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.
Lovely restaurant with delicious brunch options & amazing service. Pretty patio seating, but for summer visits, I'm going to opt for the air conditioned room just off the front lobby.

On a été placé.es rapidement mais le délais pour prendre notre commande était un peu long & surtout pas dans l'ordre d'arrivée.. Donc c'est un peu frustrant de voir des personnes arrivées après se faire servir avant. Mais surtout pour le standing un peu class, un pain doré à l'érable à 16$ (c'est du pain, pas un morceau de viande), qui était limite brûlé mais surtout ne goûtait pas l'érable (le'brûlé' l'emportait peut être...) au point que j'ai du demander un peu plus de sirop d'érable, qui m'a été facturé 3.75$, ça, c'est pas classe (meme dans les dinner le pot de sirop est offert avec le sucre & le sel). Plus d'option vegan please, on est à Montréal quand même... La encore, y'a des brunch moins fancy qui ont plus d'options 😉 Pour l'ambiance & la chaleur, un ventilateur pour un peu d'air sur le terrasse serait une bonne idée.
One of the best breakfast/brunch places in Montreal. The omelettes are best I ever had. I also had smoked salmon on bagel another time I was here & it was amazing - very tasty. Everything very fresh. Service is fast & very friendly. I highly recommend this one.
Had brunch at Cafe Cherrier & the experience was great, we had wonderful service from Philippe & our meals & coffee were delicious. The chocolate marquise as dessert was amazing
The place is a classic institution in Montreal & the atmosphere was welcoming & pleasant. Served was festive & enjoyable. Sunday brunch with friends & catching up over grapefruit mimosas & traditional breakfast.Food was good but not wow! I'd definitely go back to try other items.
L'atmosphère baignée de "soft jazz" était très agréable, l'espresso fort honnête & le brunch délicieux. Seul bémol, j'aurais aimé qu'il y ait un peu plus de sauce bénédictine avec les oeufs, car elle était délicieuse.
Merveilleuse expérience de brunch. Le croque monsieur était excellent & le dessert délicieux. Un des rares restaurants qui en servent a Montréal Les portions sont généreuses & le service très amical & courtois.
Le café Cherrier est un de mes restaurants préférés pour le brunch de fin de semaine sur le Plateau. La qualité de la nourriture, l’ambiance décontractée & le service sont toujours au rendez-vous. Il y a plusieurs choix intéressants sur le menu, j’aime beaucoup le croque-monsieur. Je recommande fortement.

Bom e simpático atendimento. O prato de brunch é grande, muito bem servido, com ovos, pães, feijão, bacon, salsicha, frutas e batatas. Há outras opções para compor o prato. O iogurte com frutas é muito bom e também serve para compartilhar. Bom sabor.
