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.

The food was extraordinary, perfect in every way, classic French Bistro fare, the steak was to-die-for, sadly the service was very poor, after being seated for 20 minutes we had to get up to find a server, that happened again 5 times over the 2 hour meal. Still didn't take away from the fabulous food.

I come here every time I visit Montreal. It has the best calf liver I've ever had & an unforgettable atmosphere. One of the best places spend evening with friends.

Nous sommes allés pour un brunch pour la fête des pères (5 personnes). Une personne était assis en dessous de quelque chose qui coulait de l'eau c'était désagréable pour elle. Nous avons commander des crêpes supplémentaires qui aurait dû être deux crêpes avec du sirop mais une crêpe était en fait une moitié & il a fallu les avertir pour recevoir la bonne commande. Une assiette aurait dû avoir du pain baguette & il a fallu les avertir que le pain n'était pas servi. J'avais demandé le pain brun & la pain qui était servi semblait de venir de l'épicerie, industriel & manquait de goût & de qualité. Les serveurs étaient très gentils & attentifs mais l'expérience n'était pas super. Ça faisait plus que 10 ans depuis ma dernière visite & je crois que la qualité a beaucoup diminuer malheureusement. L'assiette de mon garçon était malfacturé mais j'ai rien dit & j'ai payé avec un pourboire de 18%.
