Authentique taverne du Faubourg à la mélasse, avec ses murs en stratifié vert et son plancher de terrazo, le Cheval Blanc devient en 1986, la première micro-brasserie de type artisanale à Montréal. Une petite cuisine offre des hot-dog de style hongrois, des nachos délicieux et des paninis.
Le Cheval Blanc se présente comme une valeur sûre de quartier, avec une ambiance chaleureuse, un service attentif et une belle sélection de bières à prix raisonnables qui accompagne une nourriture simple et satisfaisante; le décor, chaleureux et un peu art déco, et la terrasse conviviale renforcent le caractère authentiquement montréalais du lieu. Les concerts en soirée ajoutent une touche vivante et les grands groupes y sont bien accueillis, ce qui rend l'expérience fluide et mémorable. Dans l'ensemble, c’est un endroit où l’on revient pour le confort, le charme et l'ambiance locale qui demeure au fil des saisons.
A relaxed, unpretentious neighbourhood classic with great house beers, solid food, & an authentically Montréal atmosphere. A favourite spot for a laid-back visit any time of year.
What I liked:
My wife & I visit frequently & always enjoy the relaxed, easygoing vibe. The food menu isn't huge, but it's reasonably priced, consistently good, & exactly what fits the atmosphere.
Their in-house beer selection is a standout… there are always reliable staples alongside seasonal brews, so there's usually something new to try while still keeping familiar favourites available.
The décor has a strong art-deco feel that i believe is original, which adds a lot of character. You can feel the history of the place, & it gives the space an authentic charm you don't find everywhere.
From spring through fall, the street patio is excellent… lively without being overwhelming. We often stop in while out walking, & it's the perfect place to sit back, people-watch, & enjoy the neighbourhood.
Atmosphere & vibe:
There's a distinctly Montréal artistic energy here…relaxed, creative, & unapologetically local. It attracts a mix of regulars & visitors & feels welcoming without trying too hard.
Who this is good for:
Anyone looking for a laid-back, unpretentious spot with good beer, simple good food, & a genuine local feel. Ideal for casual evenings, patio drinks, or a relaxed stop while walking through the area.
Closing:
A place we keep coming back to… comfortable, consistent, & full of character.
We attended a friend's anniversary dinner here, & it was such a great experience. Even though we came from outside the area, it was absolutely worth it.
The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was excellent. I was especially impressed by how well they managed to accommodate a large group-it made the whole event feel seamless.
This is definitely a place I would recommend if you're planning a special event. There's live music later in the evening, which added a really fun & entertaining touch.
The space itself feels very homey, with beautiful wood décor that gives it a cozy, elegant vibe. Also, the alcohol prices are quite reasonable, which is always a plus.
Overall, a lovely spot for a memorable night-enjoy!

This is a great microbrewery with a wonderful vibe. It is not a restaurant but a place to drink & enjoy conversation which is what you want in a microbrewery. & the hazy IPA was outstanding. Finally, the serving staff were a joy.
The beer is the star of the show here. Lots of choices for any taste & not terribly priced. The vibe is cool, the staff is nice but the food is just average tbh. Definitely would be back for a night of beers though.
