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.

Love this restaurant bar soo much. Eclectic, cool, unique....great drinks & good food. Really friends service...no wonder they have opened "sister" restaurants on the street. Really well done!
What a great spot. The drinks were great, the service also. The decor is endearingly weird - with all the pretty, wacky mirrors, figurines, paintings & whatnot, this might be the quaintest place I've ever had a drink in.
I had steak & fries. For $30, steak was amazingly small & fries were super old & greasy. Drinks were normal as well. BTW, the salmon plate is a very tiny plate!!!
Ambiance très cool. Je vais y retourner certainement. La.bouffe excellente mais des portions tees minuscule. On doit commander 2 plats par personnes pour assez manger. Entretemps , les drinks sont aussi excellent!
The atmosphere here is perfect for enjoying food & drinks with friends. The chicken wings are a must-try. They have a charcoal grilled aroma & are super delicious!
Service très très trop lent, j'ai l'impression qu'on nous ignorais tellement ça été long avant d'avoir du service, j'ai failli me lever & aller chercher quelqu'un pour demander à être servie. Même si le service à continué à être très trop long, le serveur était très sympathique. Au la moins nourriture était très bonne, mon chum qui est pas végé du tout a bein trippé sur le burger végé, les drinks avaient rien d'extraordinaire surtout pour le prix.
Lively atmosphere & tasty food & drinks, everything prepared with love & attention. We were welcomed & made to feel like VIPs by Kip & Marie-Michelle -- two very awesome bartenders/people, but in fact everyone we interacted with on staff were simply aces. A kind of place I wish I had in my home town!

Has to be one of my fav spots in Montreal. This place has a unique decor & a very welcoming, relaxed vibe to it. Great to have a drink at but they also serve delicious food. We had the lunch special with toast, soup & banana bread. Five stars 🤩
I came across this bar while bar-hoping with my friends & we all agreed that it would be the perfect place for a date. So I went back with my boyfriend the week after & we were completely right!! The ambience is cozy but energetic, with good music also being on the menu on both of my visits there. The drinks are good, reasonably priced, & the food is as great as its price. But the service... WOW!! Probably one of the most memorable services that I've ever had. The waiter was such a gem, recommending what's on the menu without upselling, being quick with service, & making conversation without being too invasive. Overall, top notch service both times that I've been. I haven't tried their breakfast/brunch menu, but I'd probably go back to try :) I would definitely recommend for a bar date or girls night!

This is a great space! We went for a late night drink & snack, & sat at the round bar. The cider options were plentiful, & the chips & dip a great late night snack. Would love to visit for a meal or coffee on our next visit.
Sitting at the bar as a solo diner was such a great choice. The cute bartender was young, carefree (in a good way), & made some great drinks for me. The scallops were stupid delicious & I loved the vibe of this restaurant. I would definitely come back with friends to share more of their food on the menu.
