Come as a group for a celebration, for an evening with friends, for a romantic dinner or to sit at the bar and watch our team at its best. Enjoy our generous market cuisine to the sound of eclectic music, that will undoubtedly bring back a host of memories. Hope to see you soon!

Ordered the calamari to start. Rubbery & overcooked. Extremely oily. 80% batter, garnished with batter pieces. Just taste like oil.... This actually made me feel icky & couldnt enjoy the main as much as I wanted to.
For mains, we both had the duck. The duck would've been SO GOOD but the whole meal was just over-salted. The sprouts weren't just charcoaled, they were cremated but still hard? The rest was pretty good. Such a shame. We were asked at the end how it was & we were honest & said it was not great & way too salty. The server said she would notify the chef. No effort was made to rectify our experience. Basically an'oh well' which cost us over £100.
Portion size was good
One server was nice & let us taste some wine before ordering some.
Nice aesthetic.
If you are looking for a cozy & warm dinner this is truly the perfect spot. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection seasoned simply but very flavorful. The burrata salad was so delicious & the creme brulee was as to die for.
The owner has the most buttery warm energy & it makes the place so special. We will be back many times more I'm sure.

Couple de touristes arrivé de France depuis quelques heures, nous marchions sur l'avenue Mont Royal lorsque nous avons été interpellés par un membre du personnel.. Nous nous sommes donc laissé tenter & nous nous sommes installés en terrasse pour le dîner. & quel belle surprise, service impeccable & attentionné. Le repas était très bon. Nous sommes finalement revenus une seconde fois quelques jours plus tard avec deux membres de notre entourage qui nous avait rejoint pour le week-end ! & encore une fois tout était top ! Merci
Excellente expérience gastronomique offrant une cuisine du marché délectable! Le service est extraordinaire soutenu par une équipe hyper sympathique qui nous ont offerts des recommandations incroyables. Mention toute spéciale à Guillaume & Francis qui nous ont fait passer une très belle soirée!
Comme je disais, ma meilleure décision de la journée fut de réserver une table au Bungalow!!!
Merci!
We first heard about Bungalow on Mount Royal thanks to the TV show Coup de Food. Clearly, we weren't the only ones - the place was packed! Even so, we were seated almost immediately at a nice table in the center of the restaurant, right in the heart of the action. The staff mentioned that the owners were pleasantly surprised by the surge in clientele following the show's broadcast.
The cuisine is described as inventive, & it truly is. While the summer terrace brings a few more'traditional' menu items (fried calamari, various tartares), we chose the more adventurous side of the menu & were very glad we did.
We started with the octopus appetizer, served over crispy smashed fingerling potatoes with a spiced butter & yuzu sour cream sauce - absolutely amazing. For mains, my wife enjoyed the duck magret, paired beautifully with braised Brussels sprouts, pepper sauce, & cauliflower purée, while I had the dorade royale (Mediterranean sea bream), served with a creamy mushroom & leek risotto in a white wine cream with basil. Both dishes were perfectly executed.
The wines were equally enjoyable: we began with a sparkling Cava, then moved on to a crisp Chablis 2022, Séguinot-Bordet for my wife & a robust Morgon La Chanaise 2023 for me. We ended on a high note, sharing a mousse au chocolat with hazelnut praline that was as indulgent as it was memorable.
The restaurant was lively (yes, a bit noisy), but the food, service, & atmosphere more than made up for it. Overall, an amazing dining experience - inventive cuisine, warm service, & a buzzing ambiance
Food could be better. My calamari was bland (I had to ask for salt & pepper) & the batter was too thick. The squid was soft though. Oysters were yummy (with caviar), very decently priced. Carbonara was quite creamy & tasty, although heavy. I asked our server if the wines by the glass were organic, natural, or biodynamic but he didn't know (& I was under the impression that this place heavily markets'organic, natural, & biodynamic wines' so I was surprised that the server didn't have an idea). He suggested a Grenache/Pinot Noir mixed blend that was medium body & quite easy to drink, & that was nice. Noise level in the restaurant was high; I had to speak loudly with my friend to have a conversation. I'll probably give this place another shot & order other dishes to give them a second chance.
Une année plus tard & le @bungalow.mtl est encore au même niveau qu'à notre dernière visite ✨.
Avoir embarqué dans ma photo annuelle 📸, c'est wow! 😍.
Votre excellente Jessica a fait aussi toute la différence 🙌.
Notre soirée ne pouvait être à un niveau supérieur 🔝.
Le @bungalow.mtl, l'importance du client transparaît vraiment 💯.
Votre nourriture 🍽? égale votre réputation ⭐.

Have been here about 4 times now with my bf ... This place never disappoints ! Incredibly friendly staff & the food is always outstanding ! 10/10 would recommend !
Nous avons mangé en terrasse le soir, l'endroit est très agréable! La nourriture est succulente & le service est vraiment top! Merci à toute l'équipe :) nous reviendrons !!
I've been there a few times & it's always great. I love their tataki tuna salad it's just to die for. The service was so good specially Francis. He is so attentive & friendly. Keep up the good work
En tant qu'habitants du quartier, nous avons découvert Le Bungalow cette semaine avec un premier repas en terrasse… & c'était si bon que nous y sommes retournés le week-end avec des amis ! À chaque fois, l'expérience a été excellente : des plats savoureux, un service attentionné & une terrasse des plus agréables en été. Une belle découverte, un vrai coup de coeur ! Mention spéciale pour le steak frites! Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir & le recommandons vivement à tous les amateurs de cuisine française.
Service parfait, cuisine très bonne, peut être un peu chère.
Mais mon dieu que c'était bruyant… ça a malheureusement complètement entaché toute notre soirée…
Edit : visiblement le restaurateur s'est trompé de client dans sa réponse car il ne s'agit absolument pas de moi. Bien à vous
This is a very good restaurant. Highly recommended!
We didn't have a reservation. However, the owner was very accommodating & got us a table. The food was excellent! Francis, who was our waiter, was very friendly, answered all the questions we had & even charged our phones, while we were enjoying delicious food. Thank you for tge wonderful experience!
