Burgundy Lion est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise, offrant une expérience de pub britannique authentique marquée par une ambiance chaleureuse, une impressionnante collection de whiskys et des plats classiques très appréciés comme le fish and chips, le bangers and mash et le thé de l'après-midi. Les visiteurs louent fréquemment le décor accueillant et le dévouement du personnel lors d'événements sportifs ou de réceptions privées. Bien que de nombreux clients qualifient le service d'exceptionnel et attentionné, certaines expériences ont été ternies par des irrégularités dans la qualité des plats, le niveau sonore ou la rapidité du service lors des périodes de forte affluence. Malgré ces bémols occasionnels, l'établissement demeure une destination incontournable pour les habitants et les touristes, apprécié pour son esprit convivial et sa capacité à servir à la fois de repère de quartier et de lieu idéal pour des célébrations mémorables.
First time to burgundy lion, we had great service, the waitress was very nice & very helpful. The drinks & food came quickly.
However…… the food was so salty (we had fish & chips, curry & the burger ) & the curry was inedible , the salt overpowered everything. The fish & chips portions were so small they should rename it to fish sticks & chips. The fish had half decent flavour but for the price we should have definitely gotten another piece as it is not given away. The portion of fries was very small as well.
I went here after many years for a first date; the place was packed, we just ordered two drinks, no food because we had a lot to talk about & the staff let us be, very charming no pressure to order food at all, Non alcoholic Guinness was great.
Very nice pub in the area. Great atmosphere & staff were great. I would say try & go during happy hour as drink prices rack up, especially when you see the bill at the end.
Food wise, excellent. The bangers & mash were very filling & seasoned sausages were great.
I have been to this pub countless times from brunch (during Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's wedding event), to lunch, to dinner & for drinks. Therefore, this spot is one of my favorite place. Throughout the years some staffs were amazing & some average. Foods & drinks are always awesome. The atmosphere is always vibrant.
I'm a huge fan of the'bartender network.' After a drink elsewhere, we showed them our path back to'home' & they said... Try the Burgandy Lion. If I was here for more days I would come back just for the scotch & whiskey collection.
The staff have been amazingly snarky, sweet & fun. Honestly I feel like I found my people for at least a moment.
The Quebec, Cirka old fashion was great & I really wish I had a big enough liver to do 20 more with all the different options.
A British pub in Montreal with a warm & convivial environment. They have a classic menu & a great variety of drinks, with my favorite being their Pimm's.
I recently had a wonderful afternoon tea experience at Burgundy Lion. If you are looking for a relaxing spot to chat & enjoy some great treats, this is a fantastic choice.
The Atmosphere
We sat on the second floor, which is beautifully decorated like a greenhouse. With the glass roof & plenty of lush green leaves, the vibe was perfect for a long catch-up with friends. It felt bright, airy, & very cozy.
The Food & Drink
• Tea Service: Each person gets their own pot of tea, & the best part is that refills are free! The tea quality was excellent.
• Three-Tiered Tray: The presentation was lovely. We received three trays of pastries including:
• Top Tier: Macarons, canelés, & bite-sized chocolate treats.
• Middle Tier: Warm scones served with cream, jam, & butter.
• Bottom Tier: A variety of fresh finger sandwiches on different types of bread.
• Taste: Everything was very delicious & tasted fresh.
Value
The price was $60 per person, which included tax & required no extra tips. Given the quality of the food, the unlimited tea, & the beautiful setting, it felt like a very fair price for the experience.
Final Verdict: Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality afternoon tea with a unique greenhouse atmosphere!
