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
Ma conjointe & moi avons décidé de réserver pour fêter le début des vacances de Noël dans un restaurant de notre quartier la Brasserie Bernard. Malheureusement, nous avons été très déçus par un service froid & impersonnel. La qualité des produits & leur préparation - salade sans goût, pâtes trempées d'eau, etc. - laisse à désirer. Ce restaurant, que nous avions apprécié dans le passé, n'est clairement plus le même.
Je dois dire toute ma déception face au nouveau menu & à la nourriture servie dans ce restaurant que j'aimais tant. Deux visites en décembre 2024 & le verdict se confirme : les plats sont insipides & nettement en bas des standards habituels. Nouveau chef? Nouvelle direction? Je vais prendre une grande pause avant d'y retourner. Dommage, c'était un de mes classiques préférés de Montréal.
Agréable resto type brasserie parisienne. Inégal sur la nourriture. Il nous a fallu retourner une cuisse de canard trop cuite. Pâtes aux champignons décevantes. Un peu sec. Au final , belle soirée .
Went for brunch with a couple of friends. The host was very unwelcoming & did not greet all guests (he should find his true calling & go do that instead). The servers were really nice. Food was underwhelming at best. They haven't been doing brunch for long maybe that was the reason. We were a bit disappointed, we had high hopes.

Cuisine excellente cependant le menu est limité. On limite la quantité de plat disponible mais tout est très bon! Le service est rapide & courtois. Très recommandable !!
My local friend had heard good things about this place so three of us went there to celebrate our birthdays. Fantastic! We knew we were in for a treat when the butter for the delicious bread tasted better than any butter I've ever had! Then we started with oysters & the calamari, both delicious! For mains I had the veal ravioli & my friends had duck & steak. Again we were all transported by the rich flavors! We finished off with dessert & we all loved what we asked for, but the lemon tartlet was our hands-down favorite! Through it all the staff was really attentive (despite every table in the place being occupied), & our French waitress, Salome, was absolutely delightful!
