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.

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.

Very nice pub in the area. Great atmosphere & staff were great. I would say try & go during happy hour as drink prices rack up, especially when you see the bill at the end.

Food wise, excellent. The bangers & mash were very filling & seasoned sausages were great.

I have been to this pub countless times from brunch (during Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's wedding event), to lunch, to dinner & for drinks. Therefore, this spot is one of my favorite place. Throughout the years some staffs were amazing & some average. Foods & drinks are always awesome. The atmosphere is always vibrant.

I'm a huge fan of the'bartender network.' After a drink elsewhere, we showed them our path back to'home' & they said... Try the Burgandy Lion. If I was here for more days I would come back just for the scotch & whiskey collection.

The staff have been amazingly snarky, sweet & fun. Honestly I feel like I found my people for at least a moment.

The Quebec, Cirka old fashion was great & I really wish I had a big enough liver to do 20 more with all the different options.

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.
