Good but nothing amazing. Matcha pancake was good but labneh dish had barely any pita to accompany the dips. Practical to be able to make reservations since so many brunch places don't take any.
went this morning with a group of 5 people. the menu has DRASTICALLY changed. there are only around 9 ish items on the menu (individual) & 4 that are meant to share. the portions are ridiculously small & expensive for what you get. i.e 19$ for thé Crème brûlée french toast (you get ONE slide of toast) & the 16$ Turkish eggs. The waitress advised to get the extra smoked salmon (+5$) since the portion was small for the Turkish eggs, which turned out to be a waste. I received 4 mini slices (no more than 2cm x 3cm) added to my meal. crazy. 2 stars only for the matcha. that was pretty decent. not coming back though.
Nous y étions quelques jours après la réouverture officielle & c'était déjà bondé, donc assez bruyant pour un samedi matin mais ça ne nous a pas empêché de passer un bon moment. Pain doré à la crème brûlée pour moi & la gaufre avec poulet frit pour mon copain & nous avons tous les deux adoré notre plat! Super bien balancé & pas trop lourd pour un brunch :)
New menu for 2025 is good, we tried the avo-toast & crème brule french toast, really good must try
The avocado toast was super normal, nothing wow about it.
The pancake which comes with dulche de leche was super super sweet! I know you are going for something sweet, but then it's 1000 times more than highest sweet you ever tried!
Coffee was very normal too!
Nothing special to pay 70$ for these plus an orange juice!
Obviously you pay for influencers fee!
This place has changed so much since I last been & I was informed that it will change more. I went specifically for a plate I had tried & loved 2 years ago but unfortunately it wasn't available anymore. The other option was also delicious but the salty plate my friend took was merely passable.
The vibe changed a lot from before, no more ranges of cereals on the wall for you to choose from.
I was told the restaurant & menu will be revamped. I'm curious how it will be but I already miss how it used to be :(
The service though was good, any questions were answered to the best of their knowledge, & kept being welcoming & smiling.
Très bruyant, on ne s'entend pas vraiment parler. Le service est amical. Cependant, les plats mettent en général 30min à sortir - allant jusqu'à 40-45min lors des moments de rush. Il ne faut pas être pressé. J'ai pris la tartine aux champignons qui n'était pas franchement bonne, accompagnée des pommes de terres qui semblent être du surgelés. & puis malgré l'attente, les plats n'étaient pas chauds.
We had a reservation at Barley Brunch for 3pm, but arrived about half an hour early. The hostess greeted us warmly-super friendly & welcoming-& let us know our table was already ready, which was a nice surprise.
Barley was on my list of top 5 must-try brunch spots in Montreal, based on Instagram recommendations. Overall, the food was decent. The chicken & waffles had potential, but the sauce was a little overpowering for our taste. The salad was okay-not particularly memorable-but the star of the show was definitely the matcha pancake. That did not disappoint. Highly recommend trying it if you go!
We also ordered some teas, & one person in our group who can't have milk was a bit disappointed to find out they only offered milk & not cream as an alternative. It's a small detail, but worth noting.
All in all, the service was fantastic, the vibe was great, & the matcha pancake alone makes it worth a visit.
Waited one hour for undercooked pancakes & dry waffles, the coffee was good though
Vous avez un numéro de téléphone svp?? J'ai oublié mes AirPods & il n'y a aucun moyen de vous rejoindre
Finally getting around to posting a review after I tried this place a few months back. The food was not super memorable, but still happy I tried after passing this place a few times.
I found the service to be quite slow & even though there were a bunch of tables open inside we had a bit of an issue with seating. Although it may have been because we were only 2 & the other open tables were for larger parties. I got the chicken & waffles. I found the spicy maple to be an interesting twist. Overall, the food was pretty good & I would say around 3.5 stars.
This place is brunch perfection! The vibe is cozy & welcoming, the staff is friendly, & the food? Unreal. I had the pancakes au matcha it was so goooooood. The coffee was spot-on. Quick service, gorgeous plates, & a menu that begs for repeat visits. Five stars-go treat yourself!

Breakfast here is an absolute delight! Every bite feels like a warm, comforting hug to start the day. The menu balances classic favorites (fluffy pancakes, perfectly crispy bacon) with creative twists-think avocado toast with zesty lime or decadent stuffed French toast. Ingredients taste fresh & high-quality, & the coffee is rich & aromatic. The staff radiates positivity, offering quick service without ever feeling rushed. Cozy ambiance with a touch of modern flair makes it ideal for solo mornings or lively brunch gatherings. Affordable, flavorful.
From the moment we stepped in, everything exceeded our expectations. The food here is truly phenomenal-each dish bursting with flavor & prepared to perfection. We couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was! & the service? It's on another level. The staff are not only attentive & friendly but go above & beyond to make you feel welcome & special.
We're traveling all the way from Australia, exploring Canada, & so far, this has been by far the best dining experience we've had. Every detail-from the atmosphere to the presentation of the food-has been top-notch. This place has certainly set the bar high, & we're so grateful to have had the chance to experience it.

The food? Absolutely fantastic. Their pancakes are beautifully presented & packed with flavor, while their avocado & beet hummus toast is a standout-creamy, fresh, & perfectly seasoned. Their halloumi platter is another crowd-pleaser, offering a delicious balance of textures & flavors. Of course, the main attraction is their cereal bar, where you can mix & match classic & unique cereals with various toppings for a fun, customizable treat.
Barley isn't just about great food-it's about the whole experience. Whether you're there for a quick coffee, a leisurely brunch, or to get some work done in a welcoming space, this spot delivers. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!
