Expérience absolument honteuse au restaurant Le Bosphore.
Service inexistant : tables sans verres, sans eau, rien. Après avoir commandé, nous avons attendu plus de 2 heures sans être servis. Quand les plats sont arrivés, ce n'était pas ce qu'on avait demandé, & plusieurs personnes n'ont rien reçu du tout.
Le pire reste l'attitude du propriétaire : irrespectueux, aucun professionnalisme, aucune excuse. Il nous a carrément mis dehors après nous avoir fait attendre presque 3 heures sans manger.
Franchement, c'est le pire restaurant que j'ai vu de ma vie. À fui
THE GOOD:
The Food - The food was pretty good, albeit a bit expensive for what you get. We got the platter for 4 & the chicken wings it came with, in particular, were very nicely seasoned.
THE OKAY:
The Atmosphere - The atmosphere is good enough that you could take a date there. Nothing you would seek out, but not bad.
THE BAD:
The Wait - We waited over 2 hours for our food, & watched a few other tables opt to leave after waiting for well over an hour. When the food finally ended up coming they still never brought out the side of bread it was supposed to come with or any of the sides we ordered.
The Service - To say the service was bad wouldn't be entirely true; it was simply nonexistent. We ordered right after we sat down & asked also asked for some water to start. After 45 minutes we had to go find the server to ask her to bring over some water. At no point during our over two hour wait did she come over to the table to see how we were doing or if we needed anything. When we asked her about the wait for the food she told us'It's not my fault, the kitchen is just taking a long time. It's Valentine's day so obviously waits are going to be long.'
By a wide margin Le Bosphore gets awarded the worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

Bosphore - À éviter si vous êtes pressé !
Même avec une réservation, préparez-vous à attendre au moins une heure. Mon expérience a été un vrai regret : après 45 minutes d'attente, j'ai finalement appelé un autre restaurant & trouvé une table à La Maison Grecque, un établissement familial depuis 1980, connu pour ses calamars parmi les meilleurs de Montréal & ses plats halal savoureux.
Aujourd'hui, des amis ont tenté le Bosphore & pour 150 $, le verdict est sans appel : déception totale. Une heure d'attente pour ça… Je confirme : mieux vaut aller ailleurs.
It is my first time there snd I knew it was not gonna be perfect but I went there cause a friend wanted to.
The service & atmosphere are amazing.
The waitresses are amazing ladies.
I loved their attention & patience with us.
But the lentil soup was buttery a lot.
The tea was amazing.
My plate was amazing. I got the adana kebab.
My friend got the pide fromege & sojuk & a manti.
The le bosphore mixed kebab for 4 was delicious.
The al nazik plate was not delicious. It was leftovers untouched & taken home to someone who would love it & he did.
The kids loved the fries.
The meat there is great.
Turkish are best with lamb kebab.
I loved the carrot dip & for the first time ever liked a tzatziki sauce.
I got angry that my pide aux epinard was destroyed when I got home. The way they packed it the topping was stuck on the paper & the dough was separated. You should have cut it & put it in a small box like the ones for the plates would have been better.
Did not take the picture of destroyed one.
The lahmacu was perfect when I got home.
I am interested in trying the breakfast menu next time.
J'ai récemment soupé au Bosphore & c'était une très belle expérience. La cuisine turque est authentique, généreuse & savoureuse. Les grillades, kebabs, mezze & pains frais, tout était bien épicé & goûteux. Le service mérite un gros bravo. Notre serveuse était accueillante, attentionnée & professionnelle, ce qui a vraiment rehaussé le repas. Pour le rapport qualité-prix, c'est très honnête : portions généreuses pour un menu raisonnable!
Pour un breakfast Royal cest vraiment la bonne adresse! Notre belle expérience culinaire merveilleuse en famille.
Je remercie infiniment la serveuse Hafida pour son service chaleureux & son attention! Tres bien continuez Bosphore

J'ai pris un petit-déjeuner turc au restaurant Bosphore & c'était vraiment délicieux ! Le lieu est calme, l'ambiance agréable, & les serveuses sont très sympathiques. On a l'impression de voyager en Turquie tout en étant au Canada. Une très belle expérience, je recommande fortement !
