Les avis décrivent Le Darling comme un bar et restaurant branché et éclectique, avec une ambiance animée, des cocktails solides et une carte variée comprenant fruits de mer, tartare, burgers et plats à partager, le tout soutenu par un service chaleureux et attentif dans certains cas, mais d'autres visites signalent aussi de longues attentes, une atmosphère bruyante et des prix élevés par rapport aux portions; le brunch et la terrasse sont souvent salués, tout comme le décor charmant et photogénique qui reflète bien l'esprit de Montréal.
I loved the place, the atmosphere & the design is so fun for a group gathering. Drinks are great, but the quality of the food is a bit low. We ordered ribs & it was salty with very little meat!
I don't usually eat out because I know how dirty restaurants can be… but that's definitely not the case here.
I was actually hired to unblock some of their drains & inspect the others before St-Jean.
While I was there, I couldn't help but notice how clean the place was-not just the main kitchen area that customers might catch a glimpse of, but the behind-the-scenes kitchen where only staff usually go. Floors spotless, equipment well-kept, everything in order. You can tell the owners care.
After finishing the job, I decided to try the popcorn chicken. & honestly… it was damn delicious. I was tempted to order more but didn't want to completely pig out.
Definitely the kind of place I'd bring a date to in the future-great food, clean, & clearly run properly behind the scenes.
Cause of blockage, vin opener, was amazed to see particularly no grease on it

Great atmosphere, a large space that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable even when it's full. The foods great, the waiters are friendly & very accommodating. I have been here 3 times & each time has been a wonderful experience . Oh the focaccia is simply delicious . Have only been late evening , so will definitely try their brunch

Food options are limited but alright. Servers are great people who understands their customers well.
Focaccia is a must try with anything from the menu.
Location is also a good.
I visited this bar today & had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the service was absolutely outstanding staff were incredibly welcoming, always smiling, & attentive with water refills right on time. The ambiance is fabulous, & the interior is beautifully designed, creating a really enjoyable atmosphere to hang out in.
However, the drinks & food were a bit disappointing. I tried Le Jardinier & Melon Electric, & both were far too sweet & lacked the strength you'd expect from a proper cocktail. As for the food, the smash burger & chicken wings were just mediocre not much flavor or anything memorable.

We got off to a very slow start as they forgot our orders (set of drinks & set of shots for the whole table). But Marco was excellent at managing the situation & he was the best. He was super apologetic & managed to shift things around for us. Would go back if he's around!
Absolute one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Always come when I am in the city.
Belle decor & les repas & boires est tres bien! Tartare au Saumon est spectacular
Kudos to Ocean, Anton, the other Anton, Raphael, Ronnie, Simon (Halifax), & of course, the most important, Simon *L* they have made every visit wonderful.
