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.

La meilleure soupe à l'oignon & le boudin est divin avec un excellent service

Food was very good. Steak frites perfectly cooked, salads good, soups good. Service was definitely spotty. Extremely difficult to get attention, took 30 minutes to order, & waitstaff was relatively rude.

Tous les plats étaient trop salés
La soupe à l'oignon, les raviolis ( le bouillon)
À l'unanimité des 3 personnes à la table

Toujours aussi agréable. Eté comme hiver. La soupe de poisson est parfaite, comme celle qu'on déguste face à la Méditerranée. Le service & impeccable & l'ambiance toujours chaleureuse.

Nous sommes arrêté pour un souper improvisé. Belle surprise! Tout était délicieux & le ceviche de saumon a laissé sa marque. Recommandé!

Ma mère y venait lorsqu'elle était étudiante comme infirmière à l'école de Ste-Jeanne d'Arc, il y a de ça très longtemps. Le Café Cherrier est un des symbole du quartier. il reste constant dans la qualité de son menu & l'ambiance qui y règne. C'est toujours un plaisir d'y passer, à n'importe quel moment de la journée ou de la semaine. Que ce soit pour un apéro, un petit-déjeuner ou un
bon souper entre amis, on est toujours assuré d'y trouver la qualité, un excellent service & une ambiance sans pareil.
Surtout ne changez pas!! ❤?

J'ai commandé une soupe de poisson qui était excellente. Après j'ai pris comme repas principal l'onglet de boeuf medium & j'ai reçu l'onglet bleu. J'ai dis à la serveuse que c'était pas la bonne cuisson & elle est retourné en cuisine pour que le cuisinier cuit plus l'onglet tout en s'excusant . La serveuse est revenu avec le repas & je regarde de nouveau il était encore bleu alors je lui ai dit de le mettre dans un plat & que j'allais le faire cuire chez moi . Déception. A part cela très bon service . Le dessert était excellent. Le resto mérite quand même une bonne note mais pas le cuisinier qui a cuit mon onglet.

Bernard the maitre D was superb....passionate & professional.
French onion soup was a standout & the ribeye a delight to the taste buds.

I recently went to Café Cherrier with one of my good friends, & it turned out to be one of those meals you remember long after. Nestled in the Plateau, the place has that effortlessly elegant French vibe-cozy inside, with a terrace that's perfect for people-watching. We shared a bottle of wine from their excellent selection (French, of course), & every dish we tried felt like a little trip to Paris. The onion soup was rich & comforting, & the steak tartare was spot-on. It's the kind of restaurant where you linger over dessert & conversation, & we did just that.
