Bar Suzanne is widely celebrated as a stylish and vibrant destination in Montreal, perfect for both casual dates and social outings with friends. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its unique interior, featuring beautiful greenery, skylights, and a cozy yet lively atmosphere. While the experience is generally positive, opinions on the service and noise levels vary, as the bustling environment can sometimes make conversation challenging and service speed can be inconsistent. The menu is a major highlight, with many patrons highly recommending the creative cocktails and a variety of delicious small plates, particularly the dumplings, brussels sprouts, and fries, though some find the overall pricing to be on the higher side.
Parfait endroit pour une date ou pour une soirée entre amis, la nourriture était bonne & il y avait une bonne ambiance, pas trop loud. Nous étions 4 & nous avons réservés d'avance mais il semblait avoir un bon roulement pour les personnes qui arrivaient en walk-in. Le service était parfait.
reliable spot for a little fancy date or cocktails with friends! really enjoyed the viqctoria cocktail, tofu & kimchi dumplings, & fried brussels sprouts. the dumpling filling might have benefited from a little more kimchi & seasoning but they were still really delicious. the brussels sprouts were incredible, although i recommend sharing them, they're very filling & rich (yay!).
the location is beautiful, even some of the indoor seating has an outdoor/terrasse feeling to it because of how open the space is + the glass & plants along the ceiling. having been here several times, the service is typically friendly enough, but can sometimes be a little overwhelming (they clear plates & glasses very quickly, sometimes before everything in them is gone).
highly recommend, but be sure to make a reservation or arrive early, it's a popular joint for a reason :))
Friendly service & beautiful ambiance. We ate well, had a few drinks & stayed longer than expected as we did not feel rushed. Arrived at about 5:30, we were maybe 3-4 people there in total & it quickly got full, lights were dimmed & the atmosphere was conducive to a great evening. I recommend for simple, easy date or even with several friends.
Je n'y étais jamais allée mais wow vraiment une belle place, la musique,l'ambiance, la vue ! Il y a des options véganes au menu (menu de bar pas plate, malgré la photo des frites & des olives il y a bcp d'autres choses !) vraiment la meilleure place pour une date. Leur bière sûre était délicieuse 💛
Great date spot, dumplings are more European than Chinese so try different sauces. Wine, cocktail & beer selection is on point. Patio is nice but the open air corner tables inside can't be beat.
Excellent food & cocktails offered up on a cozy & laid-back rooftop. Definitely a unique menu with an assortment of small dishes & imaginative dumplings. The few dishes we ordered tasted great & I'll definitely come back to try more! Cocktails are well made & everything is reasonably priced. Service is friendly & accommodating. Amazing spot for a date or to catch up with friends, great vibes all around! Highly, highly recommend!
Good place to talk about love, life, & F1. Went here on a date once & all he could talk about was F1. I don't understand the obsession with F1 like I've tried so hard I don't get it like & it was actually crazy he talked about F1 the entire time I don't understand how someone can have such little self awareness anyways good cocktails I got tipsy enough to tolerate the conversation so there's that
