Très déçus de notre expérience, il faisait extrêmement froid à l'intérieur. Deux chaufferettes étaient disponibles & aucune n'a jamais été allumée, malgré plusieurs demandes au personnel.
Nous avons aussi demandé à plusieurs reprises d'être placés sur les banquettes au fond, plus confortables & à l'abri du froid. Refus sous prétexte que nous étions un groupe de 4 & que ce n'était'pas assez'. Pourtant, au moins trois autres groupes de 4 ont été installés à ces mêmes places pendant notre présence sans réservation. En plus de l'inconfort, le service était lent & froid, ce qui n'a rien arrangé à l'expérience globale. Bref, ambiance froide au sens propre comme au figuré.

I'm sure this place is great, however on their site it is promoted as opening at 9am to show the full slate of premier league games. Unfortunately we arrived at 9am & were turned away. I suggest removing that from your page. We did also call twice in advance to no answer.

I was recently at a trivia event (Quiz Master Brian) & ordered the Croque Madame afterwards. It was absolutely sensational & reminded me of the last meal I enjoyed there a few weeks earlier, the Tikka Masala. This in turn reminded me of the'Big Salad' dish I had a few months earlier, also fantastic. I'm not sure if this place is known for its food, but it should be! The chefs & bartenders (especially Jessica) are incredible. It's no wonder why Burgundy Lion is always busy!

The best pub vibes in Montreal. The new menu is a big improvement. Adding some more shareable plates like nachos & vegetables & dip would be HUGE.

A British pub in Montreal with a warm & convivial environment. They have a classic menu & a great variety of drinks, with my favorite being their Pimm's.

I recently had a wonderful afternoon tea experience at Burgundy Lion. If you are looking for a relaxing spot to chat & enjoy some great treats, this is a fantastic choice.
The Atmosphere
We sat on the second floor, which is beautifully decorated like a greenhouse. With the glass roof & plenty of lush green leaves, the vibe was perfect for a long catch-up with friends. It felt bright, airy, & very cozy.
The Food & Drink
• Tea Service: Each person gets their own pot of tea, & the best part is that refills are free! The tea quality was excellent.
• Three-Tiered Tray: The presentation was lovely. We received three trays of pastries including:
• Top Tier: Macarons, canelés, & bite-sized chocolate treats.
• Middle Tier: Warm scones served with cream, jam, & butter.
• Bottom Tier: A variety of fresh finger sandwiches on different types of bread.
• Taste: Everything was very delicious & tasted fresh.
Value
The price was $60 per person, which included tax & required no extra tips. Given the quality of the food, the unlimited tea, & the beautiful setting, it felt like a very fair price for the experience.
Final Verdict: Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality afternoon tea with a unique greenhouse atmosphere!

Love the Lion - been coming here for a couple years now. Premier League games, pub trivia (shoutout to Brian), great whiskey, some forgotten beers - they got it all. The staff at the Lion are lovely people - kind, nice, & always willing to help.
