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.
Went here for the first time based on a recommendation & very glad we did! Coming from Toronto we wanted to try to support some local restaurants, especially during Covid times!
Wait staff & greeter were very friendly & the food tasted great, I had the Manchester Curry with Shrimp & my friend had the burger. The Sticky toffee pudding will not disappoint either!
I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the neighborhood!
Ever since we first went to the Burgundy Lion two years ago - a lunch while we discussed whether or not to make an offer on a fantastic condo a few blocks away - we've loved the place. This time, two days before the second lockdown of the year, the service was efficient & kind, the (comfort) food excellent & & the beer, a Boddington's cream ale, something new we tried because they 'd run out of Newcastle & (understandably) weren't getting a new keg right away, really good. I'll continue to order take-out & definitely, we'll be back once it reopens.
We thoroughly enjoyed the great Brit fare at Burgundy Lion, our first visit. Hopefully, we will return before too long. The place looks like & authentic British pub, warm & cozy. The food: we had brunch plates, eggs benedict for me & a corned beef with potatoes thingy for my wife. We added a Scotch egg for us to share, since that's how I found the BL on the web, searching for Scotch egg. Everything was as good as we could have expected, &, in truth, better yet. There were little touches in the preparation which said to me - we've got a gourmet chef back there! So, highest ratings for the food & the service was just as good. As a teacher (retired), I automatically tend to give a rating or mark to what's presented to me, & I hate to give extravagant, unrealistic scores, like 98 or 100 percent. How about a 99? We'll be back, Covid permitting!

Went with friends for high tea yesterday. The room was beautiful & so was the food. We did the all you can drinking mimosa option & our waitress was amazing. Super friendly & made the day great!
Très agréable ( comme d'habitude) la bouffe est délicieuse & le service est excellent!! super endroit pour les fans de foot- ambiance électrisante...
Pandémie obligeant, les tables sont plus espacées ce qui rend l'expérience plus agréable car usuellement, c'est très « tassé «
First time in a restaurant since the winter.Everything was perfect.The covid19 restrictions were respected yet,the atmosphere was relaxed,the service & the food were perfect.Well done!!
Will definitely go back & will recommend it to friends.Good luck with the reopening.
