My friend, daughter, & I had a fabulous time at Brasserie Bernard. This spot is our go-to bistro every time we visit Montreal. We ordered from the table d'hôte, & each dish, from the soup to dessert, was delicious & perfectly suited to the cold, rainy day we were there. The food was superb, the service was gracious, & the ambience offered that expected old-world charm-warm & truly welcoming.

Le restaurant est d'une immense beauté & doté d'une belle ambiance, où est-ce qu'on peut tout de même se parler & s'entendre. Les plats sont fins & bien exécutés & le service est attentionné & chaleureux. Excellente expérience.

Nous étions 4 à aller souper là bas le 8 octobre. Somme toute belle expérience. Nous avons adoré la mousse de chèvre en entrée, mais il manquait de croûtons pour l'accompagner. Nous n'avons malheureusement pas aimé la salade de betteraves. Elle ne contenait qu'environ 6 petits morceaux de betteraves & 5-6 noix. Tres bons repas pour les 4 personnes, mais encore une foid, pour les tartarres, un crouton n'est pas suffisant. Il manque un peu de biere en fut à mon gout

La nourriture était excellente, malheureusement le service n'était pas au rendez-vous, plat principal est arrivé quelque minutes après les entrées que nous venions à peine de commencer, nous attendions après nos commandes de vin. Les verres arrivaient au milieu des repas. Cependant, les serveurs étaient extrêmement gentils & polis.

Le menu de vendredi était le même que celui de mercredi. Mais les portions de turbot étaient plus généreuses le mercredi…..

First off it's a really beautiful place & the food is ok. Def overpriced though. $25 for an octopus carpaccio which was so so & cooked (not raw). $36 for their main sized tartare which is the same size as an appetizer portion anywhere else. I had the salmon tartare & bf had the beef & honestly it was just ok not more. We had the desserts & they were just ok. We had drinks too & they were pretty expensive. Overall if you wanna take pics it's nice inside but I wouldn't go for the food as you can find better & less expensive elsewhere.

Excellent repas, ambiance décontractée, un peu serré pour certaines tables. Le service a été long cependant, mais le serveur a compensé par une bouteille de vin !
