Review Summary

Le Bar Darling is widely celebrated for its eclectic, vintage, and art-deco inspired atmosphere, making it a visually stunning destination that resonates with locals and tourists alike. Many visitors praise the establishment as an ideal spot for brunch, romantic dates, or casual evenings, often highlighting the creative cocktails, fresh oysters, and flavorful small plates. While the majority of guests report friendly and attentive service, experiences can vary during peak hours when the venue becomes crowded and noisy. Although most diners find the food quality exceptional, opinions on portion sizes and menu pricing are mixed, with some noting that certain dishes lack expected sides or that specific kitchen policies regarding modifications can feel restrictive. Overall, it remains a highly recommended neighborhood staple for those seeking a unique, lively, and aesthetically memorable experience in Montreal.

Went on a dinner date with a friend of mine & had a fantastic night. The ambiance & decor of this restaurant is quite pleasant & retro-ish. I ordered a burger & a cocktail, both were tasty. Service was also good considering how busy they were on the night we went.

Darling is a nice place to bring friends together. Service was good, water was always filled & icy cold. The food was okay. I wouldn't recommend the pasta it was cold & not much flavour. The burger & tartare were tasty, as were the brussel sprouts & focaccia. Drinks were okay too. The best part of our night was our waitress, MZ, she was a blast & very professional.

I went there on Saturday for its burgers but then realized they only serve burger weekdays. I had brunch & it was decent. I would rate service & atmosphere better than the food.

The eclectic interior makes it one of the coolest bars in the area. On top of that the cocktails & food are also on point. Popcorn chicken is amazing. So was the smash burger, focaccia, & steak frites.

Belle terrasse à l'extérieur, la bouffe est bonne mais ça s'arrête là. Les portions sont vraiment petites, & pour un prix vraiment pas raisonnable. Aucun accompagnement pour tous les plats principaux. Tu dois t'acheter séparément une frite à 7$ pour accompagner ton burger. Les cocktails sont vraiment petits pour 15$ (celui à gauche sur ma photo). Pas de glace dans les verres d'eau.

Great atmosphere & well decorated place. Menu was promising but smash burger had processed cheese & didn't come with any sides. For the price, it should have at least come with a bit of fries

My husband ordered the steak & got a few pieces of meat cut up on his plate. For thirty four dollars, we expected a bit more.

Very mediocre food. Will not go again.
