Reviews describe Le Darling as a stylish, eclectic bar and restaurant with a lively atmosphere, strong cocktails, and a diverse menu that includes oysters, tartare, burgers, and shareable plates, complemented by generally friendly and attentive service, though some visits note long waits and a loud environment, and prices that feel steep for the portions; the brunch and terrace are highlighted by many, along with a vibrant Montreal vibe and a charming, photogenic decor.
A true taste of Quebec; such a great experience. Beautiful patio. Inside is the true gem, such a cool funky space! Food was perfect & service was amazing.
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.

Hier, j'y suis allé pour célébrer mon anniversaire avec quelques amies. Tout se passait bien, le serveur était gentil. Lorsque nous avons commandé, on s'est fait refuser une modification d'un plat. Il y a une rigidité au niveau de la cuisine (venant supposément du chef) comme quoi nous ne pouvons pas retirer des aliments. Comme exemple, si tu n'aimes pas les cornichons ou un aliment, tu dois quand même les avoir dans ton plat. Même chose pour les sauces, etc. La seule façon dont le chef accepte de faire une modification est seulement si c'est en cas d'allergie grave. Donc, si tu as des restrictions alimentaires, prépare-toi un snack avant de t'y rendre, car tu risques d'avoir faim en sortant ! (Ce qui était le cas, nous sommes allés manger ailleurs par la suite.) Nous n'avons pas vraiment eu d'explication du pourquoi nous ne pouvions pas apportez de légères modifications. Nous avons trouvé ça cher aussi pour ce que c'était. Les cocktails étaient bien & le décor aussi. Pour ma part, je ne crois pas y retourner justement à cause du manque d'ouverture.
I walked into this spot very last minute & the staff was so lovely & amazing. I came for brunch but the waitress said it turns into a bar in the evening & I will be coming back here. Ugh & the food was incredible.
The bar itself is really nice, a good place to hang out with friends. The food was good overall, but the issue is that some items weren't exactly as described on the menu. For example, I ordered the'Salade d'été,' which was supposed to include apple, but there wasn't any apple in it!
