Bernard Cabaret Gourmand est perçu comme un lieu spectaculaire par son espace et son décor, avec une ambiance vibrante et des spectacles variés qui créent une expérience immersive et chaleureuse, soutenue par un personnel attentionné et accueillant qui fait la différence. Cependant, des critiques pointent un rapport prix-quantité décevant, des plats parfois tièdes ou de qualité inférieure au tarif, et un service parfois lent, même si d'autres décrivent l'accueil comme efficace et sympathique. L'âme du lieu repose sur les numéros de cabaret et burlesque, l'ambiance inclusive et la proximité des artistes, avec une expérience qui peut être magique mais dont l'intensité et le coût varient selon les soirées et les prestations; certains trouvent l'expérience exceptionnelle et mémorable, d'autres estiment que le prix reste élevé pour ce qui est servi. Des brunchs et des spectacles ajoutent une dimension conviviale, mais la nourriture et les boissons restent parfois considérés comme coûteux et ne correspondent pas toujours à l'attente. À noter aussi des aspects pratiques, comme un éclairage plutôt faible, un volume sonore parfois élevé et des toilettes pas totalement autonomes pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.
WOW! Quel endroit absolument magnifique ! L'ambiance est vibrante, la déco soignée, & pour un établissement ouvert depuis à peine six mois, c'est franchement impressionnant.
Le personnel est d'une courtoisie irréprochable : souriant, attentionné, chaleureux - ça fait toute la différence.
& les Drag Queens? Spectaculaires, flamboyantes, drôles, professionnelles… Elles ajoutent une magie incroyable à l'expérience.
Nous avons adoré célébrer notre party de Noël chez vous! Tout était parfait : la musique, l'ambiance, le service, la vibe.
Un endroit jeune, déjà exceptionnel, & qui mérite pleinement d'être découvert. On recommande sans hésiter! 🎉✨💖

I attended the Scrambled Eggs drag brunch on November 23rd, 2025 at The Bernard: Cabaret Gourmand, & I can say without hesitation that this was one of the best live experiences I've ever had.
First, the building itself deserves a standing ovation. Once a bank, it has been transformed into a breathtaking space that feels like a mix of French-Revolution elegance blended into an ombré aesthetic, splashed generously with cabaret flair, a touch of burlesque artistry, & a bold, expressive theatrical vibe. & one thing's for sure: please take a good look at the wallpaper!!! The decor alone is an experience.
Now, the staff: absolutely outstanding. Kind, attentive, observant, & always on rotation so no guest was ever forgotten. I never even had to ask for water once - it simply appeared when needed. They were upbeat, lively (yes,'dandy' works perfectly as a positive term here), & felt genuinely excited to be part of the event. Their energy matched the audience's in the best way possible. It didn't feel like a show; it felt like one big, welcoming hangout where everyone shared the same vibe.
The entire atmosphere was a safe, joyful space. I felt completely comfortable being myself, laughing loudly, & joining in on the fun. Everyone bounced off each other's humor naturally. It was the safest, warmest, most inclusive environment I've ever been in. I truly hope this brunch returns in 2026, because I need to bring others to experience what I felt today.
As for the brunch setup: after admission, you can choose between a meal-only option or an unlimited mimosa package. I ordered the avocado toast - thick, crunchy, perfectly toasted bread topped with fresh avocado. Delicious & absolutely satisfying. Other dishes looked just as tempting.
Now, the performers - the heart of the event. Hosted by Montreal's favourite auntie Uma Gahd from Canada's Drag Race Season 5, the show was non-stop energy. We were also treated to the gorgeous & talented Suri Racha, & as an incredible surprise, Jaylene Tyme, Miss Congeniality of Canada's Drag Race Season 5, appeared & lit up the entire room. As someone who lives far & doesn't always get the chance to see certain performers, finally seeing them meant a lot - a real'splash of heart' moment for me.
Every performer was upbeat, precise, & deeply connected with the audience. They moved around the entire venue so everyone felt included, & they knew how to command the crowd even without saying a word. The event felt empowering - especially with performances celebrating icons like Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, & more. Some moments recreated scenes from Canada's Drag Race Season 5 right before our eyes. It was captivating from beginning to end.
& trust me - I'm not a cat who bites if something is'too much.' I loved every second, & it never stopped being fun.
To top it all off, the artists stayed afterward to take pictures, chat with attendees, & genuinely connect. It meant a lot to feel seen & appreciated. I don't go for recognition, but it always warms my heart when the artists make me feel welcomed & valued.
As an event organizer myself, I can easily imagine booking this venue for shows, corporate events, or celebrations. The lighting, atmosphere, & flow were exceptional.
The Bernard: Cabaret Gourmand delivered a truly unforgettable 20/5-star experience.
I can't wait to come back, & I hope Scrambled Eggs returns again next year - because I'll be there, bringing everyone I can with me.
During our visit to Montreal, we stumbled upon Bernards for late-night drinks. Their staff & bartenders were absolutely incredible. They were friendly, welcoming, & extremely talented--even going out of their way to make us something customized & unique. We loved it so much we had to come back for their Drag Brunch,'Scrambled Legs', on Sunday.
The food & drink, atmosphere, customer service, & entertainment are all a 10/10 to me & those who attended with me!
Food: 10/10
They provided some vegetarian & vegan options for both their food & drinks. One of the dishes we got was the vegan waffles which used chanterelle mushrooms to emulate chicken & waffles & it was probably the best waffles we've ever had. Overall, they have a small, but sophisticated food menu.
Atmosphere: 11/10
It is located in a beautiful building with many intricate details that lend the atmosphere a luxurious feeling. I would recommend coming to have a drink here for the atmosphere alone.
Customer Service: 11/10
The staff here really go above & beyond to ensure that everyone has a great time. Even with our food specifications, they walked us through all the options without hesitation. They're also quite humorous & entertaining themselves!
Entertainment: 10/10
We saw both a cabaret show & their drag brunch show & were thoroughly impressed with the range of acts provided!
Overall, please give Bernards a try if you are in The Village. I'd highly recommend them & will be recommending them to friends who visit Montreal.
I discovered a jewel of a place located in the heart of Montreal's village nightlife.
Here is what I wrote a friend about Bernard Gourmand Cabaret Burlesque, on this day, Friday, June 20th, officially the 1st day of summer:
About this place:
No cover charge. But you would be expected to order something to drink or eat.
There is LIVE spectacle entertainment here. The performances are dazzling & the music selection great igniting one's nostalgia for the 1940s.
I am no fan of drag queens but an occasional one performs to satisfy a diverse clientel. Tonight there were no drag queens but a burlesque Rio Carnival girl in full costume regallia performing on the floor & on the bar counter & of course a pole dancer who also used her skills on an elevated overhanging hoop from a ceiling which was incredible!
The drinks are expensive to cover the cost of the performers & entertainment. I have not yet experienced their lunch hour brunch but I expect to: performances are also LIVE at brunch.
My'querdo' portugese beer cost me $11.50 after tax per bottle but was well worth it given the quality of entertainment. I do not know how much cocktail drinks are. I had 3 beers tonight.
Somebody I invited, was supposed to show up tonight, Friday night June 20th the first day of summer officially but he never showed up. I had a good time anyway. I arrived at 8 PM & left at 10:00 p.m.
Absolutely loved my experience here. From what I remember they were serving brunch cooked hot plates since their kitchen was still in the process of being completed & the food was EXCELLENT!! We had an amazing yogurt bowl, coffee, salmon gravlax, & avocado toast.
It's definitely a splurge depending on the event, we did drag brunch, & it was worth every penny. The pole/burlesque shows are next on my list for this spot. Can't wait for them to become a village institution.
Location = terrific
Staff / service = terrific
Food = terrific
Entertainment = amazing
Went for the drag brunch, the food was really at another level than I expected. The staff was wonderful, super friendly. The entertainment was so much more than I was expecting. Already planning to go back soon.
