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.

On voulait faire une exception pour un brunch avec mOn Ami & aller revivre quelques souvenirs de passer à cette place. C'était le deception au niveau qualité prix & produit! Pour un brunch avec demi portion ! On sert même pas ça à un enfant de 6ans! On a commandé des oeufs bénédictines un oeufs sur du pain & qques pommes de terres dans l'assiette.pas de fruits ni verdures! Café non inclut ni le jus!!! C'est du vol !!! Payer le prix pour demi portion sans breuvage !!!!!!!!ma 1ere fois j'ose écrire un commentaire malgré d autres deception !!!!!!!j'ai passé le mot à des proches sans hésitation!!!!!!!nous sommes allés mangé après puisque nous avons eu faim en sortant presque du café! Est ce qu il y a des contrôleurs en restauration !!!!! La serveuse était super bonne & efficace!!!!!
Très bon service mais quantité de nourriture des brunchs à revoir. Crêpes aux fruits = 4 mini crêpes qui font à peine une grande, indiquer tomate avec les oeufs Benedictines alors que c'est 1/6e de tomate, assiette qui paraît très vide visuellement & pas seulement... Vraiment très chiche.
