Les critiques convergent sur Hoogan & Beaufort pour une expérience culinaire raffinée et généreuse, avec le menu degustation apprécié pour sa cohérence et ses saveurs audacieuses et des plats savoureux jusqu’au dessert; le service est le plus souvent chaleureux, professionnel et attentif, avec une ambiance à la fois élégante et conviviale. La carte des vins et les accords mets-vins sont salués pour leur pertinence et le sommelier est souvent cité pour guider habilement la dégustation; le cadre et la décoration sont jugés magnifiques et propices à des soirées mémorables. Certaines critiques évoquent toutefois un coût élevé et des desserts parfois décevants, ainsi que des remarques sur une certaine incohérence entre le service et le prix ou sur des expériences de service perçues comme moins marquantes lors de certaines visites. Globalement, l'établissement est considéré comme une référence gastronomique à Montréal, et de nombreux convives expriment le souhait d'y revenir, attirés par la finesse des saveurs et la qualité du cadre.
Hoogan & Beaufort left us feeling hungry. Located in a sleek, airy industrial space, the restaurant offers highly professional service, an impressive wine list & artfully executed dishes. Unfortunately, the portions were conspicuously ungenerous - at one point the appetizer consisted of literally a single small piece of joue de veau. Our table of six birthday celebrants left unsatisfied & frustrated after a bill of roughly $175 per person, including taxes, wine & tip. A few guests even felt the need to eat afterwards. We did appreciate the desserts, & a waiter kindly brought extra bread after sensing our portion shock. Despite these touches, the group still left disappointed.
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.

The food was truly amazing, every dish was well executed & flavorful. The restaurant clearly deserves recognition for its cuisine.
However, the service didn't match the level of the food or the price point. When we arrived, the waiter seemed quite cold toward us, possibly because we were speaking English. We asked for cocktail recommendations & were told the menu changes often, so we should just pick whatever'resonated' with us which wasn't very helpful.
The restaurant has received a Michelin recommendation for its wine list, & the first wine suggested to me was excellent. When I asked for a second wine with my meal, I was brought something I didn't enjoy. After mentioning it, the waiter brought another glass which turned out to be the exact same first wine he had already served me (I noticed because it was the same bottle). The wine was great, but it would have been nice to see a bit more attention to detail & effort.
Overall, the food was good, but the service felt indifferent & not aligned with a nearly $500 experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return though I still think the kitchen does a great job.
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.
A very confusing dining experience! The wine was fabulous! The dessert was exceptional!!!! The apps/main food was... Uninspired. Boring. Not special. Not worth the price....... We ordered the tasting menu & were not impressed. The 4/5 courses were vegetarian (come on...), they were also pretty bland, & the steak/rib was simply "ok". For the price... Unacceptable. When ordering a tasting menu at this price I expect each dish to have something memorable... I didn't find that here (except for the apple, hops, olive oil dessert which was 10/10). Won't be coming back.
Ribs steaks tastes ok on average, come with spaghetti & salads as side dishes. Enough for share:) As well warm oyster just amazing. Our server Louis is patience & supportive. But overall not feel very welcoming at very beginning at the restaurant. Overall whole experience was not that great. Don't feel welcoming & the way hostess talk was makes me uncomfortable. As well first time we received our ribs comes cold, but server Louis was helpful & we got another new steak, appreciate that:) -no problem with Louis, appreciate with the efforts however at beginning steak comes with some tomatoes & grilled veggies such as horicots, was totally disappeared after we got our new steak. & we ask two times to get grilled veggies back. If your dishes comes with that you should gave us as it supposed to be like.(I kept spaghetti & salad so I didn't mean those two side dishes only for the vegetable & tomatoes) My appointment was made at 5:30, I arrived on time even earlier. As e-mail said I had table for 2h30mins, if I understand right I can have my table until 8pm. I ask for the bill to be printed at 7:20 I did checked time:) & I got some personal issue with bank so I stay 15mins longer wait issue fix, at 7:36 hostess lady was suddenly come ask us rudely to pay the bill & we have to leave because she got customer coming at 8. I explain to her I got issue now will need to stay a bit to wait, she push us to have a time to pay bill. I just want to say even though I didn't had wine or dessert I still bring your guys revenue, I am still your customer tonight until I leave. Better to train your employe how to communicate more respectful. As long as I don't want leave within 2h30mins, it's not friendly to push people leave & pay bill. Make me feel that I will escape. I came with your reputation & want trust your team professional cooking skills. As well operation as a team, sadly I was disappointed with today whole experience. Won't be back anymore, first time is last time:) If you finish read my note I appreciate your patience, thank you

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:)
Perfection 👌 top level cooking here. The quail pasta is a dish that will be remembered forever. Unbelievable wines here too, everything was blissful. The service was excellent too. Go for the tasting menu with wine pairing.😊
Our meal here was nothing short of incredible (we got the tasting menu & wine paring). We've only ever eaten at one Michelin star restaurant before, but our meal here exceeded that experience. The food was insanely delicious, & I was honestly sad to leave knowing that our meal was over! The service was also amazing. Everyone who took care of us was so kind & knowledgeable & the pacing of the service was perfection-this place is a well-oiled machine. Even though the quality of the meal was top tier, the atmosphere never felt stuffy or pretentious. Hoogan & Beaufort is an absolute recommend.

We ate at Hoogan & Beaufort a few days ago & it was phenomenal. The chef accommodated our dietary restrictions so we could enjoy the tasting menu (me: no meat, him: no lobster) & we were treated to excellent wine pairings, also adapted due to the changes in our menu. Overall the staff went above & beyond to ensure we had an excellent dining experience.
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.
There were some positives, but overall a very underwhelming experience. There was good wine selection, but the food was overpriced (& by that I mean it didn't meet expectations relative to price). The starter we ordered was extremely small, & the rib steak to share was severely under seasoned (everything on the dish, including the two sauces). The service was good, but by the time we got our steak the waiter didn't care to ask if it was to our liking or afterwards if we enjoyed it. I wanted to like this restaurant, but honestly wouldn't go back.

Great service & wonderfully delicious food. Quite an exhausive wine list. Would definitely recommend this restaurant yearning for fine French dinning with a creative modern taste.
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.
Lovely restaurant with highly educated servers! I was treated like a princess & I really liked it! I were there for meeting a friend. I really loved the beauty of the design & the quality of the food arrangements! We ordered hot oysters to share! So delicious! & We shared a plate of chicken with my friend! So tender & well decorated with a potato salad. They have a wide wine selection as well. Highly recommended!
Do yourself a favor & go experience Hoogan & Beaufort: you won't regret it! Starting from the best local ingredients available, they manage to create food out of this world that you'll dream about for weeks. I recommend sharing & trying everything as a group. The pastas & côte de boeuf are divine. More wine please!
Absolutely delicious & completely worth it. Went for the first time with friends & we all greatly enjoyed our meals. The service was great as well & their wine pairing suggestions for my meals were spot on. For those with dietary restrictions (celiac or gluten/dairy free) you will be well catered to & you won't be the least bit hungry or feel like you missed out.
