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.
Les avis décrivent Bar George comme un espace historique époustouflant, avec un bois travaillé magnifique et une ambiance à la Downton Abbey au sein de l'hôtel Mount Stephen, où le bar et les salles à manger allient chic et convivialité. Les cocktails sont largement salués et le beef Wellington est une vedette, tout comme le lobster risotto et la soupe aux champignons, même si certains plats ou portions sont jugés petits ou inégaux et que les prix sont parfois jugés élevés. Le service est décrit comme attentif et bien informé par de nombreux clients, avec de bons conseils sur les vins et les cocktails, mais quelques visites signalent un service lent ou irrégulier lors des heures d'affluence. Les expériences de brunch et de déjeuner sont mises en valeur pour l'ambiance et la qualité des plats, et certains notent le bruit. Dans l'ensemble Bar George est perçu comme un cadre impressionnant, idéal pour une occasion spéciale ou un rendez-vous, où l'atmosphère et l'architecture compensent certains défauts de valeur ou d'exécution.
Absolutely loved my experience at Bar George! 🍸✨
The place is stunning - elegant, classy, & perfect for a nice night out or special occasion. The atmosphere really gives a luxury vibe.
The food was delicious & beautifully presented, & the cocktails were top tier. Everything tasted refined & well thought out.
Service was impeccable - attentive, professional, & made the whole experience even better.
Definitely one of the best spots in Montreal. Highly recommend! 👌
Went for a cocktail at the bar ! Great service, loved the music & vibe. Will definitely go back for supper next time - their lobster risotto looks bomb!

Bar George is in a league of its own. Set inside the breathtaking 19th century mansion of Sir George Stephen, the space alone is worth the visit - intricate wood panelling, grand fireplaces, stained-glass windows, & a sense of occasion around every corner. It feels like dining inside a living piece of Montreal history.
The food matches the setting beautifully. Executive Chef Kevin Ramasawmy's take on British-inspired cuisine with a Québécois twist is creative, refined, & deeply satisfying. We had the Beef Wellington & it was absolutely stunning - perfectly executed & full of flavour. The cocktail list is equally impressive, & the sommelier's wine recommendations were spot on.
Service was warm, attentive, & genuinely gracious throughout the entire evening. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want one of the finest dining experiences Montreal has to offer, Bar George delivers every time. An absolute must.
We loved the atmosphere & the food, but unfortunately the service fell well below expectations. Despite having a reservation, the hostess seemed reluctant to seat us, which immediately made us feel like an inconvenience.
After being seated, it took about 15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us. The cocktails were overpriced &, unfortunately, didn't live up to the ambiance-my martini, in particular, was unbalanced & disappointing.
When we asked for a few minutes to enjoy our drinks, the waiter informed us that the kitchen was closing & that we needed to order quickly, which felt rushed & detracted from the experience. We mentioned that we'd like to order wine after our cocktails, but once our drinks were finished & the food arrived, our server never returned to the table.
We ended up having to ask another staff member for the wine menu. Overall, the poor service significantly impacted our evening.
Sadly, I left feeling disappointed & underwhelmed, & I wouldn't return.
Get transported back to the 1900s in this opulent bar inside the Mount Stephen Hotel. It's very ornate & I love the oval wrap around bar. Makes it a very convivial vibe & they make solid cocktails. Their food is good too if you wanted to grab a bite but not a full meal. This is my second visit & it's still amazing!
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.

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.
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 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 !
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!
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.
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.
Music great; decor amazing; waitress very friendly but took too long to take our order & bartender took too long to make our cocktails. Hostess poorly organized our seating area. Bit of a long story
A must-visit for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted cocktail. The atmosphere inside is fantastic, & I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Though on the pricier side, it was worth every dolla
