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.
Nous avons passé une magnifique soirée entre copains . Le Fish & chips était décadent & le service impeccable!
Le Burgundy Lion est un classique incontournable qui ne déçoit jamais . Merci !
Nous avons eu un bon service. La qualité de la nourriture n'était cependant pas au rendez-vous. Le steak frites qui nous as été servit était une assiette... brune sans aucune attention à la présentation.
Sinon, les cocktails (LÉO & Martini) était particulièrement généreux en alcool.
Bref, on y retourne pour boire un verre avant d'aller manger ailleurs.

A very nice experience for the high tea service! Recommend to anyone who would like to try!
A beautiful ambiance in a sun-lit room decorated with plants. The teacups are mismatched to give a cute, modern vibe. Both savoury & sweet services are delicious. Excellent service!
Nous avions réservé pour 2 puis finalement étions 3.
Il semble que cela posait problème mais le staff a trouvé une solution avec une belle table donc merci pour l'accueil.
Superbe visite au Burgundy Lion, le lunch fut d'excellente qualité, tout comme l'ambiance & bien sûr le service. Seul point noir, la défaite de mes blues de Chelsea, mais bien sûr Burgundy Lion n'y est pour rien ahah. Bref les 5 étoiles sont amplement méritées.

Very good respect of COVID-19 rules. Pleasant staff. We are fish & vegetarian dishes which were fresh, hot & very tasty. The terrace put front is noisy cuz of the traffic, so we sat in the inner courtyard area. I like this pub's ambiance.
As usual & as it has been for over ten years, The Lion delivers goodness on all fronts. In these weird times it's doing everything necessary to make dining there a safe & fun experience.
Burgundy lion is one of the best watering holes in the city. Great drink selection, pub food & ambiance. They have done a great job modifying their restaurant to comply with the covid regulations. Anyone needing a cool place to have a drink or grab a bit please stop by the Lion
We ate there this morning. We liked the atmosphere, design is not so bad, personnel is very attentive. BUT!
We took sandwiches with cheese & ham, we didn't like it at all: the bread was overcooked in a toaster, & the fried potatoes were also overcooked (almost black!) & very fat! I would never give my guests such a potato, I would be ashamed ...Sorry guys, but this is true.
