Review Summary

Barley - Bar à Céréales is repeatedly praised for a flavorful, imaginative brunch menu and a playful cereals concept, with standouts like matcha pancakes, halloumi plates, Turkish eggs, avocado toast, and a fried chicken waffle that many find especially tasty; drinks are generally good but some matcha lattes arrive cold and service can be slow or imperfect with occasional missed or mixed orders, though staff are described as friendly and attentive; the ambience is cozy and stylish, yet the space can be very loud during peak hours and reservations are often recommended; portions range from generous to moderately sized and prices can feel high for the value, though freshness and balance across dishes are commonly noted; overall the reviews portray a popular brunch spot in Montreal that delivers standout flavors and a memorable experience, even as some visits note menu changes, longer waits, and variability in consistency.

Love coming to barleys for the fresh & flavourful brunch options. My personal fav is the Lebanese plate with their homemade sausages & their house pancakes for dessert, they're so fluffy! Fried chicken with hot honey is also so yummy & not heavy. The playlist is always such a vibe & the atmosphere is so chill. Youssef is such a great host, makes everyone feel at home & gives great recommendations. Eloise is super friendly & gives great service! Definitely a brunch you need to try!! ☺️

My go to place for brunch!! The cuisine is diverse & tasty. Many dishes remind me of flavours from back home in Lebanon. In addition, the manager Youssef always makes sure you have the best experience

One of my go-to places for brunch! Unique menu with delicious food & they accommodate to a lot of dietary restrictions which is perfect when going as a group so that everyone can find something they want to & can eat!

Barley is always delicious. I love this brunch spot & I love even more that it is one of the only ones on Notre Dame that you can make a reservation. The vibe of this place is great & every menu item I've liked. I think what I ordered this time around was my favorite since it was so flavourful & filling. The service was okay, it could have been better. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Barley, I will definitely be back

My girlfriend & I decided to go here for brunch. We both love the matcha pancakes & have had it for takeout loads of times, so we decided to sit in this time around. Unfortunately, we had a pretty bad experience & don't know if we'll be back anytime soon. My meal was slightly cold, which didn't really bother me at first. But after asking for our check, we ended up waiting another half hour or so - the two waitress we asked honestly couldn't care less about us. This was a shame as we enjoy their food. Bummer.

Went to have brunch in a spot that locals where raving about, but had a huge line up. Ended up walking down the block & popping in Barley with a friend. Great atmosphere, i had the avocado toast it was great. Portion is ok, not generous. Coffee was standrad. Friend had the halloumi plate, they spent the whole day raving about it. If you are in the Atwater area & want to grab a bite, you should give this place a shoot.

This restaurant is great for brunch. However for me it felt too cramped & very loud I could barely hear my friends right next to me. The food was good not much to write home about & the drinks were ok. The menu does have a lot to offer & probably has better quality but as for what I ate It wasn't a dish I'd go back for.

Cute spot for breakfast! The food was delicious but a little bit on the pricier side for brunch, but that's the vibe of the place. Was really busy on a Sunday morning but only had to wait about 20 minutes.

Excellent brunch au Barley ce matin. Bon service. La place était bondée, idéalement prévoir une réservation lorsque vous souhaitez y aller.

The food was so good & I would recommend the halloumi plate to everyone because it is so good just chief kiss. I am personally not a sweet brunch person so i loved it! & also their latte tastes so good. We also had salad & pancakes which were good too! & the salad my sister loved it! 🎀🌷✨ People complains that the place is a bit pricey but i would say the atmosphere, the service & the food is worth it! Because i have been there thrice now & every single time the girls were so sweet & nice! 🤍
