Overall, reviews describe Bar Pamplemousse as a cozy, stylish spot with a welcoming vibe where drinks and food consistently impress.

Je suis venu avec une amie pour boire un verre & manger un burger, & franchement l'endroit est super sympa, très chill, parfait pour se détendre. L'ambiance est agréable, le service cool, & la cuisine vraiment bonne. On s'est régalés ! Je recommande sans hésiter.
We had a wonderful first dining experience here. We had the tuna crudo, zucchini flowers, burger & halloumi plates, everything was fresh & delicious! Great spot close to the Quartier des spectacles!

Update: updating this review to five stars, after returning several months later, I was not charged for a side of mayo, & staff even remembered this review & joked about it during our dinner - much to the dismay of some of my coworkers present, embarrassed by me 😂 Loved feeling like they listened to customer feedback. As I said before, will gladly return again. Delicious & excellent service.

The drinks were delicious & the burger was quite tasty, cooked well & juicy with a fresh soft bun. The whole group enjoyed the food & their drinks. We liked the atmosphere & the service was timely. Food & drink prices were reasonable for the quality & the times we live in.
That said, I requested a side of mayonnaise with my burger/fries. They charged 3.50$ for a small dipping cup of mayo, which is highway robbery!! They never mentioned it would cost extra, & even so, how can you possibly justify the price? Management should consider reviewing this price in their system or stop charging entirely, it's unreasonable.
Will definitely come back, but with packets of sauce in my pocket next time, lol!
Le meilleur restaurant de Montréal hands down pardon mais j'ai eu des orgasmes en mangeant. Prenez la salade de Kale - le Koftah - le burger - la pieuvre- prenez TOUT. La mousse au chocolat. J'ai lâcher les dating apps j'ai finalement trouver l'amour j'épouse ce resto. Service impeccable. Délicieux cocktail. Jesus seigneur merci la vie.
J'y suis allé le 2024-08-28 & j'ai adoré mon expérience. J'ai pris le burger & il était vraiment excellent. Le service était bon & j'ai aimé les bières que j'ai consommées. J'ai aimé l'ambiance & la décoration à l'intérieur. Je recommande fortement l'endroit!
Service on the dog friendly patio was extremely slow for everything except water, plan on either having a snack before you arrive or ordering all of your drinks & food the first time you get a server. Food was amazing though (burger & burrata). Note menu recently changed & pizza is no longer available.

Haven't even left the table yet & needed to leave a review. If you're not trying this place out while you're in Montreal, then you are missing out. The cocktails & the beer are fantastic. The menu is perfectly curated & the flavors are truly impeccable. The burger, falafel, cucumber salad & homemade bread were insanely delicious & seasoned with perfection. You can tell they care about using quality ingredients here. & they have outdoor patio seating! More importantly, the staff are exceptionally kind & courteous, something you can't say for many food establishments in this city.
Cher pour une expérience moyenne. Frites bonnes, burger très ordinaire pour 25$. On réserve & on nous met dehors pour une autre réservation deux heures plus tard. Ça n'a nullement été indiqué lors de la réservation ou de notre arrivée que nous avions seulement deux heures. Nous venions de commander une nouvelle tournée. La soirée a été écourtée & nous ne retournerons plus.
I’ve tried many dishes at Bar Pamplemousse. Some are so tasty like the plantain burger & pizza some are good. The Jerk Chicken was nice but did not like much the ceviche. The combination was a bit weird & did not feel as if it is a fresh ceviche. The shrimps alone are delicious but not with that sauce & plantain. The chorizo pizza is really special on a thin crust. The burger is unusual & the combination is so yummy. You can find as well a variety of beers & wine. I have taste a few & none disappointed me. They were all super delicious with different taste & choice. It is a cute & romantic restaurant. It gets loud sometimes & too dark but the candles make it a cute ambiance. I will go back to just & take what I’ve been having. Probably for more drinks.
