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.
This was a wonderful experience. Chosen meals:
Oxfordshire Salad: Fresh greens - Nice & crispy & all the ingredients fresh & bright
Fish & Chips: Fish tasted very fresh; nice & light crispy batter & very good fries...great portion
Salmon Wellington: Fresh from the sea tasting salmon; light & puffy filo dough & a nice side of mushrooms & peas white sauce
Service was excellent & the food service was executed in a time frame that suited our schedule
Quite amazing that after all the trouble the government has imposed upon restaurants, that last night's meal & game were at the usual Class A level at the Burgundy Lion. The best service, excellent food & beverage & great coverage of Canada v. El Salvador. But we are all used to this high level at the Burgundy Lion but it is impressive that it is maintained given the pandemic restrictions.
