Review Summary

Brasserie Bernard is widely regarded as a quintessential Parisian-style bistro in Montreal, celebrated for its sophisticated atmosphere, elegant decor, and generally consistent French cuisine. Many patrons praise standout dishes such as the duck confit, steak frites, veal ravioli, and fresh oysters, often noting that the warm and professional service enhances the overall experience. While the restaurant is a favorite for special occasions and neighborhood dining, recent feedback indicates some inconsistencies regarding service speed, noise levels, and plate presentation. Additionally, while many appreciate the quality, some diners have expressed concerns regarding pricing, portion sizes, and occasional lapses in food preparation, suggesting that the experience can vary depending on the visit.

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.

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!
