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.
Le full english breakfast à 34$ était très basique & ne venait pas avec des pommes de terre. Nous avons pris un side de « duck fat potatoes » à 6$ mais c'était tout simplement des cubes de pommes de terre congelés de type mccain . Pour 40$ par personne c'est très décevant.
Nous avons aussi pris un scone qui manquait de cuisson.
Great breakfast. The sausages & duck fat potatoes are out of this world.
Big thanks to my waiter, Jeremy, for an amazing service: understanding, patient & presents you with all the possible options you can go for. That's 5 star service right there.
Bar George - A Stunning Blend of History, Luxury, & Elegance
Bar George at the Le Mount Stephen hotel is truly a spectacular experience from the moment you walk through the doors. The historic architecture is breathtaking rich woodwork, ornate details, & a grand, gilded-age feel that transports you to another era. Every corner of the space reflects luxury & refinement, making it one of Montréal's most visually stunning dining & cocktail destinations.
The dark, intimate ambiance makes it the perfect setting to enjoy their luxurious cocktails. Whether you're relaxing at the bar or seated in one of their elegant dining spaces, each drink feels like a crafted masterpiece, balanced, flavorful, & beautifully presented.
One thing to keep in mind is that Bar George can get very busy. The wait can be long, especially during peak hours or if you're coming with a larger group, so reservations are highly recommended. It's definitely worth planning ahead to fully enjoy everything this incredible venue has to offer.
I'll absolutely be returning, whether it's for another unforgettable meal, to sip cocktails in that gorgeous atmosphere, or even to stay at the Le Mount Stephen hotel. Bar George is one of those places that leaves a lasting impression, combining historic charm with modern luxury perfectly.
Had an incredible experience at Bar George, special shoutout to our server Jay, he was genuinely one of the best servers I've had in Montreal . Attentive , super friendly & gave great recommendations. He made the whole evening feel effortless.
If you're looking for amazing food, beautiful ambiance, & top-tier service, Bar George is definitely worth it!

We ordered a great starter serving of mushroom soup & oysters. Well done!
Main order of Lobster Risotto & Beef Wellington. Unfortunately, we were served the Wellington & Halibut. They realized immediately took them away & 15 minutes later we got the proper course. This doesn't bother me expect for no mention of making it right. Anyway, the Wellington was fantastic. The Lobster Risotto was great if you like curry. It wasn't overpowering but tasted like, garam masala was a seasoning. However, if you don't like curry, the was nothing in the description to warn you of the curry taste.
Other than that, all else was good. 4/5. But I'm being friendly on the service, otherwise a 3/5, because you should at least offer a free drink or something due to the mixed up order…

A fantastic spot for cocktails & drinks. Everyone - from the door staff to the servers & bartenders - is cheerful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I've visited twice from Ottawa & plan to return with friends to show off this incredible place.

Came here for brunch. While the building interior is nice to look at, the food was average but priced high. The espresso machine was not working, so I asked for drip coffee & I didn't receive it until I was almost finished my meal. They also forgot the milk though I requested it.
Then I went to the bathroom once I was finished eating, & I had to take a phone call while I was in there. I didn't think I was gone too long (probably 20 min? Or less) & I was surprised to see my table had been cleared off & my coat gone. I was very annoyed that they moved my coat, & they told me it was because they thought I left? It's raining/light snow outside, why would I leave without my jacket? I had intentionally left it there so that they knew I was coming back.
Anyways, it made me feel very rushed to leave, though all in all I had only been there for an hour. So I paid almost $80 for an average meal (toast, scrambled eggs & potatoes), below average service & for them to make me feel I was being rushed out. I wouldn't come back here despite the building being beautiul. I would just say, do not move someone's belongings next time.
I loved it, it's an special place for special moments I went with my wife & we had a great time there, the attention is really good, the place is really beautiful you can have really good pictures there, & finally the food was really good, I ordered the abeef Wellington & it was perfect.
Advice: there are plenty of parking places near & once inside try to take a picture with you on the stairs that drives you to the second floor that will be a perfect photo.
