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.

We really enjoyed the food (awesome meal salads), cocktails, the lovely vine-covered terrace & attentive service. & the prices were reasonable for a mid-range bistro/brasserie.

Y ai amené mon amie pour y célébrer son anniversaire ce midi. Avons toutes les 2 commandé les moules frites. La moitié des moules...la coquille ne s ouvrait pas ou la moule à l intérieur était dans un piteux état. Avec chacune un verre de vin blanc apporté sans qu' on y voit la bouteille...L addition $122. incluant un pourboire de 15 % ....je m étais déjà dit ...c est la dernière fois, mais cette fois çà l est. Une institution qui s' asseoir sur ses lauriers. J ai été malade en rentrant chez moi !!!!!!!

We had my mom's 100th birthday celebration in their private room. ~20 family members from all over. Cindy, our server was lovely, the food excellent, ambiance perfect & support for preparation, including a special menu beyond our expectations. Locking in a private room on a Saturday night in any city is special so the rest was, pardon the pun, gravy.

Nous avons fêté les 100 ans de ma mère dans leur salle privée. Une vingtaine de membres de la famille venus de partout. Cindy, notre serveuse, était adorable, la nourriture excellente, l'ambiance parfaite & l'aide apportée pour la préparation, y compris un menu spécial, a dépassé nos attentes. Réserver une salle privée un samedi soir dans n'importe quelle ville est quelque chose de spécial, donc le reste était, sans jeu de mots, du gâteau.

Terrasse agréable. Vin excellent & viande très bonne.
Apéritif submergé par les glaçons (beaucoup d'eau, aucun goût).
Desserts corrects mais tarte Tatin servie sans boule de glace à la vanille & chantilly !!!

Une confusion dans les viandes,
une cuisson de celles-ci que je peux surpasser à la maison.
Un vin à $33 ($9.75 à la SAQ)
Une belle place sur la terrasse pour les BOBOS.

We did not have a good experience here. The setting is charming & it has an authentic French brasserie feel but the food & service were disappointing. The gravlax salmon was touch & floating in vinegar. Having made & eaten gravlax many times, it was shocking that any real chef would present this & to make matters worse, it was served with bland bun coated in sesame seeds, not unlike a hot dog bun. Horrible. I had to send it back The pasta we ordered was very ordinary. The waitress was not apologetic, helpful or pleasant. All in all extremely disappointing. Cannot wait for L'express to reopen. They know what they're doing.
