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.

I have been going to Café Cherrier for over 20 years & have always loved it.
I do realize that all restaurants are trying to recoup lost profits & are posting higher prices, but I find the value & quality that were always part of Café Cherrier are not there at the moment. My wife & I both love the fausse-coque, especially in the summer months. Was it outstanding, sadly NO. There was very little hollandaise sauce, a slight dribble over the top, at best. One egg was cooked just right & the other egg was overcooked. There was a skimpy portion of potatoes. For $65 I expect much better. We have been twice in the last month & will wait before we come back.

It's a classic French bistro with a great atmosphere. A little pricey but nice.
