Review Summary

Bar St-Denis consistently earns praise for its creative, fresh, and high-quality cuisine, with many diners highlighting the razor clams, scallops, and duck as standout dishes. While the tasting menu is a popular way to experience the variety of flavors offered, the atmosphere is frequently described as warm, stylish, and vibrant, making it a favored spot for dates and gatherings. Service is generally regarded as professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, although experiences can vary, with some patrons finding the pace either too rushed or occasionally inconsistent. Despite occasional critiques regarding portion sizes, pricing, or specific flavor profiles, most guests consider the restaurant a memorable, must-visit destination in Montreal that delivers a refined yet comfortable dining experience.

The food was good (solid falafel, perfectly cooked duck) but the price points were really off for some dishes (40 dollars for cabbage... throwing in chanterelles doesn't justify that price). Service at the table was fine, but the front of house staff was extremely odd. We showed up for a reservation around 9pm & the table wasn't ready for ~30 minutes. The response? "Yeah this is a good lesson, don't pay for the bill & take too long to leave the table as a customer". Yikes.

Great little restaurant that serves small shareable plates. We had the discovery menu. The food, service & atmosphere were good. Wine selection is ok. A bit pricey but we had a good time.

5.0

This place is spectacular. The menu varies when you go, but the food is outstanding. A lot of seafood, so if you're not a seafood person, this place might not be for you. I missed pictures of the last two dishes, which were a chicken dish that tasted like a Thanksgiving turkey & a phenomenal duck dish. The service is phenomenal. All servers are articulate & always smiling. They were accommodating to some people's needs. No complaints. The atmosphere is very quaint. This place is a small hole in the wall that opens a world of wonders & excitement. My only complaint is not knowing which bathroom to go in. The pictures on the doors don't indicate which one will be right for you. I was not disappointed with the portion sizes, flavors, or dishes. I'm looking forward to going back & doing it all again.

On a suivi les suggestions de notre serveuse Laurence & nous avons été impressionné! Nous étions 4 & avons partagé le crudo de cardeau, les pétoncles, les palourdes, le boudin noir, porcelet & ballotine de poulet , la salade d'épinards sans oublier le gâteau au fromage. Bons choix de vins & cocktails

J'ai vraiment été déçue. Il n'y avait aucune complexité dans les saveurs, tout était bland (j'ai partagé avec des amies les pétoncles, cardeau, porc, labneh, falafel & tarte à l'oignon). TOUT était décevant. Le dessert était délicieux par contre (le cheesecake). Le service était bien aussi. & c'est définitivement dispendieux pour ce qu'on reçoit en retour.

Tout d'abord le service était impeccable, rien à dire! En revanche nous n'y retournerons pas malheureusement. C'est vraiment très cher pour ce que c'est & pour la qualité comparativement à d'autres restaurants dans la même gamme de prix. La déco est trop simple & un peu triste. Puis en ce qui concerne la cuisine, cela manque de goût mais surtout de finesse quand on est à ce niveau de prix. Nous avons prix 3 plats à partager & 2 verres de vin & avons dépensé 220$ (taxes & tips inclus) pour 2.
