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.

We had a reservation for 4 & requested a table outside for 7pm, only to arrive & find out that the only table for 4 outside had been given away to a reservation for 2. They had nice tables with a view on the inside, but we were told that we could only sit there until 8:30 because they were reserved at that time. So, not wanting to be rushed, we sat in the corner of their small windowless side room. Our waitress brought our drinks, took our order, & then we didn't see her again until our drinks were empty, our first courses had been finished & sat on the table for a half hour. We finally asked another person to bring us water. My companion ordered a bottle of wine, & then after the dinner had arrived, had to ask another person to find our waiter to have the bottle brought over. My steak came out medium rare instead of medium, & to their credit, they were quick to take it back & fix it. However, on arrival, I had no fork or steak knife- I had to get up & find the waiter to ask her for it- & the mayonnaise for my fries had been removed & not replaced. The entrees themselves did not arrive at the table until almost 8:30 meaning that if we had accepted the table in the main dining room, we would have not been anywhere near finished with our meal because it took them that long to bring us our entrees. The nice thing I will say about our experience was, that despite the many flaws in our experience, the waiter was nice & had a good personality. This restaurant was recommended to us by someone who had very fond memories of it. I am sorry to say that we were quite disapointed.

Le potage, la soupe de poissons & le café à la hauteur de nos attentes.

Les moules marinières & le tartare de boeuf fades & sans saveur.

Élizabeth sert bien en salle.

Toujours une excellente adresse avec de bons plats. Il faisait gris dehors & l'ambiance était un peu triste. Cela manquait de chaleur humaine.
