Burgundy Lion is not a traditional pub by Montreal or UK standards. We provide a higher quality product in food, drink, service, and ambiance than other established pubs. Burgundy Lion is armed with an impressive selection of traditional whiskeys and beers, as well as a modern cocktail and wine list.
Across reviews, Burgundy Lion is described as a warm, authentic British pub in Montreal with a lively ambiance, friendly and attentive staff, and a strong whiskey and beer selection, along with crowd pleasing staples like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and generous portions. The venue shines for sports nights, trivia, private events, and afternoon tea, drawing regulars who value a welcoming vibe and good value, though some experiences note occasional noise, crowded spaces, and uneven execution in dishes such as soggy fries, mediocre poutine, or cold dining areas. All in all the reviews portray a beloved local institution where quality drinks, solid pub fare, and a friendly community feel exist alongside occasional service delays and menu inconsistencies.
we went out for the pub quiz, & it was lots of fun. great variety of categories, & enthusiastic hosting. Service was friendly & accurate (though a bit slow, especially early in the evening- it was really busy!) & the food was great pub fare. all in all, a really great evening.
Burgundy Lion is as good as it gets in every aspect of a well done establishment. The staff on & off site are very accommodating in terms of the reservation or group table booking process. The atmosphere is perfect for an energetic night out with your best people where you can also experience a luxurious, more dim-lighted sit down type of evening as well. This Pub sets the bar high in terms of the food & drinks. The quality of food you'll receive upon ordering off their signature pub-style dish menu is exceptionally good & very tasty. As well as an amazing drink selection where each is made to meet superior standards in both presentation & quality. All served to you with a smile by very friendly & competent staff. Burgundy Lion is fitting for whatever type of night you intend for, providing the best of vibes & always delivering on quality.

Bel endroit, propre & accueillant, un peu bruyant mais ne m'empêchera pas d'y retourner. Le service était courtois & quand même rapide pour un groupe de 11 personnes.
Les suggestions repas & boissons de la serveuse étaient parfaits.
Je recommande ce resto/pu
Great English style Pub. We travel from the North Shore to go there & it's worth every minute of the travel time. Good food, great service & wonderful ambience. Easier than going to London, UK, just as good.
Great Pub experience, the manager makes sure everything is running smoothly. He takes good care of the customers & also his staff & it shows. Cant wait to be back.
More like a hipster hangout than a pub. It felt like I needed a liberal arts degree, crushing personal debt & a sleeve tattoo to fit in.
The food was good but the music was very loud for a mid-afternoon meal. Overall, not bad but I am in no hurry to go back.
We thoroughly enjoyed the great Brit fare at Burgundy Lion, our first visit. Hopefully, we will return before too long. The place looks like & authentic British pub, warm & cozy. The food: we had brunch plates, eggs benedict for me & a corned beef with potatoes thingy for my wife. We added a Scotch egg for us to share, since that's how I found the BL on the web, searching for Scotch egg. Everything was as good as we could have expected, &, in truth, better yet. There were little touches in the preparation which said to me - we've got a gourmet chef back there! So, highest ratings for the food & the service was just as good. As a teacher (retired), I automatically tend to give a rating or mark to what's presented to me, & I hate to give extravagant, unrealistic scores, like 98 or 100 percent. How about a 99? We'll be back, Covid permitting!

Very good respect of COVID-19 rules. Pleasant staff. We are fish & vegetarian dishes which were fresh, hot & very tasty. The terrace put front is noisy cuz of the traffic, so we sat in the inner courtyard area. I like this pub's ambiance.
Burgundy lion is one of the best watering holes in the city. Great drink selection, pub food & ambiance. They have done a great job modifying their restaurant to comply with the covid regulations. Anyone needing a cool place to have a drink or grab a bit please stop by the Lion
Resto pub parfaite pour les grandes ou petite occasion! Les accras de morrue & le fish & ship est fortement recommandé. Par contre lorsque la place est rempli le service peut-être un peu long!
