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.

J'y suis allé pour un verre. Le serveur a été super sympathique. Première terrasse du printemps pour moi. Ça reste un peu frisquet. Encore quelques degrés pour sentir tous les plaisirs d'une belle grande terrasse.

That place is super loud, the chairs move around a lot. Our server was pretty nice but didn't seem very welcoming (probably tired). I ordered the smash burger: it was good but the middle of the patties felt like i was eating a spoon of salt… Also, when the server asked if we wanted some fries, we assumed it would be an extra 3$ but no, It was the price of the entree (7.50$), it is so expensive & had little taste to it. It's definitely our fault for not double checking the price, but I feel like the server should've mentioned it too. Overall, i'm glad i tried it but i will not be going back.
Our order: Chicken wings, fries, smash burger, popcorn chicken & burratina

Je suis allée bruncher au darling un dimanche. En arrivant à l'ouverture (10h) on nous annonce qu'ils ne commencent qu'à prendre les commandes à 10h30, ce qui n'est pas grave mais nous a surpris. Le service était okay & les oeufs bénédictine aussi, pas incroyable. Aussi certains items sur le menu n'étaient pas disponibles:( Mais je reviendrais probablement essayer le soir!

Experience is great, the place is very nice & well frequented. The atmosphere is cozy without being snobby. Food is not that good specifically for sharing

Bien que les plats en général soient bons, l'attente interminable au brunch (2 heures avant d'avoir les assiettes) & la non prise en charge de la situation a rendu l'expérience plutôt pénible .
