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.

Après plusieurs visites, on aime bien retourner à la brasserie Boswell.

Le menu est très classique avec les usual suspects de burgers & tartares, on ne réinvente pas la roue mais ce qu'on fait, on le fait bien.

Belle sélection de bière artisanale servie dans les verres à l'effigie de la brasserie.

On diffuse maintenant les parties des Canadiens les soirs de match sur un projecteur avec une belle qualité d'image.

En terminant, on doit souligner le service professionnel, attentionné & efficace de la serveuse aux cheveux bouclés, c'est la touche qui unit l'ensemble de l'expérience pour un 5 étoiles bien mérité.

Fortement recommandé.

P.S.: si ce review vous a été utile à arrêter vos choix, laissez un 👍, merci 🙏

I wish that I loved closer to this place so I could visit more often. The food was really excellent; I got the fried cheese curds, which were so much better & more interesting than I expected them to be, & while I was torn between the burger & the fish & chips, the people sitting next to me got exactly that, so to try something different I ordered a steak tartare. I'd never had one before but I very much enjoyed it. The service was fast & polite & while I server only spoke french, he was very easy to understand. The drink selection is also varied enough that you could have many return visits & not get close to trying everything. The friend I met there that night told me about all of the various activity nights that they hold & I felt anpang of envy that she got to take part in them. A strong recommendation on all fronts!

Bonne ambiance, la bière était excellente, tout comme les frites, mais je retire deux étoiles principalement à cause du tartare de saumon, qui manquait de saveur, & surtout à cause de l'attitude du serveur aux longs cheveux roux.

Nous étions en groupe, & son comportement était particulièrement désagréable à mon égard, sans raison apparente. Quand mon tartare est arrivé sans les frites que j'avais commandées, j'ai gentiment mentionné qu'il me manquait les frites. Il m'a répondu sèchement : « S'parce que j'ai pas assez de bras, là » Plus tard, lorsque j'ai demandé une deuxième bière du même type que celle commandée plus tôt (une blanche), il m'a répondu : « T'as rien pris de ça. » Il avait manifestement fait une erreur sur ma commande initiale, mais au lieu de s'excuser, il a réagi de manière condescendante & désagréable.

Je comprends que gérer un groupe peut être exigeant, & je respecte cela. Cependant, adopter une attitude aimable ne demande pas plus d'effort & aurait complètement changé mon expérience. C'est dommage, car j'ai beaucoup aimé l'endroit, mais ce type de service est selon moi inacceptable.

L'ambiance est absolument 10/10. Un super bel endroit pour avoir du gun entre amis. La musique est pas trop forte (grand bonus on s'entend). La bière est bonne & originale. J'y ai été lors d'une soirée quiz par hasard & on a vraiment eu du fun. Le tartare était bon. Les ingrédients sont frais.

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.

This was by far the best meal we had during a week in Montreal. The salmon tartare was to die for. We also had the fried chicken which was juicy & perfectly seasoned. The place was sort of a ghost town at lunch, but we didn't mind one bit. Can't wait to come back.

Maybe not the best place to bring a kid but they did have a seat. A medium high noise atmosphere. Beers are great & the food menu is delicious, very Lebanese influenced. Try the steak tartare.
