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.
Fun pub atmosphere. I have been there twice now & will definitely go again. Beer selection is good & I've yet to try something I don't love from the menu. (we've tried the onion soup, scotch egg, fish & chips, cod, & my favourite so far is the shepherd's pie). This year I plan on trying their whiskey tasting & high tea. Staff is fast & friendly.

Always a great experience, traditionally UK pub like atmosphere, service team is always very pleasant & attentive. Good fish & chips, burgers & curry.....well done...see you again soon.
Spending New Year's Eve at the Burgundy Lion was the best. Not only was the food excellent (as always), the service we received from Malika was exceptional. Never hovering, but always there when needed with suggestions & ideas - thank you Malika for making the whole evening memorable. As for the atmosphere - New Years' Eve with a bang!!!!
Le fish & Chips très bon. Le Poulet Tikka Massala est bon mais vraiment pas Épicé. Le service est très bon mais il faut être patient car beaucoup de clients
Great spot for match day, & great British pub vibes! Love the selection of whiskey available & the hearty meals, particularly the fish & chips are a great compliment to it. A must visit if you're into football.
Liked the appetizer , but had to wait hours to order more & they seem to forget about us so we had to leave. the service was not what I expected. I've been in the past but it has changed
A phenomenal British Pub! Good food, good beer, great atmosphere! We did the Private Whisky tasting. The Whisky was amazing, but the experience was made a thousand times more special by Toby. Learning the history behind Whisky & how various distillers work was incredible. Toby's knowledge is vast & his passion is invaluable to the entire experience. If you've been thinking about having a private tasting with an expert guiding you through it; I cannot recommend Burgundy Lion & Toby enough! Thanks for an unforgettable event!
This is the 2nd year in a row we celebrated here! Service was great & waitresses took good care of us. We had a nice space upstairs for our whole team. Food was excellent & drinks were flowing! Thanks again for an awesome time!
Je viens régulièrement pour le brunch Dimanche matin avec mon fils & sa blonde. Là ca faisait un moment que je n'y avais pas été. La nourriture est toujours OK & le service est rapide & courtois, mais j'avais cette impression que les portions servies ont diminués, mais pas les prix..... à revérifier une prochaine fois !

The food was truly terrible. The shepherd's pie was a flavourless, watery, goopy mess. Nothing even close to a rich gravy with chunks of lamb & roasted root vegetables as I'd imagined. More like overboiled turnips & some barely discernible minced lamb swimming in wetness & runny mash floating above it. The burgers are dry & flavourless - clearly not ground in house & not a high quality ground beef with barely any sauce. Will never come back.
A super bar with a huge selection of drinks especially Wiske ! Wonderful warm place to chill at the end of the day ! I loved it ! Staff are friendly & knowledgeable! Thanks to Danielle she was wonderful!
