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.
The Burgundy Lion has been a beloved part of Montreal's community for 17 years, & it's easy to see why. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed by the cozy, lively atmosphere that perfectly blends British pub tradition with Montreal's unique charm.
The food is consistently excellent-comforting classics with a modern twist-& the beverage selection is second to none, featuring a fantastic range of beers, whiskies, & cocktails. Whether you're there for a hearty meal, a casual drink, or to catch a big game, the staff always make you feel like part of the family.
What truly sets The Burgundy Lion apart is its role as a gathering place. For nearly two decades, it has brought people together to celebrate, cheer, & connect over good food & great company. It's more than just a pub-it's a Montreal institution that continues to serve its community with warmth & pride.
Cheers to 17 years of good times & many more to come!

Wow, we were there for a group Whisky tasting...& wow just amazing. Toby is amazing & probably the top Whisky knowledgeable I have meet....& the Whiky...superb cpllecytion
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.
Decided to organize a last minute boys night out with a few whisky enthousiaste friends on a Friday night.
We got a table on the third & last floor of the place. The decor & seat were comfortable. The place, pretty small & packed. You're surrounded by bottles behind locked cabinets & it was interesting to have a look around.
The whisky & scotch selection was very interesting. There were quite a few options we had never tried & some delicious ones. Since that was the main reason for our group going, we were quite pleased.
We went for a 19h reservation as a group of six adult male & I was surprised that we were surrounded by families with young loud children & that the music was so loud that we had a hard time hearing each other unless it was your neighbor right next to you or raised your voice quite a bit. Music was good but definitely didn't need to be that loud considering it's a place you expect people to be sitting & talking. Not dancing.
I had the burgundy burger & the food was blend other then some part of the patty tasted burned. My friend took all different choices, & none of them was raving about there plates. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. Considering that's not why we chose this place though, we didn't mind all that much.
Overall the service was good for a packed house, & the whisky sommelier helpful to help us create different flights to try. So we had a good time catching up & tasting some very interesting sample. If you're a whisky amateur, it's worth the visit.
We had a reservation for a whisky tasting. Having previously done a gin tasting at their sister pub Bishop & Bagg, we had very high expectations. The whisky expert Toby was great, & it was clear he was passionate about his job. I like that there were multiple price points for the tasting, enough of a range to satisfy any whisky fan, from beginners to connoisseurs. Appetizers were tasty. Love that theu were able to accommodate members of our group who are vegan. I only ate the non-vegan appetizers, & standouts were the roast beef, with Yorkshire pudding & peppercorn gravy & the beef tartare. The pork slider was also very good, but would have been great if the bun had been toasted, & the beef slider which was a typical mini-burger. It was a crowded night, so service was a little slow, but food arrived hot & was tasty, & staff was super friendly. Will definitely go back again.
Notre groupe de 16 & moi avons eu un souper & une soirée exceptionnelle au Pub Burgundy Lion!! Vraiment, un endroit super, avec de la bonne bouffe anglaise, des bonnes bières & bons whiskys, une ambiance en soirée parfaite & un des meilleurs services que j'ai reçu depuis longtemps (merci, Simon!). Je recommande!
Superbe pub pour les évènements sportifs. L'atmosphère est super & le décor est vraiment digne d'un Pub Anglais. Le pub offre beaucoup de spécialité anglaise à un prix raisonnable. J'ai grandement apprécié leur Shepherd's Pie qui était bien assaissonné en plus d'être farci d'une bonne viande d'agneau tendre & juteuse. De plus, leur Burgundy Lion Ale (bière maison) est parfaite pour accompagner un plat copieux & un match de foot. Je recommande également cet établissement pour les amateurs de whisky/whiskey/scotch comme moi. Leur carte de whisky est très complète & il y en a pour tous les goûts en plus d'offrir la possibilité de faire une dégustation personnalisée. La carte est bien divisé selon les régions & les pays afin d'être le plus sélectif possible sur son whisky. Un lieu idéal à ne pas manquer pour les matchs de foot.

We had the chance to host our masterclass of whiskys at Burgundy Lion ! It was a huge success, the staff was great, efficient. We had excellent pairing with our tasting. We will defintely come back for other events ! Thanks Toby !
A phenomenal British Pub! Good food, good beer, great atmosphere! We did the Private Whisky tasting. The Whisky was amazing, but the experience was made a thousand times more special by Toby. Learning the history behind Whisky & how various distillers work was incredible. Toby's knowledge is vast & his passion is invaluable to the entire experience. If you've been thinking about having a private tasting with an expert guiding you through it; I cannot recommend Burgundy Lion & Toby enough! Thanks for an unforgettable event!
Always a great time at the Burgandy Lion! I had the pleasure at being at last night's scotch tasting featuring Glenallachie whiskies. Toby Lyle always makes everyone feel welcome, offers fantastic value & a chance to taste some amaaaaaazing whiskies as well as meet distillers & whisky ambassadors. Really so much fun to attend!
