We got the tasting menu. It was a fun variety of dishes to share. Some were delicious such as the razor clam or the beef tartare. Some others were just ok.
The service is good & we didn't wait too long for the dishes. The price is decent for the amount of food we got. Definitely worth trying.
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.

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.
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.
One of the best meals I've had in Montreal, can't wait to go back. Cocktails were delicious. Did the tasting menu & the server paired a fantastic Chablis, everything was outstanding. Razor clams & scallops were perfect.
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!

They change menu every week wish they have better plates next time. Dessert pana cotta was the best among what we've ordered. Pétoncles were sweet tasting like toffee. Pates aux Bourgots were good & pork chops' flavour was not my type
Overall a great experience! I was very excited to try out the place. Decor is fantastic. I love the open kitchen «inside» the restaurant idea. It was incredibly fun to watch the chefs do their magic. We had the tasting menu with wine paring & two cocktails to start. The cucumber spritz with homemade cucumber syrup was superb. The blueberry foam tequila drink was less interresting though. It tasted mostly of tequila.
Overall the food was great, but not mind blowing. I really enjoy their effort to not use a lot of meat & mostly use vegetables. However sometimes I found myself eating grilled onions & leeks without much flavour to it. Again, good food, but not mind blowing.
The wine pairings were all excellent, however. The tasting meny ended with a dessert paired with a fantastic Madeira sweet wine.
With this we (two persons) left with a bill of $410.
