THE HISTORY OF LA BINERIE MONT-ROYAL June 11th, 1938 Joachim Lussier is the founder and first owner of La Binerie MONT-ROYAL. Assisted by his brother Leo, he decided that the traditional Quebec cuisine and family spirit are the pillars of the establishment. During the first 60 years, several members of their families worked at the restaurant and left their contributions and memories with the customers. La Binerie Mont-Royal has become a culinary institution in Quebec, which is proud to offer authentic Quebec cuisine to all those who want to remember the good experiences of family meals. Memorable experiences are created for all new customers! July 13th, 1966 Leo buys his brother's restaurant. In October of the same year, he hired a "new kid", a waiter, Fernand Groulx rapidly integrating with the Lussier family. In October 1969, Fernand weds Claire, Leo’s eldest daughter. So when Leo decided to retire - he knew that there was someone to take his place! August 4th, 1978, after 40 years of service, Leo sells La Binerie Mont-Royal to Fernand and Claire. The two work together for over 30 years! March 10th, 2001, the secret recipes of La Binerie Mont-Royal are given to a trio of restaurants in Quebec which brought some physical improvements to the restaurant. In March 2002, the torch of Quebec cuisine was purchased and continued by Suzanne Touchette and Bernard Deschamps. November 17th, 2005, Jocelyne and Philippe Brunet became the happy recipients of La Binerie Mont-Royal. They were looking for several months for a restaurant that offered food and special experience, which also had development potential. In hopes of making a cozier restaurant, the bar and the tables are now solid maple and walls are covered with pictures of our family traditions from the great Quebec illustrator Joseph-Edmond Massicotte. Several improvements in the menu were made and continue to be, so that the dishes offered can live up to the required quality, while respecting the authenticity of the Quebec cuisine! They like to offer their loyal customers and the many visitors from other countries, the pleasure of enjoying traditional dishes, making sure they leave with a good memory! Eating at La Binerie Mount Royal... is putting Quebec on your plate! At the La Binerie, you will feel at home!

Excellent déjeuner, les bines en étaient la star. Très bonne portion. Super service de J-P du début à la fin. Endroit vraiment sympa & convivial. J'ai hâte d'y retourner pour essayer les plats traditionnels.
J'ai bien aimé le look du restaurant, très représentatif du Québec, ainsi que la musique. Le serveur était très gentil & à l'écoute de nos besoins lorsque nous demandions nos restants pour emporter. Un seul bémol est la grosseur des tables & le confort. J'avais mal après 10 minutes de m'être assise, car ont s'assoit sur des planches de bois. Les tables sont tellement petites, que nous n'avons pas d'espace pour même appuyer nos coudes sur la table.
La nourriture était bonne & la portion bien assez pour remplir nos ventres. J'ai trouvé la tourtière un peu huileuse & les fèves au lard un peu salés, mais à part de cela, c'était bien.
L'ambiance y est sympathique, le service rapide & accueillant. J'ai été conseillée vers un siège'en dehors des courants d'air', & immédiatement servie un verre d'eau avec glaçons alors que je consultais le menu. La musique est dans le ton, sans être trop fort.
Je me suis essayée à la tourtière en version'repas complet', servie avec une soupe de pois & un poudding chômeur. (Avis aux pointilleux sur la tradition: la farce de la tourtière était faite de viande hachée & non en morceaux). Sans être transandante, la nourriture était bien préparée, faite pour réchauffer & remplir l'estomac. Confortable, donc.
Super ! Une ambiance calme & familiale, un service chaleureux, & des portions copieuses & savoureuses (particulièrement la soupe aux pois & la tourtière). Nous avions fait spécialement le déplacement pour goûter la cuisine locale, & ça valait vraiment le coup !
