Situé au Centre ville de Montréal, le Bar George's inscrit dans la continuité du riche passé du Mount Stephen's avec sa cuisine contemporaine mais résolument tournée vers l'avenir.
Bar George est décrit comme un lieu spectaculaire alliant une architecture historique et un cadre intérieur chaleureux, propice autant aux occasions spéciales qu'aux repas autour d'un cocktail. Le service est souvent salué pour son professionnalisme et ses bons conseils sur les plats et les vins, mais des expériences signalent des retards et quelques erreurs lorsque la salle est très fréquentée. La cuisine est généralement de haut niveau avec des plats comme le Beef Wellington et le risotto au homard, bien que certaines critiques pointent une croûte du Wellington pas assez croustillante et un rapport qualité-prix parfois discuté, les portions pouvant varier. Les cocktails et l'atmosphère du bar sont souvent loués, mais certains trouvent les prix élevés et le volume musical trop fort pour discuter tranquillement. Dans l'ensemble, Bar George est perçu comme une expérience de grande qualité avec un décor et un service remarquables, même si la cohérence et le rapport qualité-prix dépendent du moment; réservation recommandée, et l'endroit est souvent considéré comme une référence à Montréal.
Je suis allé au Bar George pour une soirée spéciale & j'ai vraiment vécu une expérience inoubliable. L'ambiance de l'endroit est incroyable. Les détails en bois & l'éclairage tamisé donnent un côté très chic. Le service était professionnel du début à la fin. Les plats ont aussi dépassé mes attentes. Les présentations étaient particulièrement impressionnantes. Je me suis vraiment senti spécial. Les prix sont élevés, mais ça vaut clairement la peine. J'ai été très satisfait.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Bar George offre un cadre absolument exceptionnel, à la fois chic & chaleureux. L'ambiance est soignée, avec une attention portée aux détails.
Les plats étaient savoureux, bien exécutés, avec un bel équilibre des saveurs.
Mention spéciale au personnel : tous les employés ont été d'une grande gentillesse, souriants, attentifs & très accueillants, ce qui contribue grandement à la qualité du moment.
Une adresse que je recommande autant pour une soirée spéciale que pour profiter d'un lieu élégant & d'un service impeccable.
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.

For my first time in Bar George, we rented a private dining room. The procedure to book it was very straight forward & easy. If you're a couple or a small group, I suggest you take a look at their options: they have different room sizes & the rooms are surprisingly really quiet. If you want have a nice conversation & avoid the loud music & noise of the main room, I suggest you take a look.
Otherwise, both the service & food was excellent. Our server was Jay & he was fantastic throughout the entire service - easily one of the best we ever had the pleasure to be hosted by.
I've been to Bar George many times & it's always excellent. The vibe, service, & quality are consistently on point. Not sure how I forgot to leave a review before, but better late than never one of my favorite spots.
A rail 🚂baron's mansion that is nearly as old as our country could easily be a b&b, beautiful & boring. But not this place, it has a vibrant yet chill atmosphere. I love sitting here & soaking in the atmosphere & people… & don't miss the Matane shrimp toast. 😋

Walked in on New Years Eve & came back for New Year's Day because we loved it so much! Amazing atmosphere, kind staff & the architecture in the bar is amazing.
New years Eve dinner scam with chef Ramaswamy. Decided to treat my wife to a 5 course dinner at Bar George for new years eve for $ 280 a pop ! Big mistake here is why: We are not food critiques or fancy food influencers lol we are very simple straight frwrd no BS customers. The menu says lobster tail as an appetizer we expect to get the lobster tail not a sorry chunk of lobster the size of a shrimp impaled on a squewer ! The Ramaswamy came out to our table, I let him know straight up this is not what it says on the menu ! He replied bluntly that it's only a piece of lobster tail not the whole tail expecting me to back down ! I pointed out to him that the menu said other wise, please see the menu photo below & decide for yourself ! He laughed it off & left. From there on the whole menu went crashing down : soggy stuffed pasta raw for aldente, with white truffles & a creamy white sauce that you can get for 20 dollars anywhere in little Italy, then came black boiled cod which was tasteless & disgusting not worth $15 dollars at any fish & ships. The tuna Wellington was a disgrace ! who ever George is he must be turning in his grave … the Pastry bland, the tuna uncooked & cold .. & finally a sorbet with no taste on top of tiny chocolate bar with pears that you over pay at $ 7,50 dollar price tag from any French patisserie on the plateau! All in all one dollar appetizer + $20 pasta + $ 15 cod +$ 10 tuna Wellington & $ 7,5 $ dessert for a max total a $ 53 worth experience sold at $ 280.l left 20% for the service because they were doing their job & they paid for our drinks 2 cocktails & a coke zero to make it up to us ! So for two we paid with tips & taxes $750 & there you have it : a New Year's Eve dinner scam in deed ! I left a note to fire the chef because it's a failure & he is rude on top of it ! Just saying first & last experience at mount Stephen hotel … it's not about paying money it's about being cheated out of your money while your trying to finish the year with a classy meal lol !
Bar George is in the old Mt St Stephen club which has been converted into a hotel. The decor has been presented from it's time as the club & makes for a fantastic dinner setting. The food was delicious & service impeccable. Pricy but with the experience.
I was really looking forward to this one as it's such a beautiful space, but it honestly let me down. I was seated at the bar & took quite a while to even be acknowledged while it wasn't very busy. Ordered a cocktail that was pretty basic & a burger. The burger was ok, nicely cooked - but the bun was very dry. Salad with it was nice, but you can get a better burger for half the price. No one came by to ask about the food or even if I wanted another drink. When time for staff turnover, they ask everyone to settle up which I always hate. That's not on the servers but rather on the restaurant's tip structure, but it's just not great practise as they were pressuring all the guests (the people beside me were talking about it as well after they agreed). Overall though the food was average at best & service really not great. Very nice space though!
