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.

Nice atmosphere but bad food & service.We went there as3 friends . The atmosphere was overall good & rustic . Unfortunately, our the food experience was bad. We ordered beers , cheeseburger , Bailey's & french fries were overcooked & burnt. Therefore, we mentioned it to the waitress by pointing out our plate. She didn't even bother herself to say sorry. She was super angry & took the plate & brought the second fries again burnt same . Consequently, we refused the pay tips & she asked us the reason why we didn't pay the tips. We said " The food was burnt." She said " It is not about my service ." This is unacceptable ! If the plate is not okay especially for the second time ,it is the server's duty to forward the burnt food to the kitchen & or the chef. Please show more responsibility to the plates & respect to the customers.

Assez décevant, 25min d'attente pour la bouteille que j'ai commandé, elle m'est amené sans aucune présentation. Plusieurs plats ou entrées oubliés dans notre groupe. La serveuse n'étair pas sympatique, pas de sourire, pas d'excuse fasse aux erreurs, pas de remerciement à la fin du service.... ils sont chanceux que l'endroit est beau parce que honnêtement le service est minimal pour ne pas dire terrible. Les bussboys sont on point, mais pas le service. La nourriture est ordinaire. La mignonnette semblait être que du vinaigre blanc... & l'une de nos huitres n'étaient pas fraîche.

Le service de notre serveuse était vraiment médiocre. Elle ne revenait jamais pour prendre notre commande, elle avait l'air bête toute la soirée. Elle nous remercie pas lorsqu'elle prend les paiements & quitte. Vrm décevant. La nourriture était bonne, les drinks très médiocres, ils goûtaient l'eau.

I'll state the facts, you decide. I have been there for drinks & went for breakfast recently. The food is ok, tasty, but the portions are ridiculously small. The average price for benedicts in most breakfast restaurants is ~$22 for two. Here you get only one for that price. I was also charged $3.50 for a couple of teaspoons of jelly & an extra dollar for ice... & thing is that it is only the Plateau, right? With a very standard service & nothing more. Up to you.
