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
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.
Excellent!! Vraiment une belle découverte, le service étais parfait, on ne manquait de rien. Ils sont très sympathique, s'assure que nous n manquons de rien & bon choix de menu, le repas était très bon. Je le conseille fortement. Nous y retournerons assurément

First, the ambiance. Big place, usually packed but it still feels warm & just sort of cozy.
Service is impeccable, knowledgeable & friendly.
Cocktails are superb, too. But the real draw is the food! Exquisite! The calmar was top notch & the veal ravioli was the best ravioli I have ever had. Seriously. My friend had the canard confit & exclaimed throughout how delicious it was.
It's worth every penny (if you skip cocktails, it's not that pricey).
Very good night at brasserie Bernard, food was delicious & the ambience is warm & romantic. Had the amazing escargot gratiné, melt in my mouth. & had the canard, amazing flavour profile with the sweet sauce. Great steak & frites. Server was super nice , offered us complimentary mousseline after order confusion. Highly recommend this one! Felt like i was in Paris again.

Went here with my Girlfriend on Valentines day & I have to say I really enjoyed it. The food was amazing although I would've like to have better options for the starters but everything else was amazing. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back!!!
