Les avis sur Icehouse décrivent une petite pépite où la nourriture est généreuse et savoureuse, avec des plats qui reviennent souvent comme le brisket sandwich, le burrito au steak et le poulet frit croustillant, sans oublier le shrimp po'boy et les tacos variés. L'ambiance est intime et conviviale, le service généralement attentif et chaleureux, et les boissons bien faites complètent des repas qui restent raisonnables côté prix. Des retours mentionnent parfois une confusion sur la réservation et des petites incohérences, mais elles sont souvent rapidement corrigées et le lieu est perçu comme accueillant et familier. Les portions généreuses, les accompagnements comme la salade de pommes de terre fumée et les nachos, et l'utilisation généreuse d'épices donnent une expérience satisfaisante, adaptée pour des sorties entre amis ou en groupe. Pour conclure, certains trouvent des points à améliorer comme des plats parfois un peu salés ou des coûts cachés sur les boissons, mais l'ensemble est largement positif et beaucoup recommandent d'essayer Icehouse.
I ordered the fish tacos to go & the total was 19 bucks with tax & tip. It came with 2 tacos & the fish were overdone in the fryer. The service was great & great vibe but I found the value & quality poor for the price.
truly our kind of place-& we can't believe it took us this long to discover it. A long-standing favorite for many, it now firmly holds that title for us too. The space is intimate & refreshingly straightforward, with great food, great drinks, & prices that feel more than fair. Every part of the experience hit just right.
The brisket sandwich was divine: melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly smoky, & deeply satisfying. The shrimp po' boy was phenomenal, & the fish Baja tacos were nothing short of incredible. Add to that drinks that were as fun & well-crafted as the lively atmosphere & music, & you've got a place that knows exactly what it's doing. To top it all off, the service was genuinely lovely. A total win from start to finish.

I love this place ! Eric in the kitchen is great! Fried chicken is amazing... best fried chicken to be honest. It's juicy & crunchy. The batter is TOP. Jalapenos Poppers with ranch, 7 layers with the good kind of tortillas chips. They have Tacos as well !!
There's also this Italian Father-Son duo that I adore , great service & great conversation.
The service was impeccable, thanks to Zach & his team. I highly recommend the margaritas with your meal. I tried the fish tacos, the fried chicken tacos & the crispy tacos with beef & I was impressed. Everything was delicious, although the fish was overcooked & therefore quite crispy! If you can make it for dollar wings, take advantage of it!!
Like... the best margaritas, the best spot, just tucked in steps away from vibrant st laurent, & just... but just... no kidding, BEST fish tacos i've ever had. Literally felt like i was in Costa Rica by the beach.
Très bon repas, nous avons apprécié l'endroit & les tacos sont très goûteux. On recommande aussi bien la version croquante que celle traditionnelle. Le service à été rapide.

The person I am assuming is the owner/manager is warm & welcoming. He suggested ordering the whiskey lemonade & it did not disappoint. The taco I ordered was just okay. There isn't much meat in it, so for $13 for two, that was disappointing.
What bothered me is that I asked for a side order of their smoked potato salad, which sounded really interesting, but the waitress decided not to bring it because'someone else's meal comes with potatoes'...soooo I'm just supposed to force them share their food with me? I wanted to laugh when she brought it because there was only about 1 1/2 tbs of potatoes. To her credit, she did say she would bring some if I'really wanted it,' but she had no right to make the decision she did in the first place. That pissed me off, so I won't be returning.
Straight up I had a really nice time, you should give this place a try if you haven't already.
It recently changed ownership after about a decade of the same guy running it. Apparently he was a well-known chef, but he wanted to retire to a farm. So a father & son bought it & now it has new life. The father (Sal) is the man in my review who is super nice & welcoming!
Food was great! You can't really go wrong with some southern classics like fried chicken, pulled pork tacos, ribs. Loads of flavour & good quality. Fun little ambiance & I'm sure the outdoor terasse in the summer is a great addition.
A cute little place for a bite. The Po' Boy was fantastic, as were the Fish Tacos. They have a great $14 Margarita between 5 & 7pm. Un petit restaurant génial!
Très bon resto décontracté , parfait pour passer une soirée entre amis & se partager des plats, nous avons pris un tacos & un burittos. Il y a un bon choix de bières de microbrasserie, des drinks & des beaux spéciaux pour les 5 à 7.

This place has the best tacos that has ever touched my lips. Also, the nacho chips are ✨homemade✨Everything was so fresh & delicious! Me & my family look forward to coming back here! Also, the lady who served us was very very kind! ♥️
A lot of hype but unfortuntately the food was simply not good. It had no taste & was overpriced... So many better options for Mexican food I had the steak burrito & my gf the bbq chicken. & carlos & pepes, three amigos cartel even taco bell or chipotle tastes better. Not an understatement the burritos were tasteless & expensive.Will not go back.

Hands down the most disappointing restaurant/bar experience I have had in Montreal. Icehouse is over priced, the food & beverages are beyond underwhelming, & their customer service is yet to be discovered.
We ordered a pitcher of Bourbon Iced Tea. As our waitress walked the five steps from the bar to our table I witnessed a fifth of the beverage wash over the floor. I requested a replenish, which the waitress agreed to & then never returned for. As my boyfriend & I finished our pitcher, we soberly asked each other if perhaps the bar forgot to add bourbon to our 40$ pitcher.
It is necessary to order food at Icehouse if you are looking to get a drink, as it does not have the licence to sell alcohol alone. We ordered tacos, 8$ for a half appetizer portion composed of the most basic, at home mexican cuisine since taco bell.
The highlight of our experience at Icehouse was our waitress forgetting to bring a friend her 40$ pitcher after ordering it three different times. I am extremely happy only one of us had to dish out 40$ for a single shot of Bourbon.
Leaving an 8% tip for our invisible waitress was the most regretful act I have made this entire summer.
Montreal is filled with small, non-franchised resto-gems. Here are some pleasing alternatives found in the same neighbourhood as Icehouse:
Else's (156 Roy Est), Dieu du Ciel (29 av Laurier Ouest), Big In Japan (4175 Boulevard Saint-Laurent), Réservoir (9 Rue Duluth Est)
Un dimanche, 18h15, nous arrivons au restaurant, plusieurs tables sont libres. Puisque nous ne sommes que 2 sur 4 convives, on nous fait attendre dehors. On se retrouve 3 couples à attendre dehors, pourtant, il y a de la place à au moins 3 tables & au comptoir. Le serveur/hôte est vraiment bête. Éventuellement, il nous est permis de nous assoir, nos amis arrivent, le service est lent & l'eau goûte l'eau de piscine, mais notre serveuse est sympathique & nous conseille bien, mais le serveur/hôte nous bouscule, fait de l'attitude & engueule les gens à la table à côté de nous.
Le menu est écrit au tableau à l'intérieur & nous ne pouvons pas le lire de la terrasse. En fait, même en allant à l'intérieur, il y a beaucoup de choses qui ne sont pas claires.
Pour la bouffe, c'est variable. Le sandwich au brisket est bon, mais la portion est petite & 12$ pour un sandwich sur un pain burger, pas de frites, pas de salade, je trouve ça cher. Mes amis ont aimé leurs crab cakes, le tacos au pelures de patates est correct mais le poulet frit est juste correct aussi. Ce qui est un peu décevant quand tu paies 38$ pour un seau complet. Ça venait avec un peu de salade de chou qui était bonne & de la salade de patates que personne n'aimait sauf moi. Nous sommes allé ailleurs pour le dessert parce qu'on avait vraiment hâte de s'en aller.
