L'ambiance est super cool! La bouffe est bonne & les drinks aussi. Je recommande de faire une réservation comme il y avait un peu d'attente à l'accueil. J'y retournerais, surtout pour l'ambiance cozy mais festive!

Première expérience au Darling sur recommandation d'une amie & je n'ai vraiment pas été déçue! Le tartare de saumon est juste excellent, les frites superbes & le gin à la pêche délicieux, je recommande vraiment!!

Visited several times over several years, & always impressed, whether the table is 1, 2 or 4 people. Oysters, tartares, fries, wines & service always great. I recommend indoor for the decor (tho after dark Friday/Saturday, it gets younger/louder).

Darling is yet another example of a St.Laurent bar with an over priced menu & subpar service. I would recommend this place for the oysters & drinks but that's about it. The waitress was icy with our table initially but she brightened up over the evening & became more friendly which was nice. It was disappointing to receive the oysters after our appetizers were already served which lead to having basically no room on the table, the kitchen should work on their timing skills. We had the tuna'ceviche' & the'bruschetta'. The bruschetta was on fresh focaccia with sliced up cherry tomatoes on top of it with two of the smallest & saddest basil leaves I've ever seen in my life. It's crazy to call that bruschetta, it was a fresh tomato open faced sandwich at best. The ceviche was also confusing as it was 4 thinly sliced square pieces of tuna & some dressing on top. More of a crudo than a ceviche. We also had to kill a mud wasp that was flying around our table. 3 rounds of drinks each, 12 oysters & two appetizers for a whopping 160$ before tip 🥴

I was looking for a place for lunch & stumbled upon this restaurant. It was decorated beautifully with a bright & energetic vibe. Keep in mind if dining with children you will be seated outdoors. The food & service was top notch. We have the Hallomi sandwich & the Darking Club. Both were incredible. The Darling club we had gotten the combo which came with the cantaloupe salad that was to die for! Very good value for your money with top notch service & food. Highly recommend!

Bar agréable & très joli avec un beau menu de cocktails & de vins. Le service est bien, mais ça prend du temps avant de venir ramasser les verres vides. Sinon je recommande!

Ordered the Beef Tartakis. When I tell you my soul left my body, ascended to the heavens & came back to me with every single bite I took. I gave my compliments to the chef. Now I think about that meal almost every day & I don't even like mushrooms. 11/10 would recommend. Also took the Bellini Darling cocktail & it was pretty good.

So this review is long overdue as I've been coming here pretty frequently for the better part of 3 years because it has now turned into'my spot.' Over those 3 years I have brought everyone I know & have recommended this place countless times when I've been asked for a'Montreal vibe' of a restaurant & it's exactly that. Whether it's Monday or Saturday night this place is packed & rightly so + it doubles as a cafe in the morning with brunch on the weekends that smacks. The food has NEVER missed & I quite literally mean never, they have something for everyone + it changes & they have specials sometimes. The vibe is ever present & I know no better way of explaining it other than'it feels like Montreal.' The service also never misses & I thank Laurence for that, she's honestly been amazing every single time I've came. This isn't an add by the way*** I could go on but it's getting long. I just genuinely love this place so much & they deserve alll the business.

Nice place. Was a bit loud to my taste, & the food was on the pricey side, but overall, I would still recommend for a chill place to go with friends

Glad a lot of people are giving good reviews, But I've got to give mine, the atmosphere is great, Things that were not meeting my expectations : - The table was sticky (On my side when I've arrived) I can't take this as an excuse, coming from someone who get to visits (Restaurants/Bar) almost every single day of the week, hygiene is a standard & a must. - Representation matters for any business, some waiter(s) need(s) to be better when interacting, don't roll his eyes up & when people smile to you at least try to reach some compatibility. The reason I'm not giving it 0, the atmosphere was kind of cool, location not far from my place neither my surroundings, but I would definetly not recommend for those who I know neither the ones who will be joining as visitors or tourists.

Last Monday me & my sister had a wonderful experience for lunch. It was the last day & rainy & we couldn't have picked a more amazing spot! So welcoming & made sure we were comfortable. The entire staff extremely friendly, especially Marco! He helped us pick the best drinks for what we were looking for, food was DELICIOUS & fast! I highly recommend this place & will be coming back every time we visit. Ask for Marco he was seriously amazing & even helped us learn our French we got books to learn (touristy, yes know but don't care 😂) but we did drink wine like the French while learning.

The ambiance of the bar is great. Very spacious as well. However, the food was not good. I know 5 people at our large table that ordered their steaks in a very specific way & they all came back rare - despite nobody ordering rare. Myself & my friend both ordered the ribs. They were dry, difficult to eat, & not very good for a whopping price of $23. My friend wanted to send hers back & the server told you "well this is what you ordered". I've never seen a server act like that when a customer has a problem with their food. The food is also very small portions for what you're getting. Drinks are also expensive for the sizes you're getting. Our server also seemed annoyed every time we wanted to order more drinks or had any questions. We caught her rolling her eyes at our table too. There is no organization to this place either. It was hard to order anything after placing our food orders, as our server never came to our table to check in on us. & upon wanting the bill, she did not ask how we wanted the bills split, & instead she came with bills for each individual person when there were multiple couples at the table that wanted our meals on the same bill. I've never had such an unpleasant server at a bar or restaurant before. She made our group feel very unwelcome & annoying. I would never go back to this location. Maybe you get better service as a smaller group, but if you're a big group, I don't recommend.

What a cozy little bar! Stopped in during a business trip to Montreal for some drinks & snacks & really enjoyed it. The food was EXCEPTIONAL - the olives & lupini beans were delicious! We actually ended up coming back a second time during the trip because of how good it was. Highly recommend visiting!
