Review Summary

Bar George offers a visually stunning and historic dining atmosphere that is widely praised for its opulence and architectural beauty, making it a popular choice for special occasions. Many guests highlight the Beef Wellington as a standout dish, alongside a creative cocktail menu and generally high-quality British-inspired cuisine. However, experiences vary significantly regarding service, which some find impeccable and attentive, while others describe it as inconsistent, impersonal, or slow. While the ambiance is frequently described as vibrant and sophisticated, a subset of diners finds the music too loud or mismatched for the venue, and others note that the pricing is high for the portion sizes provided. Ultimately, the restaurant is often viewed as a memorable destination for its setting and culinary highlights, though individual encounters with staff and pacing can impact the overall satisfaction of the visit.

The best Beef Wellington of Montreal. Period! & those in the know, they know how that dish is technically hard to get right, which goes to tell you how skilled their kitchen brigade happens to be! Tip top quality ingredients. Superb service as well. It is not cheap, but what is cheap, nowadays, downtown Montreal (at the exception of the fast food joints...& even those are not as cheap as you might think)? Skip the restaurant area, go to the bar (very pretty!). & I hope they are done, soon, with the current renovations in front of the restaurant.

Walked into Bar George for dinner with friends & were greeted with something unusual: before even sitting down, we were informed the minimum tip is 20%. Nothing says'welcome' like being told how much gratitude you owe before you've even seen the menu.

After dinner I paid the whole bill. Later at home we noticed we were charged for two extra drinks we never ordered. Not a huge amount of money, but that's not the point - it's a matter of honesty.

I called the restaurant & was told to email the manager. I emailed two contacts (apparently a manager & an accountant). No reply. Twice.

So the system seems to be:
1. Demand a generous tip upfront.
2. Add mystery drinks to the bill.
3. Ignore the customer afterwards.

If you dine here, read your bill carefully - apparently the drinks menu may continue after you leave.

L'endroit est à la hauteur de la réputation avec un réel soucis du client & un service impéccable & transparent en plus d'un accompagnement délicat & personnalisé. La sélection de vin est très complète.

The space inside Le Mount Stephen is genuinely jaw-dropping; all mahogany, stained glass & ornate woodwork that makes you feel like you're dining inside a Downton Abbey fever dream. I walked in & immediately felt underdressed, & under-funded.

Then came the cocktail menu. A perfectly executed Old Fashioned arrived in a glass so elegant I briefly considered not drinking it & just taking it home as decor. Then the bill arrived & I realized I had just sipped the equivalent of a car payment. The food - British-inspired, locally sourced, thoughtfully plated - is lovely in theory, though the portions have a very'European vacation' energy: beautiful, memorable, & not quite enough to prevent you from stopping at a shawarma place on the way home.

Come for the architecture, stay for the ambiance, & eat a full meal beforehand. Bar George is a magnificent stage with a slightly overpriced script - but as a backdrop for feeling fancy for two hours, it has absolutely zero competition in this city.

Before sitting down you have to acknowledge minimum 20% tips & one bill/one table only……..
After the bill overcharged, no one cares to refund…
