Service was very slow. We were a party of 6 everyone except 1 guest received the main dish, we had to wait 10 min for our guest to finally receive the meal which was a salad. Appetizers are very small. Atmosphere was great since Bernard street was closed, only pedestrians.

Had a wonderful evening Saturday at BB. I agree with other reviewers who say they feel they've stepped into a real Parisian establishment. You do feel you are entering another world & time. It is both an exciting & relaxing experience.

I was with 6 friends & it was the first time for all of us. Everyone was very satisfied & happy with their meals. I had the Dore (fish lightly fried in pan) & it was prepared well. I think they could be a bit more generous with the celeriac puree; green beans were perfectly cooked. Very nice if you want a very light meal. Others at the table had the duck confit; chicken; a salad; mussels & steak frites. I think the steak was the winner. The fries looked just like the photos on google reviews site so if you like your fries dark (indicating over cooked or reused oil) then you might forgo all dishes with fries or ask for a salad I would have wanted to order the fish & chips but was worried about the fries so that's why I didn't. However those who did have the fries ate them all up with no complaints.

They were generous with the time. We arrived at 5 pm & told us we had the table until 9 pm! We had tickets to concert across the street so only stayed until about 7:30 but that was nice to have no pressure.

Wait staff are all very nice, attentive & efficient. One of the best services I've had. I would say second only to Mon Lapin. One thing I felt the plate server put the dishes very close to the edge of the table so that each time part of the plate was sitting beyond the table. To be fair I think the tables are too narrow so it's hard if you have a lot of drinks/glasses to fit the plates. But I did notice it & was a bit disturbed by it.

It would be nice if they provided a basket of bread. They don't do that automatically but I saw another table get it. So don't know if they forgot about it or you have to request & pay. For instance the person with the mussels could have used the bread to sop up some of that nice sauce.

But they have cloth napkins which is so nice & luxurious.

BTW the person who ordered the Mussels wanted the marinara & got the leek & cheese. She didn't want to send it back & still enjoyed it.

All the desserts looked great. The Pavlova looked like a piece of art. I had the Profiteroles & they were tasty. Nice chocolate sauce with ice cream. Very generous portion. One person said her creme brulee wasn't warm but the other person who had it said it was fine.

The decaf coffee was so so. They don't provide cream/sugar so you have to ask. People who had the house wine enjoyed it.

Washrooms are nice (individual rooms) with hot water! So often nowadays you only get cold water.

All in all there are a lot of nice touches at BB. BB haven't sacrificed service or quality (with a few minor caveats) like so many restaurants have done these days. It's a relief to know restaurants of this calibre are still around.

Service & atmosphere was excellent. Salads were not good. Main dishes were ok.

L'équilibre entre le prix, la valeur & la quantité est déséquilibré. 40$ pour 12 huitres miniatures (2.5cm). 36$ pour chaque tartare (boeuf & saumon), gout ordinaire mais sans plus. Les portions de tartare repas sont ce que je retrouve ailleurs pour une grandeur de tartare en entrée. Les frites, bien réussi, bravo. La vinaigrette des salades étaient ordinaire & fade. Mon opinion est qu'il y a de bien meilleurs options pour une expérience plus positive de brasserie française à Montréal.

Première expérience pour nous...quelle ambiance accueillante! La.nourriture est excellente. Avons partagé une salade endives/betteraves. Plats principaux: pavé de boudin & fish & chips. Portions généreuses. Tous les.gens qui y travaillent sont vraiment agréables & souriants. Très avenants. À recommander au plus haut point.

Our first time at Brasserie Bernard. Very busy (a good sign!), vibrant & beautiful restaurant. Our food was good (oysters, French onion soup & steak & frites were delicious, the burrata salad less so). Recommended wine pairings were great. Service was excellent & very friendly. Really enjoyed the experience!

Nous avons réservé pour 2 personnes avant d'aller voir un spectacle au Théatre Outremont. Nous avons passé un très bon moment; le service était très bon, l'ambiance aussi & la salade d'endive était délicieuse!

Les prix sont maintenant devenus exorbitants , un tartare de saumon à 36$ vraiment ?? La tite salade ridicule en extra 8$ 🤣 Vous êtes fous . J'ai pris une simple soupe à l'oignon format entrée (18$ c'est ridicule ) dont le bouillon était étonnant sucré. Les
bobos d'Outremont, trouvent ça normal j'imagine ces prix dérisoires car le
resto était plein !! Un seul choix de
menu végétarien …. Des pâtes encore!

Belle ambiance mais cette brasserie est largement overrated! Service très lent. Une demi heure pour avoir nos cocktails. Prochaine fois nous irons ailleurs
