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.

Stopped here for dinner after a show at the corona theatre. I'm always wary of ordering fish & chips somewhere since a lot of places in the city really don't know how to make it well, & I get served a soggy mess with flavourless batter. This place, though? Easily some of the best fish & chips you'll find in the city. Crispy batter down to the last bite & delicious chips. It's well out of my area so I'm not sure when I'll be back, but if I'm in the area I'm absolutely going back for those fish & chips!

2025 edit:

Today I came for brunch! My first visit back from my initial review. Though the fish & chips were on the brunch menu & very tempting, I wanted something a little lighter in the morning & chose the shakshouka instead.

The poached eggs were absolutely perfect, runny like I like them. The cumin yogurt made the entire dish so creamy & delicious once you mixed it all together. The roasted garlic was so soft & spreading it on the sourdough toast & dipping it into the dish lead to a pefect bite each time. I only wish the dish had a little bit more heat, since shakshouka I've had other places has a bit of kick.

I do wish I lived closer so I could try more of the food. I'd love to try the full English breakfast. Hopefully I can return sooner than later!

Been going to burgundy lion for years. Music was too loud. Staff was friendly. It was too loud music to chat…left after a drink. Still a great spot though.

Food was just OK, although special mention on the fries which were very good. Place is super loud - very difficult to have any sort of conversation - louder than a typical pub style restaurant.

We hosted a birthday party there (50 people) & everyone loved the place!! They have a beautiful private space. The food was great & the staff is friendly. I got the mac & cheese & it was so good! Would definitely recommend Burgundy Lion!

Great food at a reasonable price. Excellent service despite it being very busy that night. Cheery atmosphere, just like a pub should have. Will be back
