Review Summary

Chez Ernest offers a unique bar experience with a cabinet of curiosities style and a warm, sociable atmosphere where a diverse crowd enjoys cocktails, a good beer list and light fare that often stays open late; the drinks are well crafted and the decor invites exploration and conversation. The venue shines with eclectic decor and friendly staff, and a calendar of themed evenings, comedy, trivia and live music keeps each visit fresh; it is a great spot for friends to watch a sport, dance on swing nights, or simply linger with a drink and admire the curiosities. While the energy is usually high and the place feels welcoming, some guests note occasional slow service, a sometimes busy or loud atmosphere, and a few inconsistencies in service. Overall, this spot stands out for its originality, its standout cocktails and its varied programming that invites repeat visits.

The ordering was very easy & the staff was very welcoming. We had a great meal & the vibe of the place was very nice. I will definitely be coming back to try some new things. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good experience. It was a very pleasant visit for us all.

Chez Ernest - Comptoir de curiosités feels like the kind of place people hope to stumble upon & then quietly start recommending only to those they actually like. The vibe is warm, lively, & full of character without ever feeling forced. Between the quirky, curiosity-cabinet decor, the glowing yellow walls, the chandeliers, & all the little oddities scattered around the room, the whole place has a playful soul that makes sitting there a pleasure in itself.

What really elevates it, though, is the human side. The staff were fantastic-welcoming, relaxed, efficient, & clearly part of what gives Ernest its charm. You feel looked after without being rushed, which suits the place perfectly.

& then there is one detail that deserves open praise: the menu actually shows prices with taxes included. That should not feel revolutionary, but it does. It is such a refreshing, honest touch to know exactly what you are paying before the bill lands. More places should do this.

The food & drink held up beautifully. We had their version of a Niçoise salad & the Viking salad, & both were fresh, satisfying, & tied together by a very good Dijon-balsamic vinaigrette that gave them real personality. The beer selection was also fun, varied, & genuinely enjoyable.

Ernest is not just a bar-restaurant. It feels like a place with identity, humour, & taste-rare enough to deserve celebrating.

Go there, for a snack or for fun, enjoy your time & TIP THE STAFF
