Belle soirée entre amis! Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & n'avons pas été déçu. Notre serveur, Olivier, était aussi vraiment génial! Il a eu une belle influence sur le bon déroulement de notre soirée :)

Service & cuisine absolument exceptionnels, nous avons eu un menu des fêtes en 5 service avec un pairing de vin délicieux - je ne saurais recommander assez.

If you ever end up having to cancel a reservation because one family member is infectiously ill, this restaurant is happy to slap a $40 cancellation fee on you.
I understand that restaurants by the law have the right to charge up to $10 per person for cancellations. However, flatly applying & enforcing this rule for every situation ever is just terrible business.
I had made the reservation the day before for 4, my sister developed a cold during the day that turned into full fledged Covid/flu like symptoms (coughing, sneezing, vomiting, etc). I did the socially responsible thing of calling as soon as I knew this to cancel, because it's not okay to bring a sick person in a small space with food around, but alas. Bar st-Denis punishes you for not bringing a sick person to their restaurant.
I had been to this restaurant once before & had greatly enjoyed myself, which is why I wanted to return this time. I will never step foot in this restaurant ever again & will recommend people against visiting for their lack of humanity.

Good food, good atmosphere.
We went with a group & ordered a lot of food for sharing. I can't say thr food was my taste, but others enjoyed. Portions were small for our group, but again we ordered group menu.
Wine was fantastic & the vibe was decent.
Probably a great place to grab a drink & apps.

We had a fantastic meal from start to finish. Creative, well-balanced dishes, excellent wine pairing, & genuinely great table service.

Really enjoyed my visit here. The ambiance is lovely, & I loved the open-concept kitchen-it adds a lot of energy to the space. One thing to note though: the lighting is very bright earlier in the evening, so personally I wouldn't pick this spot for a first date (unless you're going for fully-lit, no-mystery vibes).
A heads-up for anyone booking: we were told that with a reservation, you're expected to order at least two plates per person. The portions are smaller & designed for sharing, so it makes sense, but it's definitely good to know going in.
Food-wise, highlights were the razor clams & tabbouleh-both tasted super fresh & vibrant. The labneh was great too, & the bread that came with it was good, but we definitely needed more bread to match the labneh-to-bread ratio. We also ordered the fries, which were a really generous portion, & the duck, which was delicious (slightly on the salty side) but worked really well with the mushrooms. We finished with a couple seafood pasta dishes-light overall, but the seafood really shone.
Overall, the price-to-quality ratio feels solid, & we had a great time trying a bunch of dishes.
Would recommend if you want to try something new!

Went there tonight with friends & the service was the slowest I ever experienced. We had to fill our own glasses of wine, no bucket of ice, & had to ask for more water at least 3 times during the night.
The food was bland at best & way overpriced for the lack of flavor & creativity from the cooks.
Will never go back & would definitely never recommend this place to anyone.

For the second year in a row, we spent thanksgiving in Montreal. For the second year in a row, we celebrated at @barstdenis. & for the second year in a row, we had an absolutely wonderful meal. Bar St Denis is one of those places where the joy & warmth of those cooking & serving the food is both apparent & contagious. True hospitality can't be faked, & they have it in spades. Bravo.
Oh, & the food is SPECTACULAR - thoughtful, playful, referential without being unoriginal.

Chaque visite ici m'émeut. Emily & David comprennent la restauration: hospitalité, qualité, surprises. Tout le monde a le sourire aux lèvres, aime son travail. & la cuisine (quelle cuisine!) danse en synchronicité. Plusieurs classiques déjà. On aime beaucoup.

Une valeur sûre & de qualité à Villeray. Autant au niveau de l'ambiance/décoration que du service & de la nourriture. Pris 2 bières (22$) + un plat de palourdes (24$) + un plat de chicharrón aux crevettes (18$) + mon invité 1 Margarita (15$) + 1 bière (11$), total + taxes + pourboire = 119,68$.

We had the menu from November 2025, & it was underwhelming. Scallop crudo, matsutake, beef tartare & monkfish. The natural flavors of the matsutake, raw beef & monkfish were overwhelmed by other very strong flavors. Beef tartare with white anchovies just tasted like anchovy flavored paste. Monkfish tasted like bacon flavored flakes. Not particularly bold or interesting combinations & they really compromised/muddled the quality of the main premium ingredients by adding so much other stuff. All of the dishes had components that were wholly unnecessary or actually made the overall dish worse. Service was great & it's nice to see an open kitchen. Not anything horrible taste wise, but did not live up to its price point & reputation.

C'était ma première fois au Bar St-Denis & quelle belle découverte !
?Tout était vraiment délicieux. Un immense coup de coeur pour les palourdes & le boudin!
?J'ai beaucoup apprécié le service : il était compétent tout en restant discret, ce qui est parfait. De plus, les choix de vins sont irréprochables.
?Une adresse que je recommande chaudement & où je retournerai sans faute !
Valerie
Très belle expérience! Sélection de vins intéressante & variée & très bon service. Les plats sont excellents & la présentation est travaillée. Les pétoncles étaient savoureux & cuits à la perfection. Je vous le recommande sans hésitation.

Delicious food. My friends had the tasting menu but since I don't eat shellfish or pork I went a-la-cart. 4 dishes were plenty.
The leeks, tomatoes & tuna were amazing.
Xavier
Bel endroit, bel ambiance. C'est un peu cher pour la quantité dans les assiettes, mais la qualité y est.

Let's start by saying we had a really nice evening & enjoyed our food. The server was friendly, answered our questions & contributed to a good atmosphere. We had a disappointing dinner the night before at a different tasting restaurant & when we saw that the menu was different than what was online, we became concerned. We started with three dishes, & each was a pleasant surprise. We flet they were all unique takes on traditional dishes. The Sturgeon & Beet plate was very mild in flavor, but it worked. It reminded us of grandparents eating borsh. The Gnochetti Sardi was our favorite, with a feel of mac & cheese with sliced, cripy lobster mushroom as the crunch. That worked so well. & the Onion Tart, like French Onion Soup, had a crisp crust with lots of flavor. I wish we had tried the Razor Clams though. But that is for next time.
