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).

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.
