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.
My coworker & I came here for lunch. It can get busy so make reservation or come before noon. The beers were cold & the food was good. He had the angus burger & I had the Bamger & Mash. It was good but I wouldn't order it the next time. The burger looks amazing though.
The drink selection here is fantastic! I loved the variety of beers & enjoyed the chill jazz music, which paired surprisingly well with the classic English pub interior. The ambience was unique & definitely a highlight of the visit. However, the food & service didn't meet my expectations. The burger was served cold, we had to ask spicy sauce just to add some flavour to meal. With some slight improvement in service this place definitely will become a #1 pub interior Montréal.
Had a great experience. The place isn't cheap, but it's also not trying to be the place across the street. Would like more local beer selection. The food we had was perfect.
My food was cold, not bad altogether, but cold poutine is not the best. The atmosphere was OK, if you're clubbing.. At supper time, 5 people around the table, the music was so loud we had to shout.
I apologize for this long write-up, but unfortunately I have to write a negative review for an establishment that's been at the top of it's game, but has been going steadily downhill :/ I live & work in the neighbourhood & have been going to the pub since it opened; my colleagues & I normally go there for lunch once in a while as well. On my last visit, I went for brunch on a Sunday late morning, with a friend. We reserved in advance. 1) Once seated we were pretty much forgotten by the waitress & had to literally run after her to get served. 2) The pub was showing a game on the TVs (which is great), but there was a group of people on the 2nd floor that were so loud that my friend & I couldnt hear ourselves talk, despite seating inches appart in front of each other & our table was diagonally at the opposite end of the pub where the soccer fans were sitting - other customers (many elderly people) were clearly disturbed by this racket as well - the folks upstairs were literally acting as if they were in a stadium - louder than loud. That being said, when the waitress brought us our food, I asked her if there was some special event going on & pointed out the inconvenience of the excessive noise.. as an answer, I got (with an unwelcoming tone/attitude).. & I quote.. ".. this is how it is here.. this is the pub experience.. you should expect this kind of atmosphere when coming here"; not even a "sorry for the inconvenience".. almost as if to say "you don't like it you can leave" - This was ON A SUNDAY MORNING For the record, I also visit their sister pub, Wolf & Workman, & there is never such atmosphere there; the staff is very warm & welcoming & even if busy, there is never a racket, at least not a ridiculous one like this time at the Lion 3) Last but not least, while the food is quite good, the presentation & portion size of some dishes is totally not worth the money; I ordered eggs benedict with salmon; while the price was within the norm ($24), all I got was a few very tiny slivers of salmon & barely a tablespoon of hollandaise (on english muffin with eggs, of course) & a little bunch of potatoes; no fruit, no effort in presentation, nothing.. it looked like it was just slapped together in a hurry.. This place is becoming less & less desirable & makes us feel less welcome. Once again, my apologies for this long review.. & thanks for having taken the time to read it.
