Overall, Café Cherrier emerges as a Montreal institution that consistently delivers classic French bistro fare with generous portions, a warm Parisian vibe, and attentive service. The menu is praised for reliable staples like onion soup, gravlax, onglet de boeuf, gigot d'agneau, ris de veau, and steak tartare, with brunch and desserts such as eggs Benedict and tarte tatin earning frequent compliments, and the terrace is often highlighted as a superb setting for al fresco meals. Prices are considered reasonable for the quality by many, though a few reviews note that they have risen and some call portions or value not ideal at times. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and professional, with staff remembered for their attentiveness, yet some experiences mention slower pacing or occasional missteps in busy rooms or in wine recommendations. The atmosphere is described as convivial, intimate, and often lively, sometimes noisy, but with a consistent level of comfort and charm that keeps diners returning. Taken together, the reviews suggest a dependable, well loved bistro that balances tradition and quality, with room for improvement in noise control and consistency.
Bonjour, j'adore ce restaurant. Peu importe ce que vous prenez au menu, tout est très très bon & le service est impeccable. J'y retourne à chaque fois que nous allons faire des activités dans ce secteur de la ville. Il y a stationnement à proximité.

Good is good. Overpriced. Service is not so friendly. Toilet area right in front of kitchen… literally you walk out of the toilet & can enter kitchen. Odd.
The food was amazing, perfect for big gatherings or a cute date with a loved one. Elizabeth was our server & she was extraordinary!! Best service I've ever had at a restaurant & was really attentive!! Not only did she go above & beyond, but she was very professional & has an amazing sense of humour. Would highly recommend just for her service alone!!
