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.
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.

Une poutine pas mauvaise & un bon choix de bière je recommande. En revanche la hauteur des tables n est pas en accord avec la hauteur des tabourets (tabourets trop haut ou table trop basse). Si comme moi vous avez l'habitude de vous accouder en buvant votre bière vous en sortirez avec un mal de dos.
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!
The butter chicken pizza was good but it probably could have been better & would be cool if there was a vegan or vegetarian version of the dish as an option. The highlight was the crust : it reminded me of Tasty Foods pizza crust. I really liked sitting outside at night on the terrace. The people there are chill & waitresses & waiters are super nice. Will be back to try other things :)

V?tu mohu opravit takto: "What a place! We had a wonderful guy who served us, staying with us late & offering a great variety of beers. He had excellent knowledge. If you are in the area, this is a must!"
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.

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 ;).
Had the most wonderful experience at Bar Pamplemousse! We ordered the Saturn & let me tell you if you like your cocktails slightly sweeter you will love this one. The mixologist nailed it. The butter chicken pizza was hands down the best pizza I've had. I would give 11/10 if I could! Our server Adri was a gem of a person. Will definitely be back.
