Review Summary

Burgundy Lion is widely celebrated as a staple of the Montreal community, offering an authentic British pub experience characterized by its warm atmosphere, extensive whisky collection, and consistently popular dishes like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and high tea. Visitors frequently praise the vibrant, cozy decor and the staff's dedication to hosting lively sporting events and private functions. While many guests describe the service as exceptional and friendly, some experiences have been marred by inconsistencies in food quality, noise levels, or service attentiveness during peak hours. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the establishment remains a go-to destination for locals and tourists alike, appreciated for its welcoming spirit and its ability to function as both a casual neighborhood hangout and a reliable venue for memorable group celebrations.

Came in for lunch & end up not eating.

We were told that it was brunch menu only, the brunch menu was extremely small & limited.

When we tried to order we were told they were out of 2 of the items as well as the breakfast potatoes. If you're going to offer a limited item menu then you really should at least have the entire menu available. We paid for our drinks & left without eating so we could find a restaurant with a full menu.

Great pub with lively atmosphere.
An insane variety of scotch & whisky.
Sad they no longer have Murphy's beer... & no Smithwick's. Wish they had more Irish beer options.
Otherwise food was solid, service pretty good.

Sat at the terrasse with friends & had a great time! I was in the mood for a poutine & theirs scratched my itch, the gravy & blue cheese worked well together. Bangers & mash were top notch with their the homemade sausage!

Great service, too!

Will be back!

We came yesterday for the trivia night & a taste of home. First of all just wanted to say how brilliant the servers were- getting us a table at the last minute & being very personable.
A few notes for the english;
Though described as a pub, its definitely more a restaurant- make a booking!
& don't be a purist- we got served a cider in a guiness glass, so we had a good laugh.

On the food- the sticky toffee desser was excellent, though my minestrone was quite watery & my sisters fish was described as large fish fingers rather than a traditional fish & chips.

Overall, a great experience, would recommend.

First time to burgundy lion, we had great service, the waitress was very nice & very helpful. The drinks & food came quickly.

However…… the food was so salty (we had fish & chips, curry & the burger ) & the curry was inedible , the salt overpowered everything. The fish & chips portions were so small they should rename it to fish sticks & chips. The fish had half decent flavour but for the price we should have definitely gotten another piece as it is not given away. The portion of fries was very small as well.

I went here after many years for a first date; the place was packed, we just ordered two drinks, no food because we had a lot to talk about & the staff let us be, very charming no pressure to order food at all, Non alcoholic Guinness was great.
