Review Summary

Boswell Brasserie Artisanale is described as a friendly, convivial spot with a pleasant atmosphere, a balanced decor and music, and a welcoming vibe for friends and families. The beer program is a major draw with a solid craft beer selection and a menu that includes burgers, tartares, a vegetarian option, and shareable starters such as fried cheese curds. Dishes like beet risotto and a picanha plate are often praised for presentation and flavor, while a few burgers and fish dishes are noted as tasty but some items arrive cold or lack oomph. Service is frequently praised for speed and attentiveness, though isolated slow service and a wearied or rude encounter are mentioned, and some feel prices are high. The venue is also known for extras such as trivia nights on Sundays and a projector for sports, making it a lively place to meet, though some reviews mention the interior could be more distinctive and the overall experience may vary with busy nights. Overall, it comes across as a dependable microbrewery brasserie with strong drinks and reliable food, a solid choice for casual dinners with friends or family, while potential visitors should consider price points and occasional service hiccups.

Some really tasty good here. The burger I had was fantastic, & although I would've rathered it was cooked to medium-rare the flavour & juciness were incredible. The fries were very moreish too. The beers were decent, but really come here for the food.

Nice place overall. I felt like the interior lacked something, perhaps to me it felt like a hangout for students. Beer was good & the burger was delicious. They were having a trivia night (in French) but it looked like fun.

Came on a thursday night with some friends, we were seated quickly (we had a reservation) & served promptly. The two dark beers that I had were delicious. We started out with the fried cheese curds which came with excellent dipping sauces, then i had the house veggie burger. It was good but a little dry for me so i used leftover sauce from the cheese curds on the burger to spice it up, yum!

I had 2 chewy, delicious beers & a killer smoked mackerel dinner here. Beer & food are a step from many of my brew pub visits.

I had fried chicken & gnocchi. Both presentation & taste were great. The chicken was tender, the breading was savoury & the sauces had personality. The beer was great, I had a sour IPA. The service was solid. We had our service at the bar. The food is a bit pricy, but it's definitely worth the cost. It was more gastronomie than I was expecting. This place is a staple. It's worth the trek off the beaten path near the hype around metro Mont Royal.

Went to this place twice in four days because everything is so good. Classic beer. The mussels & fries are outstanding, & the staff know their stuff. Cool, relaxed fun at a decent price awaits.

Came here in February with a couple of friends & enjoyed some beers, cocktails, & entrees. Very warm ambience in the winter, & they have large terrasse for the summer. Looking forward to coming back!

The food / atmosphere / beer was decent, however the place was like 30 degrees inside. This is just too hot to be enjoyable while eating / drinking

Great gastropub. Skip the tourist areas & go here to get a real glimpse of the foodie scene. My party ordered a lot on the menu & shared bites. The salmon tartare was phenomenal, the bread & dip while sounds simple was layered with flavors. The bartender recommended a beer I wouldn't normally order, & it was great. I would consider this a must when visiting Montreal.

Love our neighborhood pub! Have been here many times & the beer is great, the service is exceptional & the food is delicious & reasonably priced for the Plateau. I also like when they change up the menu once in a while.

Great atmosphere & service at this very welcoming craft brewery. The beer is excellent, the food looked well prepared coming from the kitchen. The staff is friendly & helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to have a drink, & socialize in a warm inviting setting.
