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.
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.

Emma est définitivement la meilleure serveuse en ville. Bonne recommandation : le tartare est délicieux & les sangrias sont incroyables. Je vais revenir juste pour elle. Merci pour tout Emma.
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.
Sérieusement!!!! Quoi dire de mieux que le sourire craquant de notre belle Marion & de Jean-Mathieu le Mixologue autant souriant & passionné. Quoi dire de Cédric & son humour subtil & charmant!!!!!!!!!!
Dîner avec mes 2 amis le 14 mars & servi par Karina. Je laisse rarement des avis mais c'était vraiment sur la coche & je me dis toujours que si le service est pourrie je ne laisse jamais d'avis pour ne pas faire mal puisque les gens sont assez intelligents pour juste pas y retourner. Tout passe par le service & Karina a fait en sorte qu'on a déjà hâte d'y retourner. Cheers👌
Review from July 17th 2024, we were a group of 6. We had a reservation, it took our waitress 40 minutes to greet us. Ordering food also took a very long time. Waitress never checked on us, water glasses were empty, we didn't even both ordering another round of drinks because of the slow service. After we were done eating desserts it took an extra 30min before the waitress came by, we asked for the bill, took a very long time too. She then made a mistake on the bills but we figured it out among us. A friend had a gift card, the waitress gave herself double the amount of tip than what my friend told her, she then told us she can't reimburse us. She also gave us lots of attitude & kept rolling her eyes. Food was pretty good though. I haven't been since then, & will probably not go back, but I hope they hired more people (but they did seem like they had enough staff) vs fired that waitress. The rest of the restaurants workers also seemed to ignore us when we told them we've been waiting a long time. I hope they figured that out, the only reason I'm giving 2 stars is the food, but I've rarely gotten such a bad service.
Bel endroit avec de l'ambiance & un bon service malgré l'endroit bondé. Seul petit bémol est que nous avions de la difficultés a nous entendre parler, car le son de chansonnier était très fort. & ce même si nous étions dans le fond de la très grande salle.

We got there to try their burgers on a Friday night. The place was crowded & had some kind of singer (a bit noisy if you don't like that). The waitress was just nice & extremely helpful. My choice of burger was not the best (some chicken with avocado burger): meat was well cooked, yet the final taste was awkward.
I really like this place but unfortunately they've been making every dish smaller & smaller. Before you could order Nachos & it was big enough for 2. & the tacos order used to be composed of three big tacos & a salad, & last time it was only 2 tacos, no salad. So, I suppose they haven't increased their prices but definitely they are shrinking the dishes.
Belle soirée en famille & entre amis. Personnel souriant & courtois, de vrais pros. La nourriture est bien goûteuse & l'endroit est très propre. Je recommande vivement.
