Ils ont été accommodants alors que nos amis nous rejoignaient pour un verre avec leur bébé dans sa poussette (un bébé tranquille & charmant, il faut bien le dire). La place était comble, mais jamais nous n'avons senti que nous dérangions.
Nos plats étaient comme nous les souhaitions & je le répète, le service est impeccable chez les Holders.

Une soirée parfaite dans cette brasserie ! Tout était au rendez-vous : des plats excellents, faits maison avec des produits québécois de qualité, une présentation soignée & gourmande. Le lieu est absolument ravissant, chaleureux & plein de charme. Le service a été irréprochable : le maître d'hôtel très professionnel & attentionné, & notre serveur tout simplement parfait ! Nous nous sommes régalés avec un tartare de boeuf, une soupe à l'oignon, une saucisse-purée, une cuisse de canard confite avec sa délicieuse sauce à l'abricot, sans oublier les profiteroles & la crème brûlée pour finir en beauté. Nous recommandons à 1000 %, les yeux fermés !

5.0

We thoroughly enjoyed getting away from tourists & digging into an excellent neighborhood brasserie. The service was friendly & top notch. Everyone made us feel welcome & offered explanations & assistance in making choices when needed. The lamb shank, salmon tartare, & chicken liver mousse were highlights, along with Bernard's Cocktail.

Only note is the menu on the website didn't match the menu in person. Several items were different, though the classics were definitely there.

J'ai adoré mon expérience à la brasserie. La présentation des plats étaient soignées, le goût excellent & le service au-delà de nos attentes. Le petit bémol est le bruit, si vous cherchez un restaurant plutôt tranquille, ce n'est pas l'endroit idéal. Sinon, tout a satisfait nos exigences en tant que clients pour une première expérience.

Comme toujours , un incontournable de la restauration type bistrot français à Montréal, service impeccable, le meilleur tartare de boeuf & que dire des moules ; à des prix qui demeurent raisonnables pour la qualité obtenue contrairement à d'autres bistrots bien connus de la scène culinaire montréalaise qui exagèrent tout simplement!
Longue vie à la brasserie B !

The saddest, wrinkled looking fries ever. Not sure why they even dare to serve this overcooked cardboard to customers. Fries so dry as if they've been left out on the counter too long then reheated. The 2 stars are given coz they gave me a free-of charge on one of the orders.
