The Holder brothers welcome you to their beautiful Brasserie Bernard for a pleasant evening or a friendly lunch. This place has become a classic on Bernard Street in the beautiful Outremont district; the neighbourhood’s charm contributes greatly to the charm of the restaurant. Try their fine but unpretentious European cuisine, in a warm, elegant and vibrant atmosphere
Overall Brasserie Bernard earns praise for its warm Parisian brasserie vibe, comfortable and spacious setting, attentive and friendly service, and a varied menu that delivers well executed classics such as moules frites, onion soup, ravioli, duck confit and steak frites, with desserts like pavlova and pudding chomeur also mentioned; the ambiance and wine list are frequently highlighted and the place is described as lively yet suitable for couples, groups or special occasions, though a few reviews note noise levels and occasional slower service when busy and a few dishes that lack salt balance or are priced high for the portion; many guests say they would return, recommend Brasserie Bernard, and consider it a top French bistro experience in Montreal
Everything was 100% except for the fact that we were sitting way to close to the table on both sides of my wife & I . I could reach over & take a french fry. Besides that it was great.
Belle découverte, les tagliatelles au canard effiloché, à reprendre. J'ai trouvé la salle plus bruyante que d'habitude, il y avait peut-être plus de clients.
This was our first time at Brasserie Bernard. It was a great experience overall. The ambiance is very pleasant & the restaurant is roomy so very comfortable for a couple or a larger group. We were there when it was full & we had no problem having a conversation. The service was very friendly & attentive with many people serving you throughout out the night. Finally the food was excellent (the fried calamari & onion soup were great as well as our steaks. A friend said it was one of the best cheeseburgers she ever had). The desserts were lovely (pudding chomeur & lemon tart).

It was a nice restaurant with great service, they spoke French but also spoke English! The food was great, between all of us, we got to try many of the dishes which were all great as well! Loved it. Thank you Brasserie Bernard!!
Toujours un plaisir de se retrouver à la Brasserie Bernard. Le menu du jour du mercredi 18 était particulièrement réussi: potage Goddess & morue islandaise avec risotto aux moules. A renouveler.
Très bonne brasserie française classe & elegante. Très bons plats , service attentionné sans être trop présent, bonne viande , bon poisson, très bons desserts .
Great food, friendly service, wonderful ambience. The menu is varied, but not too large. All of the dishes we tried are well-executed, but some are a bit better than others. The poached salmon was my dish & it was very good, but not outstanding. The steak frites was good, but not quite worth the price. The service was friendly, but a tad slow once the dining room filled up. What was outstanding was the ravioli, the duck, the chicken, & the french onion soup. Dessert was also incredible, with my chocolate pear pavlova being among the best things I have ever ordered at a restaurant. Come to this brasserie for a special occasion & with an empty stomach. You will not be disappointed.
Nous étions une tablée de 4 personnes & nous avons été ravis de notre expérience à tous les niveaux.
Le boudin & les pâtes au veau étaient exquis. Nous y retournerons, c'est certain.
