About

Burgundy Lion operates as a traditional British pub experience that focuses on authentic comfort food staples and a comprehensive selection of whiskies. The menu centers on classic fare such as crispy beer battered fish and chips served alongside minted mushy peas and tartare sauce. Hearty pies and savory pub snacks define the culinary approach by prioritizing rich flavors and consistent preparation techniques. The interior reflects the aesthetic of a classic London tavern with dark wood accents and leather booths. Patrons find an environment dedicated to the appreciation of malt beverages and imported ales in a focused setting. This establishment maintains a commitment to the fundamental principles of British pub culture by emphasizing quality ingredients and substantial portions. Every element of the service aligns with the traditions of a standard public house.

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.

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.

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.
