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. While many guests describe the service as exceptional and friendly, some experiences have been marred by inconsistencies in food quality, noise levels, or service attentiveness during peak hours.

Super expérience au Burgundy Lion ! Ambiance pub britannique authentique, chaleureuse & élégante.

En entrée, un Scotch egg parfaitement croustillant, bien assaisonné, servi avec une sauce riche & savoureuse - un vrai coup de coeur.

En plat principal, un pâté en croûte feuilletée doré à la perfection, avec une sauce crémeuse onctueuse & des légumes bien cuits. Réconfortant, généreux & plein de saveurs.

Service agréable, présentation soignée & qualité au rendez-vous. Une belle découverte pour les amateurs de cuisine britannique traditionnelle revisitée. J'y retourne sans hésiter ! 🍻🇬🇧

Très déçus de notre expérience, il faisait extrêmement froid à l'intérieur. Deux chaufferettes étaient disponibles & aucune n'a jamais été allumée, malgré plusieurs demandes au personnel.
Nous avons aussi demandé à plusieurs reprises d'être placés sur les banquettes au fond, plus confortables & à l'abri du froid. Refus sous prétexte que nous étions un groupe de 4 & que ce n'était'pas assez'. Pourtant, au moins trois autres groupes de 4 ont été installés à ces mêmes places pendant notre présence sans réservation. En plus de l'inconfort, le service était lent & froid, ce qui n'a rien arrangé à l'expérience globale. Bref, ambiance froide au sens propre comme au figuré.

I'm sure this place is great, however on their site it is promoted as opening at 9am to show the full slate of premier league games. Unfortunately we arrived at 9am & were turned away. I suggest removing that from your page. We did also call twice in advance to no answer.

I was recently at a trivia event (Quiz Master Brian) & ordered the Croque Madame afterwards. It was absolutely sensational & reminded me of the last meal I enjoyed there a few weeks earlier, the Tikka Masala. This in turn reminded me of the'Big Salad' dish I had a few months earlier, also fantastic. I'm not sure if this place is known for its food, but it should be! The chefs & bartenders (especially Jessica) are incredible. It's no wonder why Burgundy Lion is always busy!

The best pub vibes in Montreal. The new menu is a big improvement. Adding some more shareable plates like nachos & vegetables & dip would be HUGE.
