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!

We stumbled upon La Binerie by chance-& it turned out to be the best brunch experience we've had in Montreal! The staff were so welcoming & friendly, the atmosphere was cozy & full of charm, & the food was absolutely delicious.
The baked beans, smoked meat , & everything else we tried were full of flavor & clearly made with care. So glad we found this gem. Can't wait to come back!
Très beau resto à essayer entre amis ou en famille ! Mon grand-père y allait dans sa jeunesse & je comprends pourquoi il les recommande, ce sont vraiment les meilleures bines que j'ai mangé ! À essayer ! 😊

Mon resto à déjeuner préférée.
Les portions sont pas trop grosse, sans être trop petite.
Les prix sont juste.
Les propriétaires travaille sur le plancher avec les employés. Le service est très amical.
Resto simple avec de la bonne bouffe traditionnelle.
The service here is beyond impeccable. Intimate, kind, & knowledgeable. Felt as though we were enjoying Michelin star service with prices that felt like a steal. JP made our meal a complete delight.
The beans are the best best best best best beans I have had in my life EVER. I cannot get over how good they are. Highly recommend this spot for comfort food.
Depuis longtemps je cherchais où manger une bonne poutine. J'ai trouvé l'endroit où non seulement la poutine est excellente mais où l'on trouve d'autres spécialités québécoises. De plus l'ambiance est chaleureuse, typique & le personnel au sommet de son art. Allez-y les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçus.

Very friendly owner who served us. Interesting historical decor. The food was not very good. The sausage was rubbery & there was a cold meat pate & grilled bread was slightly burned. I had the meat pie, which was very good, but only served as a side dish.
En tant que tourisme français, je recommande expressément ce restaurant. Le service est top, la nourriture est exemple & le cadre est génial !!! Un incontournable de Montréal !!! Merci pour le moment !!!!
