A pricy restaurant with British fare set in a very beautiful old home. Though the prices of some dishes are steep, consider coming here just to soak in the wood-paneled atmosphere of the old home turned historic club. The food was very good, the service was polite & attentive, the atmosphere was spectacular. A good place to get dressed up for & enjoy a fancy night.

The jabon & bread appetizer was tasty if a bit pricy for what you get. The beef Wellington was perfectly cooked & very flavorful. It's an expensive dish but, I think it's worth the it as it's quite hard to master! The cream of mushroom soup was deliciously savory.

Absolute favourite place for dinner when in town for the weekend in Montreal. Beef wellington is always delicious, & enjoying a pre or post dinner cocktail in the gorgeous bar is a must.

We ordered the Beef Wellington & the halibut, & both were hands down the best food we've ever had-100% recommend! The restaurant itself is gorgeous. I was dying to pull out my phone & record everything, but I tried my best not to look like a tourist (even though I totally was).

Our son, Francesco, & his beautiful bride, Ashley, were married at Bar George on July 26, & from beginning to end, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. A few weeks later, we are still floating on air.

The venue is absolutely stunning, the service was impeccable, & the food was extraordinary. Throughout the evening, guests continually came up to tell us how delicious everything was. We had a discerning crowd to impress-the bride is a chef herself, much of the bridal party were chefs, & we're an Italian family with high expectations when it comes to food! Every single person raved about the meal. The Beef Wellington was outstanding, & the gnocchi received endless praise. As Italians, hearing so many guests say it was'the best gnocchi they've ever had' is about the highest compliment possible.

The midnight buffet was another huge success. The quality of the food was exceptional, the portions were incredibly generous, & the thoughtful touches we hadn't thought about made the evening even more memorable.

A special thank you to Elias; it was a pleasure working with you. He responded to our emails & questions always in a timely fashion. He also worked well with our team of professional wedding planners, the Di Event Sisters, ensuring that every detail came together beautifully & responding to any of our concerns.

On behalf of Ashley & Francesco, & our entire Resera & Beliveau families, thank you for giving us a wedding day that was everything we had hoped & prayed for. You created memories that our family will cherish for a lifetime.

If you are considering Bar George for your wedding or any special celebration, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Our guests kept telling us that they felt like they had been swept into another era of timeless elegance.

Bravo to the entire team-& thank you for making our family's dream wedding a reality.

Here are some photos - that incredible stair case. Photo credit to our wonderful photographer & her team, Franca Sorrenti Foto Studio.

Sincerely,
Marisa Bove-Resera, mother of the groom.

Very lovely intimate dinner spot. The interior is so regal & historic, making for a very opulent experience. All the staff are lovely from the moment you walk through the door, & our server was especially courteous & helpful. The drinks were pleasant & overall the food was delightful. Particular love for the beef wellington that simply cannot be skipped. The lobster risotto was a bit underwhelming ~ bland to be honest, though the lobster itself was soft & scrumptious. Octopus carpaccio also quite overstated & little flavour otherwise, but tender. Oysters were good - love the hot sauce! For the exorbitant price tag one might expect perfection but regardless it was wonderful to try it out knowing how beloved it is. We reserved but perhaps not even needed - only the patio was full.

Had the beef Wellington was amazing finished every single last peace
Divine was amazing & cared for our table, directed me to the washroom kindly. Our server was also excellent. However one of the hostesses ignored us multiple times not saying a word but another very kindly helped us to out table. Overall 10/10, will come back

Cream of mushroom soup & Beef Wellington were 10 out of 10. Sat at the bar for dinner & cocktails.

Old Fashion was average. (No luxardo cherry) but does have a pretty orange art.

We enjoyed our evening at Bar George in Montréal. Housed in a magnificent historic mansion, the setting exudes timeless elegance & sophistication from the moment you arrive.
The menu offers beautifully balanced dishes that are truly worth savoring-each one executed with care & flair. We particularly loved the Beef Wellington. Warm applause to the chef for such outstanding cuisine. The service was impeccable & wonderfully attentive throughout.
A truly refined experience. We look forward to returning soon.

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

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.
