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.
Quelle magnifique soirée !!
La nourriture, le service, l'ambiance; tout était parfait !
Mention spéciale au chef pour la tartine au labneh : juste WOW !
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!
Had a good time here for a friend's birthday. It looks like the space is too compact but when you sit down it's actually quite nice & adequate spaced. I had the lamb which was good, but the hummus was much better! Lots of the shareable dishes are the better menu options. We'll come here again.
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.
Service un peu long mais sympathique. Endroit très populaire. Le vin que lon a bu etais excellent. Je le recommande. L'été la terasse est très agreable
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!❤️
Cute vibe for drinks & dinner if you're catching up with a friend or going on a date! The fries were very salty which is why I docked a star. I asked for a remake of the fries & the second batch was just as salty. Maybe ask for light salt!
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!
