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.

Très agréable experience, d'autant plus que nous avions une charmante serveuse souriante originaire de Mexico qui était à nos petits soins, un rayon de soleil en cette journée pluvieuse Les portions sont vraiment copieuses & délicieuses. J'ai bien apprécié la petite salade avec la chicorée, plus rare à trouver dans les restaurants. Les frites juliennes étaient parfaitement cuite, le croque mr bien garni aussi. Les prix sont très raisonnables pour le lieux & la qualité Merci pour cette belle expérience

Had their cucumber & yogurt soup which is a cold soup! Very refreshing in summer time. Ordered their Spaghetti Carbonara & it came with an eggshell to hold the raw egg. I wasn't at my table bc I was in a phone & the cool thing is that the server came looking for me bc he saw I was away in order to present the dish to me telling me it was ready. Wow! That's really good service! They also stored my luggage that I was carrying around for the duration of the meal.

Food was good but cold. Poached Eggs seemed like they sat out for a while before serving to me unfortunately. Made them a bit rubbery. Staff was nice.

One of the best breakfast/brunch places in Montreal. The omelettes are best I ever had. I also had smoked salmon on bagel another time I was here & it was amazing - very tasty. Everything very fresh. Service is fast & very friendly. I highly recommend this one.

Cliente depuis des années! Le Café Cherrier est fidèle à lui même & restera ma brasserie Française préférée. Sa terrasse fleurie est très agréable que l'on y reste pendant des heures. J'aime l'ambiance, les clients, la bonne nourriture & service impeccable 👍

Belle cuisine honnête & savoureuse. Service sympathique sans prétention. Clientèle semble fidèle mais nous ne nous sentions pas exclus. Très heureuse d'avoir découvert ce resto hors de la cohue de la rue St-Denis.

Je suis venue manger tout à l'heure & je n'ai pas compris le prix après réflexion le serveur m'a facturé la table d'hôte avec le poisson du jour & la soupe du jour à 40,95 dollars alors que je n'ai pas demandé la table d'hôte & individuellement le poisson étant à 29,95 & la soupe à 7 j'aurais du payer 36,95 & non 40,95 certes ne n'est que 4 dollars mais c'est du vol ! Les plats étaient bons mais la tarte à tatin pas vraiment c'est marqué crème fraîche sur le menu alors que c'est de la crème liquide sans goût. Le serveur était top malgré le fait qu'il m'ait facturé la table d'hôte que je n'avais pas commandé

Beautiful establishment. Great atmosphere. Great owners. Had the calmars & the shrimp cocktail. Not a fan of tomato sauces in general which came with calamari. The melted butter had a beautiful flavor though, but didn't merge well for my palate with the seafood. The calmars were cooked to perfection. Was not the typical chewy plastic feel that you get in most restaurants. I may just be more prone to the greek style of cream sauces over tomato. Most of my friends enjoyed the Onion soup & the Tartare. We were hoping for the Lobster Ravioli but they weren't serving it at that moment during our special event. Super disappointed but I'm sure we will be back when it is back on the menu. The Pinot Noir was my Mom's Favourite over the Bourgogne.

Classic French bistro with perfect breakfast, lunch & dinner menus. Sit inside or under the lovely canopy on the patio. Our server was a friendly & knowledgable. A mix of tourists & locals. Recommend the steak frites, croque-monsieur, & crème brûlée. Very reasonably priced.
