Review Summary

Café Cherrier is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal institution, cherished by locals and visitors alike for its authentic French bistro atmosphere, classic menu, and iconic vine-covered terrace. Many patrons frequently return to enjoy consistent favorites like steak frites, onion soup, and brunch, often highlighting the warm, professional service and the restaurant's big-city yet down-to-earth vibe. While the vast majority of experiences reflect a long-standing tradition of excellence and a reliable destination for celebrations or casual gatherings, some guests have noted occasional inconsistencies regarding service speed, noise levels, or fluctuations in food quality and portion sizes. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment remains a beloved landmark that continues to capture the charm of a Parisian café in the heart of the Plateau.

Institution de la rue St Denis. Toujours aussi appréciée. Menu classique qui gagnerait à intégrer 1 ou 2 plats végétariens.

Toujours un bonheur que de retrouver les classiques du Cherrier. Les prix, comme partout, ont bien augmentés. Jean-Pierre est toujours là ! On parle ici d'un grand classique de plus de 30 ans ! Merci pour l'accueil toujours faussement pressé & toujours chaleureux. ''Very french'' diraient nos voisins Américains. On y retourne dès que possible !

Le Cherrier est un classique de Montréal. Comme l'EXpress, c'est un resto "patrimonial". & le service était super sympa!
