Barley - Bar à Céréales agit comme une destination spécialisée dans la nutrition à base de céréales, axée sur des bols préparés avec de l'avoine, du granola et diverses céréales anciennes. Chaque préparation intègre un mélange de laits végétaux, de fruits frais de saison et de graines variées afin de créer des profils de saveurs équilibrés. Les clients choisissent parmi une gamme de combinaisons préétablies ou personnalisent leurs bols avec des garnitures de qualité supérieure comme des beurres de noix et des poudres de superaliments. L'esthétique minimaliste de l'intérieur reflète la philosophie culinaire épurée et axée sur la santé, omniprésente dans les établissements modernes dédiés aux céréales. Parallèlement à ces offres, la sélection comprend des cafés de spécialité et des boissons préparées conçues pour compléter la texture des bases céréalières. La précision de la qualité des ingrédients demeure la marque de fabrique de cet établissement.
Barley - Bar à Céréales est reconnu comme une destination de choix pour le brunch à Montréal, appréciée pour son menu fusion moyen-oriental unique et ses plats visuellement attrayants tels que l'assiette halloumi, les œufs à la turque et les crêpes au matcha. Si de nombreux clients apprécient la qualité des saveurs et la possibilité de réserver, d'autres mentionnent des services inconstants, des temps d'attente importants lors des périodes d'affluence et un niveau sonore élevé qui nuit aux échanges. Les avis sur les cafés spécialisés sont partagés, certains trouvant les choix créatifs tandis que d'autres les jugent décevants ou peu mémorables. Malgré des commentaires mitigés sur le service et quelques irrégularités dans la préparation des plats, de nombreux visiteurs considèrent l'expérience comme délicieuse, bien que des habitués notent que la constance de l'établissement a fluctué au fil du temps.
Just pick a different place. Extremely slow, so far 45 mins for poached eggs & they are still not ready. If you sit in the interior be ready to have a headache, loud music & zero noise absorbing elements!
I am very disappointed with my experience. I had made a reservation for today, but when I arrived, the business was simply closed. Yet, according to Google, the listed hours indicated that you were open this Wednesday at 12:30 PM. It's ridiculous. Planning everything only to find the doors locked because you failed to update your own schedule is very disrespectful to your customers.

Made a reservation for me an all my friends on Open Table, only to arrive at the location & see that the restaurant was closed...Never got an email nor call, my reservation was somehow confirmed for a day they had planned to shut down & never cared to inform me. Very disappointed with the lack of communication, left a really negative first impression.
The food & service were top notch. I tried the Turkish eggs & highly recommend this dish. Really special spot to enjoy delicious food & excellent service.
Beautiful space & very friendly, accommodating servers! The food was nothing short of phenomenal! Our party got the Avocado Toast, Turkish Eggs, Halloumi Plate, & Chicken Waffles - we recommend every single one :)
The drinks were a bit underwhelming, unfortunately. They have a variety of specialty coffees, but the flavours of the Miso Caramel Latte & Almond Croissant Latte didn't stand out. I'd say it's best to save the money on drinks.
It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so make plans to arrive early or make a reservation!
Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
My wife & I had a reservation for 12:00 PM & arrived at 12:10 PM. The restaurant clearly states that reservations have a 15-minute grace period before the table may be given away. Since we arrived within that grace period, we were shocked when the hostess informed us that our table had already been given to a walk-in customer because we were'late.' When we politely expressed our frustration & pointed out that we were still within the restaurant's stated policy, the hostess became defensive & dismissive rather than acknowledging the mistake.
To make matters worse, we were then asked to wait an additional 15 minutes, despite there being an empty table available when we arrived.
Once seated, the service continued to be poor. It took approximately 20 minutes before our server came to take our order. After ordering, we waited 45-50 minutes for our food. During that time, multiple customers who were seated after us, & were being served by the same waiter, received their meals well before we did.
When our food finally arrived, our server didn't even bring it to the table himself. Throughout the meal, he never checked on us, never asked if everything was good, & generally ignored us. We noticed that other tables received much more attentive service, including follow-up to ensure everything was going well.
The overall impression was that we were unwelcome from the moment we walked in. What made the experience even more frustrating was the apparent expectation of a generous tip despite the lack of basic customer service. Tips are earned through good service, & unfortunately, the service we received fell far below average.
Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but what matters is how staff handle them. In this case, there was no accountability, no effort to correct the situation, & no concern shown for the customer experience. We left feeling frustrated, disrespected, & unlikely to return.
Showed up on monday at 11am, door is locked, it's closed. Google says it's open, their own schedule on their front door says they are open on mondays. Turns out you have to check their instagram to realize they are open Wednesday to sunday only.
