Dishes like beef tartare, oysters, brisket, croquettes, pain perdu and French toast are frequently highlighted, along with standout brunch items and desserts.

Overall, La Fabrique Bistrot is seen as an essential Montreal brunch and dinner destination with creative cuisine and reliable hospitality, with occasional hiccups during peak periods.
Je n'ai pas pu goûter. On avait réservé le 14 au matin pour un brunch. Mais arriver sur place il y avait un bogue dans la réservation. Ils nous ont dit qu'il n'y avait plus de place, c'est tout. On avait fait une heure de route pour rien. Aucune empathie. Nous n'y retournerons pas. Heureusement, Le Café Cherrier juste à côté, nous ont super bien reçu!
C'était ma deuxième fois à la Fabrique, cette fois-ci pour souper. C'était délicieux, par moments classique, mais avec une petite twist audacieuse. Bons cocktails pour accompagner. Ambiance chaleureuse & lieux empreints de cachet. L'endroit est victime de son succès notamment lors de Mtl à Table & dans les environs de la St Valentin, il faut prévoir que le service soit un peu au ralenti.
Came across this place on the internet when we were planning our visit to McGill. It is a gem!
The staff is kind & welcoming & the food is rich, has big portions & creative. They change their menu every 3 weeks so there is a low chance to catch the same exact thing.
The food & the location somehow shares the same earthiness which my friends & I really enjoyed.
I recommend the beef chuck with the gnocchi & the omelette.
Shocked at the good reviews for this place. I went a few years ago for brunch & it was overpriced & forgettable. Recently went with a big party for the set menu. I find it to not be worth it for the price. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It was ok. Also when I nicely asked for the mayo to go one of the servers was very judgey & said'a container for those two things of mayo? We don't have anything to pack that up'.. it is very reasonable to pack up dipping sauces to go for any restaurant. They ended up giving me the container but it's just the principle of it. Anyway a couple other people also didn't love their main dishes. Didn't have the dessert but it looked ok. It was a French toast thing.
The two stars are for the excellent soup, yummy pickles, pretty good green salad & delicious fries!! & the mayo is next level tbh...
Oh & I got a spicy margarita. Zero stars. Hate to say it but it was flavorless.
Paid almost 100 dollars with tip for this place. I won't be coming back.
Super cuisine, belle recherche & un super service plats copieux ! seul petit point d'amélioration sur l'insonorisation de la salle
qui une fois pleine est un peu bruyante mais n'entache pas le souper ! allez y avant la
fermeture temporaire pour travaux en mars 26
My boyfriend took me to La Fabrique to celebrate my birthday, & it was such a lovely experience. The restaurant is super cute, intimate, & romantic. Our waiter was incredibly attentive & even suggested wines based on our preferences.
We were already getting full after our soup, & he thoughtfully checked in with us & offered to skip our second appetizer since he hadn't put the order in yet - which worked out perfectly because we needed room for our mains. The oysters were superb. We ordered the pulled pork burger, & I had the tandoori salmon, both of which were delicious.
For dessert, we shared the chocolate brownie - so decadent with the perfect crunch. One of the most unique touches was that they give out cotton candy at the end! Such a fun & unexpected surprise. I would definitely come back.
I'm a repeat customer. My wife & daughter joined me at this gem of a place. Charming decor, unique food dishes, great atmosphere & perfect service. Highly recommended.
Service was good & the place looks nice. However, didn't like any of the food I tried. Everything was presented wonderfully, but the meals were kind of bland tasting.
Came for brunch & the food was incredible, service was fast & attentive & the vibes were perfect for a winter morning. Seriously do not skip this spot!
