As a first timer to this restaurant, I was immediately impressed when we were warmly greeted at the door by a perfectly bilingual individual. Our table was being prepared when we arrived & were seated when ready.
We ordered drinks first. I had an Espresso Martini & my husband had IPA ber on tap. Beer is not difficult to serve but a martini should be in a martini glass. Thus was not. Since I am not a big drinker, it was enough, but wow was it small. There was definitely seemed like less than 2oz of liquor. Won't do that again.
We then ordered our mains: a burger for the husband & I had the steak & fries.
Service was pretty quick, considering how busy it was on a Wednesday.
The steak arrived first. It was served with mayo for the fries & a pepper corn sauce for the steak. The steak was delicious. Perfection. Perfectly cooked to med/rare. The only issue I had, was that the fries were greasy & not hot.
According to my husband, the burger was the best one he has ever eaten. His fries were also only luke warm.
For dessert we shared the warm chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream. Wow..how rich.
Service was amazing. When our waiters shift was over, in the middle of our service, he came over, let us know & assured us that we would be well taken care of. Antoine, thank you for everything. You're the best.
Would we go back? For sure.

Malheureusement je dois reviser cette note. Je n'ai jamais reçu un aussi mauvais service.
Mais plus important que tout:
Les moules sentaient la mort sur toute le table
Les raviolis étaient froids
Les steaks goutaient la pourriture (la cuisson était aussi mauvaise mais de tout façon c'était inmangeable)
Vraiment dommage pour un restaurant que j'aimais autant.
Precedent:
Tres bonne nourriture & belle terrasse. Bon service grace aux nombreux serveurs mais surtout grace a Cathy de par sa presence & ses bonnes suggestions!

This was our first time at Brasserie Bernard. It was a great experience overall. The ambiance is very pleasant & the restaurant is roomy so very comfortable for a couple or a larger group. We were there when it was full & we had no problem having a conversation. The service was very friendly & attentive with many people serving you throughout out the night. Finally the food was excellent (the fried calamari & onion soup were great as well as our steaks. A friend said it was one of the best cheeseburgers she ever had). The desserts were lovely (pudding chomeur & lemon tart).
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.
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.

One of our favorite restaurants. Feels like you're in Paris. Outstanding, friendly service. I had the seared pickerel & my wife the steak-frites, finished with profiteroles. Delicious!
Une expérience unique.
L'accueil, le service, les plats, tous étaient parfaits.
Mention honorable au burger, juste wow.
Un steak smash accompagné de cheddar fondant, onctueux, sublimé d'une sauce secrète juste inoubliable. Je pèse mes mots.
Ce fabuleux burger venait épouser mes papilles avec tendresse, amour & légèreté.
Dès la première bouchée, on sent le savoir-faire & l'expérience des cuisiniers, auxquels j'adresse tout mon respect & ma compassion. Leur travail est réalisé avec une précision presque chirurgicale.
À tester absolument !
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!
Le restaurant est très beau! Les drinks étaient très bon, les repas aussi. Le seul petit bémol, j'ai pris le steak frite & tous étaient trop salé. Overall, nous avons aimé notre expérience.

Table for five, welcoming, nice music,service impeccable as usual.You can hear each other talk at the table.The steak, fish & chips, mussels & hamburger were great.The fries are always perfect as well as profiteroles & chômeur dessert🙂Thank you again for a wonderful evening!
I had returned to the restaurant after a wonderful experience last year & was somewhat disappointed with the food. I ordered the same dish - confit de canard - last time it came with delicious disc shaped crispy potatoes that were outstanding & the meat fell off the ones. This time it came with ordinary small roasted potatoes & the meat was dry & not nearly as tasty. Also, the frites that came with my guests steak were overcooked & cold. Most people were eating outside so the interior was a bit empty & less appealing but the service was very good. Overall not nearly as enjoyable as my first visit.
The food is not what it used to be anymore. we had ordered the steak & the beef tartare..it was very basic. not alot of taste. the service was okay .. a little bit of wait for a none busy lunch time.
Typical French bistro, way overpriced for the quality & quantity of the food.
The steak undercooked for a medium rare & VERY chewy, the day special tagliatelle was underseasoned with 2 pieces of lobster cost $46, unimpressed. The full portion of the salmon tartare, while good, seemed like a thinner wider spread half portion, insulting, the endive salad had very little dressing & really pitiful amount of bleu cheese...
By no means bad, but way overpriced & the service saved the day. What's interesting is that a French bistro is supposed to be the opposite, good food, relatively affordable price & bad service

Les huîtres étaient trop petites pour le prix. Les langoustines au beurre blanc étaient trop fades. Le reste était bien : steaks, coq au vin. Soirée du réveillon du jour de l'an avec belle ambiance, service cordial & la carte du soir était disponible, un plus.
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!
We decided to check out Brasserie Bernard as our favourite Maître d', Maude, is now their manager & it certainly didn't disappoint. The oysters were wonderful fresh, the liver pâté was scrumptious & the French bistro classics, steak & frîtes & com au vin were perfect. The place is a bit pricey, like others in Outremont, but you get what you pay for.
I had a delicious meal at Brasserie Bernard last night. My partner & I shared a Boston lettuce salad which was very tasty & was a good size to share. The steak & fries was great, steak was done exactly medium rare. My partner had the veal ravioli dish which was delicious, in a very good sauce. The crème brûlée was perfect as a birthday treat. Zachary our waiter was terrific. He was attentive, knowledgeable in choosing wine & made the evening great. It's a very nice atmosphere & all the staff are very friendly & helpful, starting with the Maître D' Will definitely be back!!
