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.
Toutes les trois avons profité au maximum de cette première rencontre familiale depuis la fin de la pandémie. Grâce à la qualité de chacun de vos services, jamais nous avons dû nous interrompe pour vous demander de corriger quoi que ce soit & d'attendre cette correction. Merci pour tout. Camille B.

Wonderful restaurant. Whenever we visit Montreal (two, or three, or four times a year), we make sure to get a reservation. (Our local relatives love the menu & the place, too.)

I wish I could speak better French to explain how much my wife & I love the restaurant-the service-the ambiance-the superb food- the creativity of the menu-the total experience. Always a pleasure coming to Cafe Cherrier for your quality & caring of the clientele.

Bien que le service fut intentionné, je dirais que le repas l'a été beaucoup moins principalement à cause des moules trop cuites, insipides...vraiment les plus mauvaises moules que j'ai mangé jusqu'à ce jour. Je ne pense plus retourner chez-vous. Merci.
I find that the service, the menu, & the ambiance is not what it used to be before covid. The service was unusually slow (fault of the kitchen, not our server). I love the cafe & will continue to go on special occasions but there is a lack of pep that used to be there. sending best wishes
