Overall, reviews describe Hoogan & Beaufort as a standout dining destination where the tasting menu and wine pairings often shine, with beautifully executed dishes and a wine program that enhances the flavors. Service is consistently praised for warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism, and dining at the bar is frequently highlighted as a particularly fun and engaging experience. While most guests are impressed by the cuisine and atmosphere, a few note moments when service feels detached or not fully aligned with the price, and some mention menu changes or desserts that are pricey or not entirely satisfying. Many reviewers call the kitchen skilled and inventive, with plates that are both refined and flavorful, and the overall ambiance described as elegant yet relaxed. The wine list has Michelin recognition and the experience is often described as among the best in town, making celebrations memorable, even as a small number of visits surface inconsistencies.
We had been talking about trying Hoogan & Beaufort for years, so we decided to finally book it for a birthday & make a real occasion out of it. Honestly, it was worth the wait.
We went with the tasting menu because we wanted the full experience, & it was the right choice. Every plate surprised us in a good way. The flavors were creative but still comforting, & each course felt carefully thought out. It is one of those meals where you slow down & really enjoy every bite.
The service made the night even more special. Everyone was warm & genuinely friendly. The sommelier, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, clearly knows his craft & gave us very personalized wine recommendations that elevated the whole meal.
What really touched us was the birthday surprise at the end. We had mentioned it when booking but did not remind them when we arrived, yet they still brought out an extra dessert. It felt thoughtful & elegant without being over the top.
I would absolutely recommend it, especially for a special occasion.

Côté cuisine, nous avons été impressionnés par le talent des chefs. Chaque plat commandé était un véritable coup de coeur, apprêté avec une précision & une créativité méritant un 10/10. 🍽?😋👌 !
BRAVO AUX CHEFS & VOTRE ÉQUIPE
C'est sans aucun doute l'une des meilleures adresses en ville pour la finesse des saveurs & la qualité de l'ambiance. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter ! »

Incroyable expérience culinaire avec un accord mets/vins hors de l'ordinaire. Laurence, le sommelier, nous présente les vins d'une façon qui nous fait voyager de service en service. Combiné avec des plats revisités avec innovation, clairement, une des excellentes tables à Montréal.
Great resto for a date with your significant other to celebrate important milestones, & the ambiance is low-key refined, but for the price you pay their cuisine left me slightly hungry & disappointed, hence only 4 stars for the food. Some of their courses & chosen taste profiles just didn't make sense to me, & I consider myself to have a refined palate & very flexible tastes... But their sommelier nailed their recommendation on wine pairing; their wine selections won't leave you disappointed.
Sincèrement l'un des meilleurs restaurant à Montréal! Le menu est de saison, super créatif & délicieux. Le service est un 10/10, impeccable, tout le staff est avenant & super pro. Merci à notre serveur Mehdi & au sommelier pour leurs superbes recommandations! On a passé une excellente soirée & on reviendra!
We had the multi course tasting menu for our anniversary date❤️ the food was varied & every course was well rounded. There was a focus on fresh ingredients & their intent was overwhelm the palate. Some more adventurous eaters may disappointed but we enjoyed this meal very much. The wine selection was very well chosen & the sommelier was knowledgeable. Overall a great experience:)
An absolutely exceptional meal from start to finish. The service was excellent; we had Mehdi as our waiter & he was wonderful, & Hugo, the sommelier, was highly experienced & each pairing was intelligently & carefully picked. It's a welcoming environment for anglophones as well, speaking as one :) I had the menu degustations- Miguel, the chef, changes it up often so I'll surely be back! Thank you H&B for a lovely night

WoW quelle expérience nous avons eu hier soir! Accords mets & vin avec le menu dégustation . C'était succulent! Le service était impeccable, le sommelier est vraiment un passionné de son travail, la qualité de la nourriture ++ & endroit très propre. Le seul bémol... il n'y avait pas assez de tartare de pétoncle dans mon assiette 😂 (c'était trop bon)
Une excellente expérience le midi ! Les plats cuits près du feu de bois étaient savoureux, originaux & généreux. Notre sommelier a été de très bon conseil & le service était attentionné. Déjà hâte d'y retourner !
Excellent sommelier, nécessaire étant donné la taille de la carte des vins. Plats intéressants hors du commun à découvrir. Plutôt dispendieux mais on s'y attendait
Last night's tasting menu was exceptional! The nuance of flavors & clever ingredients made each dish unique from start to finish. The wine pairings were perfection as well... our sommelier knew so much about each selection that it made the experience super fun. Each staff member did a great job & the ambiance was minimalist but warm. We sat at the bar, which gave us a chance to watch a lot of the food prep, grilling & drink making so it was quite entertaining too! We highly recommend Hoogan & Beaufort & can't wait to return.

This is one of the few restaurants I rave about (& still continue to rave about) to this day, months after dining with them. I took my boyfriend to H&B for his birthday one evening in August 2023. We picked the tasting menu with the wine pairing & I am blown away by such a positive experience that we had. The sommelier assigned to our table was very educated & well-travelled. He was able to share stories about how he had come to find the wine, his relations with the vineyards & owners. He gave great descriptions relating to the different wine palettes, & why they pair nicely with each dish. The other servers were very attentive to our needs. They cleaned our table spills after each dish & were mindful enough to bring extra bread (to scoop up the gravys & creams) & refill our water glasses without even asking. The dishes was the best mix of being experimental/interesting (meshing of flavours I would not have thought to pair together), well-cooked, aesthetically pleasing & well-proportioned. I don't even know what else to add other than my partner & I were very silent when eating because that was how delicious it was, & we wanted to savour each moment. Finally, the decor & atmosphere gives off Japanese Zen/Scandinavian vibes. The restaurant has floor-to-ceiling glass windows which lets in lots of light & brightens the whole place. The many wood textures give a sense of calm, while the neutral & warm colors give a sense of elegance. The restaurant is located by the old train tracks, surrounded by old brick & metal structures. Very beautiful. This is definitely a place to take someone special, or to impress folks. While it can be expensive, I believe it is worth the price.
