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.

My partner & I stumbled here late one Saturday night. The atmosphere was very warm & welcoming, we sat at the bar & had a great time. The bar tenders had great spirits, the drinks were good, they had late night snackies but we didn't have any this time. The lighting is beautiful & romantic. We loved it there & would be happy to return for a meal!

If you're looking for a cute Instagram-able place for brunch in Montreal this is it. The atmosphere is very unique with a variety of obscure artifacts & fixtures, almost like an eye spy book.

Très bon goût mais petites portions ! On a pris des bénédictines , à notre surprise il y avait qu'1 seul oeuf + 1 morceau de pain , salade sans tomates, concombre , peu de patates...bref quantité clairement pas suffisante pour une personne adulte ce qui rend le prix non compétitif

If you are looking for a friendly & cozy place in Montreal, you found it! A wide choice of drinks: lots of ciders, cocktails & beers. The food is also pretty good. I recommend the ribs. The desserts all looked good too but I haven't tried. The music isn't too loud & the place is big but often full. There are a few places outside too but on st Laurent boulevard. The service was a bit slow, especially to order but this place s definitely has a vibe!

I've been going to bar darling since 2020, i love everything about the place, food is amazing & the stuff & nice & friendly. My only problem is the space? It's soo tiny inside, tables are very next to each other, tiny tables with crowded place & not enough space it really stressing last time i went to the bar I couldn't wait to finish my food & leave because it was very uncomfortable & I indeed once broke a wine bottle because of how tight & crowded the blace is & how tiny the tables are they can barley fit everything...

I ordered a mocktail. It was surprisingly awful. At the end of the night, when the waitress brough the bill with an itemized list of what I'd ordered, I realized she had brought me the wrong drink. Guess that explains it. The place is really loud. The food is okay. Vegans don't have much to choose from. I enjoyed the eclectic decor.

The food is really good if they let you try it! They say their kitchen closes at 2, but beware at 1:30 they said no to anymore food. The whole staff is rude. Never again.
