Overall, Café Cherrier emerges as a Montreal institution that consistently delivers classic French bistro fare with generous portions, a warm Parisian vibe, and attentive service. The menu is praised for reliable staples like onion soup, gravlax, onglet de boeuf, gigot d'agneau, ris de veau, and steak tartare, with brunch and desserts such as eggs Benedict and tarte tatin earning frequent compliments, and the terrace is often highlighted as a superb setting for al fresco meals. Prices are considered reasonable for the quality by many, though a few reviews note that they have risen and some call portions or value not ideal at times. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and professional, with staff remembered for their attentiveness, yet some experiences mention slower pacing or occasional missteps in busy rooms or in wine recommendations. The atmosphere is described as convivial, intimate, and often lively, sometimes noisy, but with a consistent level of comfort and charm that keeps diners returning. Taken together, the reviews suggest a dependable, well loved bistro that balances tradition and quality, with room for improvement in noise control and consistency.
Beaucoup de produits congelés.
Le lieu est beau & agréable & le service est bon mais la qualité de la nourriture n'est pas là. & c'est cher pour cette qualité.
L'image "bistrot français" est cute mais ça ne suffit pas.
Très agréable! Excellente cuisine bistro! Terrasse magnifique, service très courtois. Nous avons redécouvert cet endroit & allons le recommander fortement.
I was highly recommended this restaurant for its terrace & french bistro food. I was expecting impeccable plates, but it was quite ordinary, not horrible, but not amazing either. Service was definitely slow at lunch probably due to short staff.

Nous étions quatre amies ravies de retrouver notre bistro favori. La chaleur de l'accueil & le service étaient au rendez-vous. La carte se trouve un peu raccourcie mais offre toujours les classiques de la cuisine de bistro. Les règles sanitaires sont bien appliquées & gages d'un retour de la clientèle habituée à ce lieu de rencontres. Avons passé une très agréable soirée, & sans hésitation : à bientôt !
