Review Summary

Café Cherrier is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal institution, cherished by locals and visitors alike for its authentic French bistro atmosphere, classic menu, and iconic vine-covered terrace. Many patrons frequently return to enjoy consistent favorites like steak frites, onion soup, and brunch, often highlighting the warm, professional service and the restaurant's big-city yet down-to-earth vibe. While the vast majority of experiences reflect a long-standing tradition of excellence and a reliable destination for celebrations or casual gatherings, some guests have noted occasional inconsistencies regarding service speed, noise levels, or fluctuations in food quality and portion sizes. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment remains a beloved landmark that continues to capture the charm of a Parisian café in the heart of the Plateau.

Other than our little potatoes slightly overcooked, everything was perfect! Impeccable service, professional but not uptight, fresh food, meat perfectly cooked & a great atmosphere!

Great bistro. Lovely atmosphere, old school charm. Good-sized menu & prepared perfectly.

Its worth going to for the true French bistro experience. The terrace is wrapped around & you don't feel like a passing car might hit you (i.e. not IN the damned street…. Why do people like eating with car exhaust fumes in the air??). Only negatives were the wet/dirty terrace chairs & the occasional long wait for service.

Dans mes préférés la soupe au poisson & la salade César, des menus du jour intéressants & une belle terrasse. Commentaire constructif les chaises de la terrasse pourraient être changées & être plus confortables. Le service toujours agréable!

Brought my golden retriever Hugo along on a Tuesday evening & was thrilled to find a few outdoor tables where dogs are totally welcome. The staff were genuinely warm, even bringing Hugo a little bowl of water without us asking. I ordered the croque monsieur & it was exactly the kind of comfort food you want after a long day, rich & perfectly toasted. If you have a dog & are looking for a relaxed spot in the Plateau, this place is an easy yes.
