congratulations to chef Kevin & chef Donald
The service in the indoor restaurant was excellent. Jonathan & Julian were very friendly & efficient

The only problem that should be corrected is the loud contemporary music. It should be lowered down in volume & replaced by light classical music to go with the classical decor

Now we come to the new Terrace

We came on a Saturday evening, & more than half the tables were empty !!!…
which is extraordinary Fox, such a beautiful location but expected because of the many problems this terrace has:
1- If you try to book by phone, The Answering messagetells you that there is No reservation &'first come first served', which is not true at all! You can book by phone & you can book online!
2- another negative feature is the very loud & repetitive boring music ( I had to ask the manager of Mathieu to lower the volume)

3- Another problem is the confusion between the outdoor terrace & the indoor restaurant. THE TERRACE SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME & A DIFFERENT BOOKING SYSTEM.
& booking should be available online without asking for a credit card deposit

4- The quality of the cuisine & menu in the Terrace is lower than that of The mainland n indoor restaurant

We had a really fantastic experience here today. The dining options were very good, & the surroundings felt completely calm & inviting. Everyone we talked to was incredibly nice & helpful. We are highly looking forward to making another trip back here very soon. It was a genuinely heartwarming & wonderful outing.

Michelin rated food. Top quality service. Historic building.
What more could you ask for in a brunch out with the girls?
The menu is so well-planned, & with so much variety, you'll find it difficult to chose.
Highly recommend the scallops & pastries!

Nice service & Food. Regrettably, nothing gluten free in Dessert Menu even when we notified when reserved. Big mistake for a'top' restaurant. We can no be back since there is no Dessert for us

I love Bar George! It's my go to Place for a cocktail & a snack whenever I'm downtown. It looks like they've just opened up a big outdoor patio which gives them twice the seating they had before.
It's not the cheapest bar downtown, but it's worth every penny.

Not worth the hype. Enjoyed the mushroom soup & beet salad. Was not impressed by beef Wellington nor the steak. Also there were bugs that kept flying into our drinks. Would not recommend.

I enjoyed my meal but the scrambled eggs could be a tad firmer. Also, the espresso martinis come from a tap…
