Kosher Resto Chops

Rabbi

4.0

If you're looking for a kosher dining experience that encompasses a bit of everything, Chops on Queen Mary is worth a visit. This restaurant has carved out a niche in the Montreal dining scene with its extensive menu: full Chinese cuisine, a robust steak selection, & even an array of sushi. Not to mention, their homemade desserts add a sweet touch to the dining experience. One of Chops' standout features is its impressive wine list, arguably the best kosher selection in Montreal. The inclusion of a couple of non-mevushal options is an unusual & exciting find that adds a layer of sophistication for wine enthusiasts. However, while the variety is commendable, I did find the overall pricing a bit steep, especially considering the quality of certain dishes. The burger, for example, was underwhelming-nothing memorable, which is disappointing given the expectations set by the menu's range & the restaurant's ambiance.View more

I always feel a little bad writing a negative review but this restaurant was a waste of my time & money. I think it attracts its clientele due to being a kosher restaurant but the food was over priced & under prepared. The staff were friendly but this place needs to either chop their prices in half or severely improve the quality of the dishes served.View more

Chops Restro Bar is a cozy & elegant place to enjoy a variety of dishes, from burgers & steaks to salads & pasta. The service is friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere is relaxing & inviting. The food is well-prepared & delicious, with generous portions & reasonable prices. I especially liked the mushroom soup & the grilled salmon, which were both flavorful & satisfying. The dessert menu was also tempting, with options like cheesecake, brownies, & ice cream. Chops Restro Bar is a great option for a casual or romantic dinner, or a special occasion with friends or familyView more

I agree with many of the negative reviews here, the food is fairly meh, & overpriced. We were three people & spent well over 500. They did serve fancy dishes like sweetbreads, & carpaccio, & tartare, but these dishes were simply not well-made, & they were totally unremarkable. Kosher cuisine can be done well, but it takes an effort, like anything. Take for example the similarly priced Mike's Bistro in New York, which is superb. I would suggest specialization, instead of pan asian + french, why not try do one of them well instead of both badly. There are way too many things on this menu. The only reason this place is getting two stars is because the service was decent.View more

My experiences at this place were hideous & disrespectful.
I was ordering with my wife sushi take - away for Shabbat evening & due to allergy I specifically stated twice NOT to have Avocado.
When I came back to my hotel , I opened the order & saw that all of my Sushi rolls were with Avocado, although stating twice that I can't have it.
I called the manager of the restaurant & told him that I have an Avocado at my food & asked if he could sent a replacement. Since it was before closing at Friday he couldn't get it & sound stressed & uncomfortable, I told him that I could call 10 minutes later & so I did. After 10 minutes, he said that he is sorry but the food is locked & there is nothing he can do. This made me really stuck , I was suppose to spend the next 25 hours with only vegetables & bread that I bought at the last moment before Shabbat, & due to my religion I couldn't get a proper meal, since this restaurant serves kosher food, he knew how bad it is for me & promise me a compensation, telling me & my wife to come along at Sunday & he will take care of us. I've consulted with my wife & thought that a dinner plus a refund would be a fair deal, & this is what I told him when we finally came at Sunday.
His response was as following , & I quote : "You can choose anything from the menu" - A list of dishes with prices varies between 24 & 42 CAD . I told him that I am expecting a refund for the sushi I couldn't eat- which is exactly 36 CAD, & he said , & I quote again : "You can have only this dish, I see numbers & that is what it is worth for me". I told him that a dinner should be a fair compensation & I wouldn't think of ordering to priciest steak & drink all the bar dry, but still enjoy a dinner. My wife suggested that both of us will take a course & he was quick to fix her & told her , & once again I quote : "My apology is your compensation, I only see number & you can either take sushi at the same price again or any of the suggested one course per two person menu" . I told him that it is not acceptable, & that I staying hungry at Shabbat because of his careless mistake - he could check my reservation , & nor him or the cook cared too much to do so.
After we saw it is going no where, we asked for a refund only for my sushi , his response was that "due to the laws of Montreal he can't refund". Really? he drag us here , at the middle of the vacation, after I was hungry at the weekend , not standing on his word about getting compensation & not willing to refund us?

We had no choice & didn't want to leave our money there, so my wife ordered a course worth 28CAD & a dessert worth 10CAD.

I have never experienced such a rude, arrogant , non thoughtful & dishonest service.

You have been warned, avoid this place.
