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.

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.

Bar St. Denis presents a remarkable tasting menu experience. Each dish is carefully prepared, highlighting vibrant flavors & seasonal ingredients. The attentive service & the effortlessly elegant atmosphere contribute to a refined yet comfortable dining environment. This restaurant is highly recommended for a sophisticated dining experience in Montreal. The stuffed morel mushrooms were truly exceptional, offering a delightful explosion of well-balanced flavors upon the first bite. While the lamb was unfortunately overcooked & somewhat chewy, the remaining aspects of the meal were outstanding. The staff demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu, & we received commendable service. Our compliments to the chef.

Made a reservation for two & had an incredible experience. The service was amazing-everyone was attentive, kind, & worked together seamlessly. True'teamwork makes the dream work' vibes, & I loved it.

The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the cucumber, zucchini, razor clams, smoked sturgeon, pork, & sausage. For the cucumber & zucchini, I'd personally recommend choosing one or the other since the flavors were quite similar. The smoked sturgeon was a standout-never had it before, & it surprisingly tasted like ham.

Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité & la quantité! Nous étions 4 & nous avons pris 9 plats & deux desserts sur les recommandations de la serveuse. Nous avons donc goûté pas mal de plats. Deux ou trois sortaient du lot mais dans l'ensemble, c'est bof… & surtout vraiment trop cher!

Les saveurs étaient quelconques pour plusieurs plats, rien d'original. Des sauces plutôt lourdes, pas grand raffinement derrière tout ça. & des portions ridicules. Aucune générosité derrière ces plats.

& les prix… 😱. 60$ pour 200 à 250gr d'agneau accompagnés de deux asperges blanches coupées en tronçons. Agneau qui par ailleurs était plutôt coriace. Le ris de veau, qui était dans les plats qui sortaient du lot, a coûté 45$ pour un petit ris de veau accompagné de feuilles d'ortie frites. Le « pain plat » à 12$ est une ridicule galette huileuse avec un peu d'ail à l'intérieur.

Ok, le décor est bien mais il y a tellement de places où l'on mange nettement mieux & pour moins cher!

Truly incredible dining experience. The food was creative & delicious combination of French & Middle Eastern, with bold & bright flavors. It was elevated & technically well executed, while still having heart & soul. (We had the labneh & the lamb tartare both served with homemade flatbread, the white asparagus with anchovy & maple, & the tonnarelli with sea urchin- wow! That dish was next level.) The atmosphere was fun & lively with a contemporary art deco vibe. We sat at the bar & had incredible service. Our bartender (shoutout to Bastien) was not only friendly, but seriously knowledgeable about wine, spirits, & the food. He tailored our evening to our likes & truly enriched our experience- hospitality at highest level. Highly recommend dining here.

Delightful dining experience at Bar St-Denis! The tasting menu showcased the chef's creativity & skill, with each dish expertly prepared & presented.

There were 5 services for the tasting menu: (1) salmon & razor clams, which were cooked to perfection & bursting with citrusy flavor & crunchy texture. (2) The veal tartare with sardines was a bold & intriguing combination, with the veal wonderfully seasoned & the sardines adding a welcome tanginess. However, this dish may not appeal to those who prefer milder flavors. The labneh bread that goes with the veal tartare was a revelation - soft, crunchy, & infused with delicate spices. (3) The gnocchi was cooked al dente, with a well-spiced sauce, although the slight bitterness of the greens may not suit every palate. (4) The duck magret was phenomenal, with a rich, balanced sauce that complemented the duck perfectly. The only misstep was the (5) toffee pudding cake, which was overly sweet.

Our wine selection, however, was fairly priced & paired well with our meal. The espresso martini was a highlight, with a perfect balance of vodka & espresso.

Our waitress was friendly & attentive, although she could have been more proactive in refilling our water glasses. Overall, we would highly recommend this place for a special occasion or nice dinner. While it may not become a regular haunt for us, it's definitely worth a visit! Thanks to the team; my husband & I had a great date night!
