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.

Went there for breakfast..had pancakes ..they were good but too sweet ..we ordered fruits on the side & they were not fresh ..I find it overpriced..could be a bit more clean the place ...the mirrors looked very dirty & the sofa as well ..

L'originalité du menu combiné avec la fraîcheur des produits rend ce resto un incontournable du déjeuner à Montréal. Avec ses accents méditerranéens, libanais plus précisément, on se retrouve à faire un voyage gustatif! Les pancakes au matcha sont absolument délicieuses, avec son sirop au chocolat blanc. Dents sucrées seront comblées. Les tartines aux champignons sont excellentes, les saveurs font honneur aux produits. Aussi, meilleures patates déjeuner du Québec!!!! Notre serveuse a été absolument fantastique, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus exceptionnelle.

The matcha pancakes are buttery & fluffy an absolute delight! I even recommend it for people who aren't fans of white chocolate, the combo is truly a hit!

After standing in line for a long time, it took them one hour & a half to serve our plates (avocado toast & pancakes). To compensate, they didn't charge us half of the bill, so that was nice, at least. However, it wasn't a good experience overall. The avocado & toast option wasn't good (the chickpeas were too hard, not edible)

The matcha pancakes that I got was pretty good, I only came here for that because I saw a TikTok on it. I would get it again if I come back to Montreal since I'm not from there. But my friend got the chicken & waffles & it was ok, not the best. The chicken was too crispy that it was kinda hard to eat & the waffles was too fluffy that it was hard to swallow. Service was questionable, as when we walked in, they said there was a group of 13 about to come & denied us a table without reservation. After like 3 minutes, they came back outside because we were still there & said they had 2 tables open for 2. We went in & there were many tables open.

Service extrêmement long (plus d'une heure pour être servi). Pancake incroyable & très/ trop généreux.

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.

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time ♥️. The matcha pancakes & the halloumi platter were delicious, beautifully presented, & perfectly balanced!! The service was also just lovely & I'm so glad we could have real Lebanese food!

The matcha pancakes... eh, I wasn't too crazy about it. They were ALRIGHT taste wise (maybe i expected more of a sweet flavor). I'm glad i got a good portion. However, the bar table was field of white dusts 🥲 I'd recommend to be careful about it, especially with the glasses absorbing dusts Other than that, pretty looking restaurant. & thank you to Youssef for serving me :)

I always go to try new chef's creations, like the Dulce de leche pancakes or the avo toast. It is just delicious! I always ask for his recommendation & he never disappoints. Chef PP knows his way around the cuisine!

Le bar à céréal.. je me questionne encore sur le nom du resto le lien avec le menu/concept. Le menu n'offre qu'une seule option contenant des céréales. Bref, clairement pour moi le concept n'est pas exploité à sa juste valeur. Le service était ok. L'assiette halloumi était ordinaire. L'assiette de pancake au matcha par contre était bien balancé avec le chocolat blanc & les fruits. Le chai latté par contre était excellent !

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! 🤍

Not the best service at all, there were available tables & my group of 5 waited for 15 minutes before being seated. The waitress didn't write down our order & we immediately knew she wouldn't remember it all - which is what happened, one of the meals we ordered we wanted a hard boiled egg instead of the soft boiled because the person eating it is pregnant & she can't eat uncooked yolk,, & her egg came soft boiled. We ordered the pancakes & we requested the nuts to be on the side as one person on the table is allergic to peanuts & we didn't want to take a risk with the hazelnut toping & they served us the hazelnut all over it!

The service was amazing. I have tasted many matcha pancakes but by far Barley's is the best one. I also tried the halloumi plate (big cheese fan) that was also delicious. It was a reasonable price for everything i got. Very cute place.
