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.
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.

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.
Really good but also lacking. I was disappointed, I think our server hated us lol.
I'm not sure I would come back, the food was very good but not sure it was worth the vibe. Was very excited to try it too!
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…
Visited Bar George for lunch, drawn in by its elegant, chic atmosphere & appealingly simple menu. The interior is stunning richly decorated with that classic'old money' vibe that makes the whole experience feel elevated.
We sat at the bar & ordered the Hamburger & Butler Steak. While there was a bit of a wait, both dishes were absolutely worth it. Everything looked, smelled, & tasted fantastic. The burger was delicious, though the bun could've held up better-but that didn't take away from how much we enjoyed it.
Service was top-notch. Huge thanks to Jonathan at the bar for the complimentary espresso such a nice touch!
I mostly eat vegetarian, sometimes a little bit of chicken, so the food for me was somewhat limited. But I really enjoyed the vibe & the drinks. Would recommend Bar George to almost everyone. It's a pretty historic place & is a good time.
Beautiful carved wood walls & ceiling. Vibes are super cool BUT I would totally remodel the area in the back. If you know you know what area. The walls have a bland color & compared to the rest of the bar it doesn't really match with the rest… I would add a nice wallpaper like they have in the front lobby & more vintage lamps to keep the vibes similar.
Drinks are perfect, food is good!
During our Montréal trip, we went to Bar George for a date night. It's such a beautiful spot with stunning decor. When we walked through the front doors, even though we had a reservation, we still had to line up with everyone else. A lot of people were lining up for the bar section near the entrance, & there was also a wedding happening upstairs, which made things a bit busier than usual.
We were booked in the dining area, which is located in a second room past the bar. We had to wait a while before someone helped us, & the arrangement at the entrance felt a little chaotic. I can't say the initial experience standing in line was great. However, once we got seated, the dining room itself was absolutely beautiful.
The vibe at the entrance felt more like a lively bar or party scene, while the dining area was much more refined & relaxed - an interesting contrast.
Once at our table, the service was fantastic. Our host was very attentive & gave us great food recommendations. We started with the mussels, which were fresh & delicious. My husband ordered the risotto, but when our food arrived, he was mistakenly served the gnocchi. The staff quickly caught the error & brought him the risotto, which he fully enjoyed.
I had the beef Wellington dish, & it was perfect - not a huge portion, but just the right amount, rich & full of flavor. We ended the night with a yummy dessert, though I can't quite remember which one it was, but I remember thoroughly enjoying it.
One thing I have to add: our bill ended up being just under $500, which, to be honest, felt way too high for a casual evening out. Even though the food was good, I can't really justify spending that much, & it definitely took away a bit from the overall experience for me. I left feeling like it just wasn't quite worth that price.

This should definitely be on the top of your list if you're visiting Montreal, there's a lot of history with the building & the cocktails are incredible. I'm heading back to Montreal in a few weeks & I can't wait to go & try their food next. Sidenote if you like good vibes, they had a really great DJ playing towards the second half of the night.
Je suis allée bruncher avec une amie un samedi matin avant 11h, & c'était très bon. La qualité des ingrédients est superbe, les présentations sont belles. Le vibe général est moins prétentieux qu'on peut penser vu l'extravagance de l'architecture. Maxence en particulier était super gentil & attentionné. J'ai pris le gravlax de saumon & mon amie les toasts à l'avocat. Prochaine fois j'essaye la Fleur Kalamansi. Par contre, j'avais encore très faim après mon gravlax à 30$.

The food & vibes were so so so good. The drinks were delicious. Go here knowing your getting a whole experience & take your time. We were a bit rushed only because we we were seeing a show after so it was our own fault but we'd totally go back & chill. We also got the caviar & that was absolutely delicious, creamy subtle & the staff was knowledgeable in letting us know how we should eat it. The service was amazing our sever was so friendly & understanding & helpful on letting us know about the menu. If you want fancy & vibey come here you will not regret it.
Bar George is a busy spot, even at 5pm on a very rainy Wednesday. Putting your name at the host stand & waiting in line is also somewhat convoluted as they assumed since I was speaking in English, my first language wasn't french & I could not understand the regulars that kept getting admitted no reservation before us, because they know somebody. Additionally, sitting at the bar, the drinks were great, but there were items missing from the list & that's always a faux-pas for me when you don't offer your full menu. The bar itself is gorgeous though, & the vibe is fantastic.
