45 minutes d'attente simplement pour venir prendre notre commande, alors qu'il s'agissait seulement de 3 burgers.
& quelle déception, des burgers qui donnent franchement l'impression de sortir directement du rayon supermarché, avec un steak sec.
& comme si ça ne suffisait pas, il a encore fallu attendre 20 minutes pour réussir à payer. Une expérience que je ne renouvellerai pas & que je ne recommande pas.

We were in Montreal for the Formula One race, & John Michael's was exceptional! The atmosphere was great, the service was spectacular, the beers were great & it was just a great feeling. We have to highlight & recommend this place because of the service, particularly Abby, the hostess, who took exceptional care of us. While we were there, we lost something in the restaurant that was very near & dear to us. Abby took down our number & kept in contact with us & was able to locate our missing item 10 days later. It meant the world to us! This is the quality of people that you are associating with in this pub. They care & they bring you into their city. Thank you so much Abby for making our experience at John Michael's a memorable one for the rest of our lives. We love Montreal. We loved John Micheal's. We are indebted to Abby!

John Michael's Pub was amazing! We're here on a winter pilgrimage with our youth group & had some free time to grab lunch & explore the area. We stumbled upon this local gem & couldn't have been happier.

Our server, Guillermo (Guillaume in French - forgive me if I misspelled it!), was absolutely wonderful. His service was impeccable-kind, attentive, & welcoming.

The food was delicious 😋 We ordered the fish & chips, a burger, & a chicken sandwich-everything was excellent. I also enjoyed a local IPA, & my husband had an alcohol-free beer.

Thank you for such a great experience. We all truly enjoyed it & definitely recommend stopping by!
