Finally got to try this restaurant & it definitely surpassed our expectations. Fresh, high quality ingredients & bold, memorable flavours in every dish. It's a cozy, warm Italian vibe but at the same time feels elevated & worth your money, very far from a simple plate of pasta you can just make at home. We didn't get to try the cocktails or dessert but we will be back! I've already recommended this place to friends & family.

We had a great evening last night! Every dish that we ordered was delicious! We had the crudo fish, arancini, ravioli & a bistecca alla Fiorentina that was very succulent! Ambiance is great! The drinks were nice! We will definitely go back. Highly recommended!!!!

When we got to the restaurant, the person who brought us to our table was not very communicative when trying to talk to them; Which made it feel awkward. I was very disappointed with the food (Ravioli was still hard, the Focaccia appetizer was very basic & underwhelming, & the scallop Crudo was poorly plated & not worth the price!). Those were just some of the more disappointing meal factors. After being disappointed we wanted to finish the night with a good coffee, but was also disappointed because the coffee was cold. Unfortunately the only way I would recommend this restaurant is if there would be overall improvements in food execution & portion size, prices & service efficiency.

Birbante was incredible! We were a group of six girls & shared everything - & honestly, every dish was amazing. We started with the doppia bruschetta (absolutely delicious!), the burrata, & the endive salad - all so fresh & full of flavor. Then we had a risotto & a pesto pasta, both super tasty & perfectly done. Our waiter was amazing - he explained the menu so well, was super generous, & made the whole experience even better. We finished with 4-5 desserts & devoured every bite. The place itself is beautiful - the décor is super cool yet cozy. 100% recommend!

Birbante is a true gem in Montreal! Authentic Italian flavors, warm atmosphere, & a friendly team that makes you feel at home. Every dish tastes like it's made with passion & tradition something you can't easily find elsewhere in the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Italian experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

This place is a gem! The staff & the cooks are amazing. They are pushing out quality service & food. Each dish was amazing! I recommend the lamb pasta & steak was killer. The lava cake pistachio is absolutely insane, & the red snapper appetizer is a must. Like I said there is no wrong answer. We almost ordered one of everything.
