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 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

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.
