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.

Food was very good. Steak frites perfectly cooked, salads good, soups good. Service was definitely spotty. Extremely difficult to get attention, took 30 minutes to order, & waitstaff was relatively rude.

Nous sommes allez bruncher en famille (4 adultes) un samedi. Le resto était au plus à moitié plein. La qualité & le service n'était pas à la hauteur de la réputation du restaurant. Croque-monsieur sans saveur, portion de pommes de terre rissolées minuscule, items oubliés & demandés à plus d'une reprise. Pas un désastre, mais pas de wow.

Service is warm, friendly & efficient. Food is very good & at a very affordable price. We choose from the'table d'hôte' options which included many options of appetizers & as many main course. Everything was perfect & the portions were very generous. We will definitely return.

Absolutely loved this place! It has an exquisite menu-everything you order is bound to be delicious, & the service is quick, reliable & they are super friendly. The location is also very central & the surrounding area is lush. Would 1000% recommend to anyone visiting Montreal.

Lunch décevant, morue so so. Tout, absolument tout, était enrobé dans beaucoup trop de beurre, la morue, bizarre de texture, la cuisson était bonne mais qualité du produit très ordinaire... mini portion de riz affreux, même pas de citron pour accompagner le poisson & quand j'en ai demandé, on a été très avare sur la grosseur des quartiers. Légumes OK même si trop beurré encore. J'avais faim, j'ai tout mangé mais c'était cher payé pour ce repas. Ça ne me donne pas envie d'y retourner.

We visited Café Cherrier for Sunday brunch & really enjoyed it. They offer a special brunch menu from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays & Sundays. We both ordered the croque monsieur, & they were excellent. The croque monsieur comes with salad & fries.

Our waiter was very kind & attentive. There was a small mix-up with our order due to a communication issue-English was his second language & we only speak English-but he corrected it quickly & even brought us a complimentary fresh-squeezed orange juice, which was a thoughtful gesture. The cappuccino was also very good. Overall, a pleasant brunch experience with friendly service!
