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.
Great atmosphere & place. Food was fine, nothing amazing but decent. I had the fried chicken. The scotch eggs looked very good however & I'm not sure where else you can even buy one!
LE pub anglais de Montréal 👌 Par dessus tout le pub des supporters d'Arsenal 😍 Chaque gunner qui passe par MTL doit venir regarder un match ici, ambiance garantie ! Le service est impeccable, le personnel est très gentil & sympathique 🤝 Bref je recommande à tout amateur de football & de bières COYG!

Good British posh pub vibes ! it serves the classic pub comforting food but expensive I tried the bangers & mash with gravy It was tasteful & filling The fish&chips was good, crispy batter & chips. The sticky toffee pudding was a large warm & sweet cake, wish I had a bigger piece of ice cream on top to go with it. Great choice of draft beer too
Enseigne toujours aussi populaire. ----- Belle découverte, établissement très sympathique. Service impeccable & personnel souriant (& qui parle français) Assiettes copieuses. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.
Super ambiance pour ma pars une première fois a l'intérieur pour une fête au 3e étage avec la verrière,la salle a l'Étage,nous avons pus êtres une groupe de 30 personnes avec une table pour recevoir des bouchées & par la suite prendrent places a la table,le service était très bien.La souper a l'oignon chaude & délicieuse ainsi que le dessert le Cake avec coulis sucré salé.
I've been here so many times & every time it's great. On my last visit, I emailed & asked if they could show a football game, it wasn't a premier league game, so it wasn't clear if it would be shown, but we decided to go anyway. It turned out it was available, but there was also a main game (liverpool vs man u) so I did't really expect to see the might Peterborough United in the Bristol Street Motors final... HOWEVER... when we arrived, we were told that we had an area at the back, so we pretty much had a private showing... ordered food (scotch eggs... so good. Fish & Chips... so good) & my team won. Staff are always amazing. Service is always great. love this place.
I recently visited the Burgundy Lyon pub in Montreal & had a mixed experience. -The French onion soup was unusual, with a tomato base & cheddar cheese, which was an unexpected twist on a classic. -However, the service was good, & the staff were friendly & attentive. -The atmosphere of the place is also quite enjoyable. /On the downside, the fish & chips were disappointing as the fish came unsalted, which affected the overall flavor & the batter was quite thick. Overall, it was an okay visit, but there's room for improvement in the food department.
Oh boy, was this a pleasant surprise. Unassuming from the outside, but it delivers. Food was delicious & plentiful. Speaking of plentiful, I have not seen such a wide array of Scotch outside of Scotland. Scotch comes with a water dropper, such an easily overlooked but extremely important detail. Would go out of my way to come back.

Food is alright, but not great. Location amd atmosphere is fantastic. Service is alright as well, but they're busy & don't go out of their way for you either.
Cozy place, nice atmosphere, but a bit too loud if you would like to catch up with your friends. We had to shout over the table to hear each other 😅 Great & friendly staff, super customer-oriented service. Seems like a wonderful place for smaller groups (under 3), & good for drinks & popular tunes in the background.
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.
