Review Summary

Overall, Brasserie Bernard earns praise for its warm, Parisian-inspired atmosphere, attentive service, and dependable French bistro fare that many reviewers consider a reliable neighborhood staple in Outremont. Seafood lovers note strong moules marinières, oysters, octopus, salmon tartare and other accents, while the duck confit and fish and chips also receive high marks, with the wine list and desserts frequently applauded. The service is described as impeccable or very friendly by many, with knowledgeable recommendations and a welcoming vibe, though several reviews mention occasional slow or uneven service and long waits when busy. The ambiance and decor are repeatedly praised as charming and lively, though some tables feel cramped and the room can get quite noisy. Price and value receive mixed verdicts, with some praising quality and generous portions, and others calling the prices steep for the size or questioning the value compared with other Parisian-style brasseries in Montreal. A few dishes are cited as underseasoned, dry, or overly salty, and brunch offerings or certain menu changes have disappointed some guests. Despite these variances, many guests make Brasserie Bernard their go-to spot for celebrations, casual dinners, or after-theatre meals, appreciating the consistently friendly staff and the level of dining room energy. The terrace is highlighted on pleasant days, and the overall experience is described as enjoyable, convivial, and distinctly European in character, even if not every visit hits a perfect note. In short, the venue remains a beloved option for many diners in Montreal, delivering solid food, strong service, and a lively atmosphere with occasional inconsistencies in price, space, or specific dishes.

The French Onion Soup & Italian Beef Tartare were absolutly delicious. I was also really impressed by their wine list so I'll have to be back to try more wine!

One of our favorite restaurants. Feels like you're in Paris. Outstanding, friendly service. I had the seared pickerel & my wife the steak-frites, finished with profiteroles. Delicious!

Les moules étaient bonnes mais sans plus, le fish n' ship n'avait aucun sel ni aucune saveur, les prix super élevés ne reflètent pas la nourriture. Seulement la crème brûlée était vraiment bonne. Les frites imbibées d'huile & pas bonnes. C'était cher & pas a la hauteur.

Une expérience unique.
L'accueil, le service, les plats, tous étaient parfaits.
Mention honorable au burger, juste wow.
Un steak smash accompagné de cheddar fondant, onctueux, sublimé d'une sauce secrète juste inoubliable. Je pèse mes mots.
Ce fabuleux burger venait épouser mes papilles avec tendresse, amour & légèreté.
Dès la première bouchée, on sent le savoir-faire & l'expérience des cuisiniers, auxquels j'adresse tout mon respect & ma compassion. Leur travail est réalisé avec une précision presque chirurgicale.
À tester absolument !

The food & atmosphere are great but the stand out factor is the incredible service. Cedric went above & beyond to make sure we had a great time & boy does he know his wine. Will definitely be going back

Disons que ce n'est plus ce que c'était à la BB : le tartare de saumon classique était peu goûteux & les frites étaient tièdes & caoutchouteuses. À leur décharge, ils les ont changé quand on leur a dit. & la serveuse était peut-être nouvelle mais elle manquait clairement d'expérience & ce n'était pas une étudiante. L'endroit est toujours aussi beau par contre & c'est ce qui sauve la situation.
