Overall, reviews describe Bar Pamplemousse as a cozy, stylish spot with a welcoming vibe where drinks and food consistently impress. The menu features inventive cocktails, a strong craft beer selection, and a range of dishes from hummus and lamb to octopus and falafel that many describe as outstanding. The service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and professional, with staff making guests feel welcome and well looked after. Ambiance shifts from intimate to lively, with a charming interior and a nice terrace that some guests enjoy, though a few reviews note crowding or a moldy smell from a nearby building when seated outside. Occasional critiques include slow service during busy periods, price inconsistencies between menus outside and inside, and a group billing issue that some felt could have been handled more smoothly. Overall Bar Pamplemousse is described as a great place for friends or family to enjoy a night out with reliable drinks, tasty food, and a warm, friendly atmosphere, with many looking forward to returning.
Great cocktails, phenomenal service, ample craft beer selection, amazing food, big portions, a diverse & delicious menu. Thank you william for the fantastic service.
I had two cocktails which were absolutely incredible! Our server was very nice as well. The only negative thing is that moldy smell coming from the abandoned building next door as we were sitting outside to enjoy the sunny day. Otherwise, I would have given a well deserved 5 stars! Love that place
Prices on the menu posted outside are cheaper than prices on the menu inside, which is deceptive. Our table & cocktail glasses were sticky & service was slow
I had the best seat in the house. Beautiful food & a wonderful setting. A unique cocktail that worked well as a starter & a digestif. Delightful staff! My spend was a very reasonable lobster roll & oysters of the moment, & delicious drinks starting & finishing with Sammy Street, a beautiful variation on a Vieux Carre or similar but with Calvados instead of VSOP & sesame oil for aromatics, a brilliant move, with luscious NEIPAs in between. Altogether a wonderful dinner no matter what the view out the open cafe window. A place to be sought out. 😊🙏👍😎

Bonne ambiance, les cocktails sont supers originaux & si vous y allez l'été il y a une grosse terrasse en avant. J'irai plus pour les drinks que pour la nourriture par exemple
Fantastic food, friendly staff, great ambiance, & absolutely delicious cocktails! William treated us like old friends (even though it was only our second time there) & made us feel so welcome. Needless to say, the service here is unlike any other bar I've been too. Great staff through & through. Hugo's cocktails are also incredibly noteworthy. We've been to some great cocktail bars across the city, but his drinks are top shelf! The Princess Peach Special is one of the best I've had, the Jahannam Jam is perfection, as are his classic Margheritas! They have gained two new regulars for sure!
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.

Superbe soirée pour mon 50 ans avec ma mère & ma soeur Cocktails & repas délicieux Une belle découverte Merci à Tino pour le soin pris pour ma réservation!❤️
Bar Pamplemousse is a must-visit in the Quartier des Spectacles! The cocktails are insanely good, super creative, & always hit the spot. The staff is awesome, helpful & friendly. Perfect for a night out with friends during their monthly events or for unwinding after your 9-to-5. Definitely a place you'll want to keep coming back to!
Excellent cocktails & super comfy sofas. Staff is mostly nice, can be a bit dry when it's very busy but that's to be expected. It's also nice the the music volume is just perfect, not so loud that you can't have a conversation.
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.

Everyone over there are so lovely! From the bartender to the waiter/tress, the food is amazing & so does the cocktail 🥂 Lucky we are that we can go to a 3 in 1 places in Montreal (good service, food & drinks) I recommend this place to everyone!
La nourriture est très bonne & les prix sont raisonnable! Nous avons choisi trois cocktails différents & ils étaient tous excellent. Les serveurs étaient super accueillant!
I get they're a restaurant probably tipped based on server but had to pay early. Great beer but only good for dinner. Would pass for late night unless you're buying cocktails.
Cocktails were very good but pricey (>20$/piece depending on what you choose). I didn't try their food, but they have wood fired oven pizza ! We came early so there was not much ambiance but the decor was stylish & we liked it a lot. I would definitely go back at a later time & try their pizza ;).
