Le Balthazar is a lively spot that draws guests with a warm atmosphere, solid food, and a standout beer and drinks selection. The service is frequently praised as friendly and attentive, with staff making guests feel welcome from start to finish. The vibe ranges from easygoing bar energy to lively music on certain nights, making it ideal for dates, dinners with friends, or celebrations, and the terrace is a nice touch in good weather. The kitchen earns praise for fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes such as burgers, calamari, tartare, and poutine, offered at a price many reviewers view as reasonable for the quality. While crowds can push the noise level up and a few menu changes divide opinions, the overall experience is described as enjoyable and worth returning to at both Centropolis and Laval locations.
What an experience! If you enjoy dining out with friends, good food, & good music, this is certainly the place to be. Everything that was prepared for us was such a treat. Every order was done so, with pride, & care. The atmosphere, with the band playing was really something special. Bravo 🙌🏾
Francis was great...although he was helping his colleagues with the different groups (Christmas parties, birthday, etc.), he still gave us a great service.
The music was little too loud for me, but other than that, thank you Francis!!
Went on Sunday night & sat outside. Wasn't too cold & the speakers were placed far enough so it wasn't too loud where we sat, & conversation was easy. They played really good music, old hits & whatnot. Our server was really funny & really brought our moods up. The food was great, calamari was really nicely seasoned, had the Balt burger (try subbing the mayo for barbecue, really good, also good on its own though). Food came out quick enough too.
The place is amazing. Spacious, clean, the staff is great (we had Audrey, which was on her first day on Sept. 20, but extremely caring & professional), & the food was tasty & affordable. The only reason it doesn't get a full 5 stars on atmosphere is that the music gets a bit too loud for my taste (but it's probably ok for other people). Totally recommend this place, you will have a great time! 5/5 overall for sure!
I went with a friend on there terasse, there was a DJ playing inside the music was good, we had a few beers that were good, eat a burger that was really good but I really liked the buffalo wings wings

All is great about this place , they have musicians playing sometimes, that give this place a special vide to it. The food is great & there's a wide choice of beer.
Great service & nice atmosphere ( with the live music )
Food was ok but nothing to write home about.
UPDATE FROM APRIL 2025:
I revisited this restaurant & I need to update my review. The service was amazing, even if the restaurant was packed. The waitress, Charlotte I believe, really went above & beyond.
But, sadly, the food was really below was was expected for that price point. I had a sandwich with chicken & pesto & the pesto was so salty it made the sandwich barely edible. I had to remove almost all of the pesto. I also ordered a dessert, the fondant chocolate cake & it was not fondant & barely tasted like chocolate. It was also super small, barely bigger then a gold ball & it wasn't fondant. It really tasted like a small, cheap chocolate cake purchased at maxi & covered & cheap fake tasting caramel.
My friends ordered other meals that weren't anything to write home about.
The poutine is good, but expensive. I do appreciate that you can order a half portion, as a full one is too much for me (the portions are pretty big). The nachos are also good, lots of options. The restaurant is a bit too loud when it's packed with the music in the background, it's hard to have a conversation, but the staff was very nice.
First Timer. Went there for a quick drink. Plenty of parking available. No reservation but staff were welcoming & gave us a table. Nice/Cosy atmosphere with live sport streaming & live Music ! Drinks(cocktail & beers), were really good & with unique touch. As for foods we only got the nachos so cant really give a feedback. #recommended overall
This place was very loud, its okay to have music but when you can't hear the people at your table nor the waitress there's a BIG problem... The ribs were okay but the mac & cheese was pretty bad I do love that there is a lot of different option so I might take something else next time but for take out
The tables are very close together & the music is fairly loud so it is hard to have a conversation. My burrata pasta dish was very bland & the cheese was not very fresh. Of the 4 dishes ordered at the table only one was decent which was the chicken pesto sandwich. The servers were not very attentive & I had asked to add a cesar salad to my order & they finally came around after our main meals had been finished to see if I still wanted it.
