Le Lion de Bourgogne n'est pas un pub « traditionnel » selon les standards montréalais, ni britanniques. Nous cherchons à présenter un produit supérieur aux autres pubs établis, côté nourriture, service, et ambiance. Le Lion de Bourgogne offre une sélection impressionnante de whiskeys et de bières, ainsi qu'une carte de vins et de cocktails modernes.
Les avis convergent sur une ambiance pub britannique chaleureuse et authentique au coeur de Montréal, avec une carte qui mêle classiques britanniques revisités et plats réconfortants comme fish and chips, Scotch egg, pâté en croûte, le tout accompagné d'une riche sélection de bières et de whiskies. Le service est majoritairement apprécié pour son accueil chaleureux et son professionnalisme, parfois réhaussé par l'effervescence des soirs où la musique peut être trop forte et les temps d'attente plus longs. La carte et les portions font l'unanimité, avec des mentions élogieuses pour des plats comme le fish and chips et les pies, tandis que certains trouvent que certains plats végétariens ou du quotidien manquent de saveur ou de chaleur. Les événements privés ou les soirées quiz et matches de sport créent une ambiance conviviale et renforcent le sentiment de communauté; d'autres retours pointent des espaces bruyants et un service qui peut se laisser dépasser. Dans l'ensemble, Burgundy Lion est perçu comme une référence montréalaise pour une expérience pub anglaise authentique, avec une offre variée de nourriture et de boissons et un esprit chaleureux autour des rencontres et du sport.
Fantastic experience at Burgundy Lion! The fish & chips were absolutely spot on crispy batter, flaky fish, & perfect chips. What really made the visit stand out, though, was our waitress. She was super fast, incredibly friendly, & didn't miss a beat. Easily one of the best English pub experiences I've had in a while. Highly recommended!!
This place is a classic. The food has definitely changed over the years, but you can't go wrong with a burger or fish & chips. Also the bangers & mash are so good. The staff is great too & the vibes are awesome.

A British style pub in the heart of Montreal's Little Burgundy neighborhood, with a various assortment of whiskeys & beers along with classic British dishes such as bangers & mash & a classic British Fish & Chips I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed.
Pub Burgundy Lion is a true gem in the heart of Little Burgundy, offering a perfect blend of traditional British pub charm & Montreal's vibrant personality. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere with dark wood interiors, vintage decor, & a lively yet relaxed crowd. It feels both familiar & unique-like stepping into a classic pub with a twist.
The food is consistently excellent, with comforting British staples like fish & chips, shepherd's pie, & a proper Sunday roast. Everything is made with care, & portions are generous. It's the kind of place where you'll want to try everything on the menu over time. The staff is friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable-especially when it comes to drinks.
Speaking of drinks, the whisky selection is exceptional-one of the largest in Quebec. Whether you're a casual sipper or a connoisseur, there's something to discover. Their beer list is also solid, with local & international options that complement the hearty menu.
What really sets Burgundy Lion apart is its community feel. From quiz nights & sporting events to afternoon tea service & whisky tastings, there's always something happening. It's a place where locals & visitors feel equally at home.
In short, Burgundy Lion isn't just a pub-it's an experience. Delicious food, great drinks, & a welcoming vibe make it one of Montreal's most beloved spots.

We had to wait exceptionally long for service from the waitress. Fish & chips were as good as expected, the fries were excellent. The music too loud & not a choice that mirrors the British vibe.
À chaque fois que je vais au Pub Burgundy Lion, je prends les Fish & Chips & le Sticky Toffee Pudding. C'est une tradition que je partage avec ma soeur aînée. Impossible d'essayer un autre mets. Burgundy Lion, ne changez pas les recettes! On adore!
The best fish & chips this side of the Atlantic!
This English-style pub nails it. The fish was golden, crispy, & flaky on the inside-absolutely perfect. The chips were thick-cut & perfectly seasoned, & the house tartare sauce took it all to the next level.
The beer selection is just as impressive: plenty of local brews & classic English pints on tap, poured just right. The pub has that cozy, authentic feel-dim lighting, dark wood, & the hum of good conversation.
If you're craving proper fish & chips with a cold pint in hand, this is the place. Can't wait to go back!
Nous étions 4, le fish & chips étaient extra. Les gnocchis au porc effiloché étaient délicieuses. Bravo, ce fut une belle expérience. J'ai apprécié que la jeune hôtesse nous parle en français.
Stopped here for dinner after a show at the corona theatre. I'm always wary of ordering fish & chips somewhere since a lot of places in the city really don't know how to make it well, & I get served a soggy mess with flavourless batter. This place, though? Easily some of the best fish & chips you'll find in the city. Crispy batter down to the last bite & delicious chips. It's well out of my area so I'm not sure when I'll be back, but if I'm in the area I'm absolutely going back for those fish & chips!
2025 edit:
Today I came for brunch! My first visit back from my initial review. Though the fish & chips were on the brunch menu & very tempting, I wanted something a little lighter in the morning & chose the shakshouka instead.
The poached eggs were absolutely perfect, runny like I like them. The cumin yogurt made the entire dish so creamy & delicious once you mixed it all together. The roasted garlic was so soft & spreading it on the sourdough toast & dipping it into the dish lead to a pefect bite each time. I only wish the dish had a little bit more heat, since shakshouka I've had other places has a bit of kick.
I do wish I lived closer so I could try more of the food. I'd love to try the full English breakfast. Hopefully I can return sooner than later!

Summary: Awesome, Trivia Night is so worth it, & order the Lancashire Hot Pot if you LIKE bland English cuisine.
Gorgeous pub! It's 3 floors high & the ambiance is very nice. We went for Trivia Night Monday & our host was Sarah- super charismatic & overall challenging & fun questions! Our waitress was also very sweet & she tried to be as timely despite being a busy night. Food came quick after ordering.
My friends (x3) & I ordered: Gnocchi, Burger, Fish N' Chips, & the Hot Pot.
The gnocchi & burger were reported to be very delicious. The fish n' chips were kinda small for the price.
My hot pot… was Very Bland. Granted, I'm not English or White. But I encouraged my White friends (who happen to be of English descent) to try a few bites. Even they were saying it was bland- that's with me adding boatloads of salt & pepper too. The salad that comes with it is also some basic Italian (North American style) dressing & it's… just so meh for $32. Oh well!
We had a great time :) Will be returning to try other dishes & down a pint of Murphy's.
I LOVE this place. Such a classic cozy'calm night' that can always turn rowdy. Always a great crowd & service. Very classic English pub, menu & taps included. I always get the Fish & Chips, this time geared toward the Leek & Chicken pie. YUM!! Wish I got the classic greasy fries though, but the mash was ok. Spaghetti was also unreal. Breakfast is always 10/10 too
