Review Summary

Café Cherrier is widely regarded as a long-standing Montreal institution, cherished by many for its classic French bistro atmosphere, consistently pleasant terrace, and reliable menu offerings like steak frites, onion soup, and brunch staples. While many patrons praise the attentive, professional service and authentic Parisian vibe, experiences remain notably mixed; some diners enjoy excellent, high-quality meals and professional interactions, while others report issues with inconsistent food preparation, occasionally inattentive service, smaller portion sizes, and excessive noise levels. Despite varying opinions on recent value and the occasional unavailability of menu items, the restaurant continues to draw loyal regulars who appreciate its charm, location, and overall experience, even if some believe it faces challenges in maintaining its historical consistency.

The food was extraordinary, perfect in every way, classic French Bistro fare, the steak was to-die-for, sadly the service was very poor, after being seated for 20 minutes we had to get up to find a server, that happened again 5 times over the 2 hour meal. Still didn't take away from the fabulous food.

We really enjoyed the food (awesome meal salads), cocktails, the lovely vine-covered terrace & attentive service. & the prices were reasonable for a mid-range bistro/brasserie.

Premièrement, un bistrot français qui se respecte met des ne sert pas du beurre dans des contenants individuels de plastique, préfère les les serviettes de tissus aux napkins en papier cheap. Le service était ordinaire. L'entrée aux deux saumons vraiment décevante & que dire de la morue. on aurait dit qu'elle avait été congelée-décongelée-recongelée. Un texture immonde! Le tartare de boeuf avait l'allure d'une vulgaire boulette de steak haché. Juste ça, pas de déco, pas de couleurs & tellement fade. C'est une honte que ce resto ait encore pignon sur rue. Il roule sur sa réputation d'autrefois mais la qualité n'est pas au rendez-vous. Super bel emplacement qui j'espère ,accueillera un jour le resto d'un jeune chef innovateur.

A fancy bistro feel but a relaxed & charming service accompanied by a tasty meal. I tried their white pudding sausage, which was excellent.

The food was good, the choice of wine adequate, our server was friendly. Because there was a table of 9 people beside us, the atmosphere was compromised because it became very noisy. But overall as a french Bistro it is very good & I would recommend it.

Seconde visite à ce restaurant en 1 mois.
Cette fois si encore réussite complète pour l'accueil ,le service.
Pour la cuisine une note parfaite pour l'exécution de classiques tels que le cassoulet & le pot au feu qui étaient supérieur à ce que nous avons manger en France au printemps passé.
L'entrée de saumon saumon fumé était divine.

Bravo à toute l'équipe & longue vie a ce bistro sympathique.
