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.

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.

Superbe place. Le service est tellement convivial. L'habit traditionnel d'un serveur bistro parisien est encore au rendez-vous, chic. Une place super'casual' cela dit, alors très confortable. L'onglet de boeuf est succulent. A nice institution dishing out consistence & traditional dishes in a cozy casual atmosphere. Merci!
Note: la soupe aux champignons 🫡

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.
