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.
Checked out the Bar George for dinner last night. The atmosphere & restaurant itself was really classy & nice. Not too noisy for being busy.
I would say for this price range of a restaurant the food was just okay. We had the beef wellington & the fillet mignon as mains. Steak was cooked perfectly but both dishes were slightly underwhelming in terms of taste. Presentation was good.
The service was also very slow due to how busy it was. We didn't get our first drinks until after the first starter showed up. As for drinks, I had the deluxe old fashioned & it was also not the best for such an expensive cocktail. A standard old fashioned would have been more enjoyable.
All in all, for the price range, there are much better restaurants in Montreal for both food & cocktails. If I was going to return it would just be for a drink at the bar.
Strong service experience from the reception & the efficient coat check.
The dining rooms are amazing; an architectural jewel. Sommelier is excellent with his recommendations. Service is prompt & efficient (thanks Kevin) with just some lag at the end.
The burrata & courge appetizer was deliciously creamy.
I was disappointed by the excessively salty lobster risotto & the lack of fluff in the puff pastry of the beef wellington with slightly chewy filet mignon.
We also had a chance to visit the adjacent hotel (thanks Zacharie!) & would highly recommend a stay here.
Older: Corporate event in the hotel. Cocktails were decent, but the presentation room was not as nice as the actual bar which looked amazing.

I have travelled to many places, I came to this place to try the beef Wellington, as I have tried the one at Hells Kitchen in Las Vegas & was curious about the one here at Bar George, people have told me it is better. The beef Wellington at Bar George was excellent & in my opinion much better in flavour, loved it. Had the Burger, was dry a little, truffle mashed was to watery for me, waiter was amazing & top notch. I gave four star because, they were short staff, as staff was sick, so took two hours for dinner & an app, nothing you can do, but when you are going spend minimum over $150 a person plus, they should let you now up front it will be a little slow for your food. This way if you have to make it somewhere else, you are prepared . Again, you most go & have the Beef Wellington, it is unreal & I hate when people leave bullshit reviews, this is hundred percent review, I will go again & have dinner hundred percent, only suggestion is , let your customers know if service is behind, doesn't take much, thank you for the great server ( Julien ) & the Beef Wellington.
We arrived early & decided to enjoy the bar first. We received excellent service from a knowledgeable & personable bartender. Afterward, we moved to the dining area for dinner, equally pleased with the service & ambiance. The beef Wellington, snooki, & chicken dinners are highly recommended; you won't be disappointed. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. We highly recommend this establishment.
I went here for the first time to celebrate my birthday alone & was so impressed by the ambiance & the kind attentive service! BUT, I've NEVER had a beef bourguignon that DRY before. No joke almost choked & had to take sips of water after every bite of beef. Not only that but it was way too salty! I was expecting the food to be as immaculate as the atmosphere. When the waiter asked if I liked it I was too shy to say my actual opinion. I got a free birthday cake though that was very delicious just a bit too sweet for me at the end. But I really appreciated that for my birthday so thank you to the chefI also had the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes & that was very good. I will come back to try the beef wellington one day as I heard it can be very good.
UPDATE: came back a second time & am just as impressed! The pavlova was divine I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was (I had a beef tartare & pasta sauce). The service was excellent, going above & beyond to take into consideration my allergies & even sharing some tips on how to recreate the same meal at home. Would recommend in a heart beat!
The food was DELICIOUS!!! I had the beef wellington, & it was prepared to PERFECTION! The atmosphere was nice, elegant & comfortable! The wait staff was knowledgeable & paid attention to every detail, making our dining experience 10+! When I visit Montreal again, I definitely have Bar George on my list for fine dining!

Went for dinner with my husband & it was such an amazing experience. The place itself is breathtaking, with a detailed handcrafted interior design, wooden sculpted wall panels & elegant chandeliers. The service is excellent, our waiter was very attentive & offered impeccable service during the entire evening. The food is beautifully presented, & each dish we ordered was a great culinary experience. The beef wellington was like a piece of art with vibrant colors surrounding the beef slices. As for the dessert, we ordered the monochrome, & I can safely say that it was probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. Each little piece is a combination of several layers of biscuit, mousse & other ingredients that blend perfectly well together as well as with the delicious ice cream accompanying it. Highly recommend this place for fine dining, such an experience!
The architecture of this restaurant was beautiful. The customer service was also good. However, we did not leave feeling satisfied with food given the high price tag. The beet salad & the chocolate dessert were excellent. However, our mains, the Beef Wellington & Chicken Roulade did not live up to our expectations. The beef Wellington by itself was nothing special, & it relied on the fancy colourful sauces to add flavour. It was not worth the price. The Chicken Roulade was ok, but not worth the money.
The beef wellington is very good. It accompanied well with the sauce & the mushrooms. The mushroom soup is very good as well. The dessert is very nice, not too sweet, just right. The staffs are very nice as well
Bar George is really fancy & the food is delicious & extremely rich. It is in a really cool hotel & the decor is exquisite. They have the best beef Wellington that I have ever had in my life because it is unique & has a lot of ingredients that I really appreciated, such as a ground up mushroom paste of some kind that was inside the pastry. They also have a fine selection of wine.

Thursday night in August. Impressive entrance the crafts people who made this building would be famous today it is that gorgeous. Attached hotels seems like it might be cool. But as for our dinner: it was merely fine. I'm putting photographs of what we ate. Lost the one of the beef Wellington, which my partner said was really good. Our server had far too many tables for one individual to adequately help. Well, I had to return my club soda for being flat after waiting 10 minutes to get a drink, it was a little frustrating. The lime was so dry & had literally no juice. He mentioned that the green beans were not delicious & he offered to take it off the bill, which I didn't expect so that was very nice. It probably saved his tip! All in all worth it to visit for a drink. Not the culinary adventure we enjoy.
The food was seriously mid. We did not like the duck breast & beef bourguignon, do not recommend. However, the dessert was delicious & the interior was very nice.
Nice view. Got lucky to make a booking the evening of & choose dining room or terrace. Drinks were top notch. Beet salad was artistically delicate & delightful. Lobster risotto was perfect. Wished the beef was seared in the beef Wellington. Overall, pleasant evening.
I had an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is simply awesome, with a perfect blend of historic charm & modern elegance. The service was amazing-attentive, friendly, & professional from start to finish. I tried the beef wellington, & it was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection & full of flavour. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal in a fantastic setting!

I had the best beef Wellington of my life at Bar George this past week. I was in town for a few days from out west & I was conveniently located. The decor of the bar is great. & the bartender, I think he had a shaved head, he was a good guy to me. I liked him. I will go so far as to say this whole experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Montreal.
So beautiful inside! If history & architecture are your thing, you have to eat here! The round bar is also very cool & they had a DJ. Beef wellington was insanely good!
Very elegant & nice restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. You should definitely try their specialty, the Beef Wellington & the black truffle gnocchis. The place is amazing as well. It looks like a castle or a mansion. It is an expensive restaurant, but it is worth it.
Gorgeous restaurant. Both the exterior & the interior is really beautiful. The food is also above average, but beef wellington is one of the best you can eat.
