Reviews describe Bar Pamplemousse as a cozy, well run spot where drinks and food shine, with standout cocktails, a strong beer selection, and a menu that often pleases with labneh, falafel, hummus, lamb, oysters, and other shareable dishes; the service is repeatedly praised for friendliness and attentiveness, and the ambience is described as welcoming and lively, though some evenings may feel busier and slower; guests note generous portions, consistent food quality, and a good value for the quality, making it a good choice for family or friends; some criticisms appear, including occasional slow service, a smell from an adjacent building when seated outside, and a controversial incident about an added charge on a side of mayo, as well as a mixed experience with group dining and billing; nonetheless the overall impression is of a versatile, enjoyable spot with delicious cocktails, tasty dishes, and a welcoming staff that inspires repeat visits.
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
Currently sitting at the bar with these delicious oysters plate for the happy hour (35$/12 oysters) & needed to leave a comment as the service here is great, especially the guy buzzcut hair bartender who make the BEST espresso martinis.
Place is very cute as well.
100% recommend.
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. 😊🙏👍😎
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!
La nourriture est vraiment impeccable , ce sont probablement les meilleurs falafels authentique que j'ai mangé à vie, la serveuse qui nous a servit : Sandrine nous a offert un excellent service, elle est attentionné au besoin de ses clients & elle est cute. :)

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!

Oysters was amazing we got 2 dozens but 30 for a dozen on special isn't the best deal. Vibe was good during happy hour as they had a dj playing nice groove tunes :)
Wow!!!! Notre serveur Ty était tellement parfait, excellent service, nous a recommandé les meilleures choses sur le menu avec le pairing de vin incroyable!
Je serai de retour, merci beaucoup Ty tu es un vrai connaisseur !
L'une de mes meilleures expériences gustatives à Montréal! Leur plats sont sublimes; riches de saveurs, de diversité j'ai été subjuguée! Merci chef Sami & son équipe !🙏🏻
