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.

Je vais occasionnellement au Café Cherrier depuis 1984. Jamais déçu au cours de toutes ces années, il demeure un incontournable en restauration à Montréal.
Bravo à toute l'équipe!

An excellent restaurant, one of my favourites. The confit de canard is a standard that always satisfies, steaks in sauces also delicious. Service is courteous, even charming, & the ambiance is bustling, but not so much as to interfere with table conversation. Eating at Café Cherrier always lifts my spirits.

Belle terrasse avec une bonne ambiance & personnel attentif. Idéal pour l'apéro, mais
la bouffe laisse à désirer . Des moules dans un bouillon sans saveur & une soupe au chou trop salé .
