The old is celebrated in new ways at Bar George, a modern-day rendezvous set in the grand heritage home once belonging to Sir George Stephen. Honouring the former resident’s roots, our chefs cook up contemporary takes on classic U.K. fare, spiked with Québécois quirks, while our bar pours time-tested drinks.
Bar George earns praise for a breathtaking historic setting in a renovated mansion, with rich woodwork, elegant interiors, and a warm, refined ambiance that makes it a standout for special occasions and cocktails. The menu and cocktails are often highlighted as sophisticated, with Beef Wellington and lobster risotto repeatedly mentioned as signature dishes, though the dish can be unevenly executed or overpriced, with issues like a non-crispy crust or salty sauce. Service is frequently described as attentive and knowledgeable, with strong wine recommendations, yet some visits note slow or uneven service during busy times or when staff turnover occurs. Brunch and lunch are praised for atmosphere and setting, but portions or value can be inconsistent, and some guests find certain items pricey for the size. Overall, Bar George is seen as a premier Montreal destination for a refined dining or drinking experience, where the ambiance and architecture often elevate the experience, though a few reviews point to room for improvement in consistency and value.
Delicious cocktails, pricey but you are paying for the beautiful setting. It is such a stunning old building. There was a DJ playing when we went on a Friday night. It was a bit loud considering everyone was there to eat/talk etc., but the vibe was fun.
Notre fille célébrait sa cérémonie de mariage au Bar George. L'endroit est magnifique, le service est vraiment professionnel, les employés sont hyper-sympa, la nourriture y est excellente. Nous avons passé un excellente soirée. Merci pour tout!
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.

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.
