The service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and professional, with staff making guests feel welcome and well looked after.

I have been coming to Pamplemousse for several years & I always love it! Great atmosphere, big (dog friendly) terrace in the summer, really nice & professional staff, fun drinks & great food! One of my favorite places to get food while I'm having a drink. Their menu has changed a lot over the years & still changes, but it's always good. I don't think they had their pizzas last time I was there but those were always delicious. The carrots are also really nice. It can be a bit busy sometimes in peak summer, evening time but it's worth it if you can get a seat. A little pricey but it's place des arts so it's mostly on par with the area.
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.

Incredible food!!! The flavours were amazing! We sampled each of the sharing dishes. Literally said'oh my god' with most bites:) Staff, drinks, & environment also really fantastic 😃
Had a lovely time sitting at the bar with my wife. I didn't get the bartenders name, but she is a pro! These are the best drinks I have had in Montreal. She was a delight to chat with as well.
Love this place so much we went three times (once for drinks, twice for food & drink!) during a week-long work trip. Food is incredible, drinks are fab. Can't wait to go back.

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!
Five out of five stars; 5/5! It is a nice bar where you can get beer. I enjoy a nice IPA (Indian Pale Ale), out of my Teku Stemmed Beer Glass glass (Plastic). Service is quick. Fast. The atmosh sphere is hip. YEET. it feels like a dinner for under age drinkers. I like the couch sphere. 10/10.
The food was outstanding & words cannot describe how delicious the halibut crudo was! Prices are on par with other restaurants & the food & drinks were amazing. The tabbouleh salad & carrots were stand out as well - really well balanced dishes. The atmosphere was fun & the service was great. Highly recommend!
Belle ambiance & drinks délicieux, peut être un peu coûteux (entre 12 & 20$ pour les drinks signature) mais ils en valent la peine! La nourriture est aussi très bonne pour de la bouffe de bar on se croirait au resto!

Came in for a quick drink & snack. Sadly they were fully booked that evening otherwise we would have stayed for dinner. I'll be booking a spot here next time I'm in Montreal.
I came here because I saw an oyster menu picture from another review. The oyster is good & affordable btw! As for the drinks, if you're not sure what you want, we can always ask the staff for recommendations because they are cool & nice! One piece of advice maybe turn the music down a bit? It's not overly blasted anyway, but this is a cozy place, it would be nicer if we can have a bit quieter ambience so it's even easier to talk. All in all, I'm happy with my experience here & would come back if I'm in town & urge for drinks & oysters!

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.
