One of my favorite bars in Montreal! The place is super cozy, cute, & has such a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The food is really tasty, & the drinks are absolutely amazing-everything is so well done.
& the team deserves a special mention-they are genuinely fantastic! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, attentive, & always makes you feel right at home. You can really feel the positive energy & passion they put into creating such a great experience. The service is warm & personal without ever feeling overwhelming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable.
It's the kind of place where you come for the food & drinks but keep coming back for the atmosphere & the people. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Montreal, & I highly recommend it!
A group of friends & I visiting Montreal stopped by Suzanne. Excellent cocktails, wine list, & dumplings. Shout out to two members of staff who recommended a few of their favorite spots in town as we were coming up with plans for the weekend. Stopping by Suzanne really made our trip a special one!
Was looking forward to visiting this place again, but was so let down. They forgot our food order, so after our second drink, we asked about the food, was told it would be right out, but it took another 30 minutes. The staff didn't seem like they cared much, as they were eating right in front of us. We would no longer recommend this place, unfortunately. The service was a huge bummer.
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 :))
Amazing food, drinks are easy on the wallet & go down smooth, best part is the service. The staff are very friendly & accommodating.
Highly recommend the dumplings or saucy fries!
I was recommended by a friend to try Bar Suzanne in Montreal & I'm really glad my friends & I did. This is a really cool & chill bar with some pretty incredible drinks & food. We had heard of the famous Bain de Soleil drink & it was the first one I ordered. The presentation was absolutely adorable & tasted great too. I ordered a gin & tonic later on & it was also divine. We also tried the Impossible Meat & Shiitake dumplings & were amazed at how great they were. We would come back just for the dumplings! The overall presentation & taste of their food & drinks are quite well done & I'm really impressed.
The atmosphere is really funky & interesting. This is the type of place you'd go for a nice dinner or drinks out with your friends. The sound level is more moderate-loud - not to the point of yelling to have a conversation but it's not as quiet as a chill coffee shop either. Bar Suzanne is located in a really cool neighbourhood too, especially if you're hanging out in Plateau Mont-Royal. It's perfect walking distance from some really cool shops in this area.
Also, I must say, their merch is particularly REALLY cool. Even though this was my first time coming to this bar, I came out with a Bar Suzanne hat just to remember the great experience. They also have some really nice Bar Suzanne t-shirts. I will absolutely be visiting this bar again with my friends when I visit Montreal in the future.
Very fun & beautiful place, drinks are strong & food is good. It's been many times now since we've been to this place & it keeps proving that it's an awesome place. Highly recommended.
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.
