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.
Great neighbourhood bar for us that live on the Plateau. I like the place most when it's not really busy, but during the Thursday, Friday & Saturday afternoons/evenings it's going to get busy & loud. If you're meeting friends there, like I said, nice place, but too loud for discussions. More of a party bar when later in the evening. I've eaten there twice & I will not do that again. Surprised how they represent the kitchen as a part of the place & it's not really good.
Then the beer. I always go for the draft beer & I have to admit that I'm disappointed in the Boréale selection they have. I have noticed that more & more pubs in the area offer this beer which is so far from a proper European beer it's a bit sad to think about what beer drinkers here are missing out on.
Visited on September 19, 2021, in late afternoon. This place, located on Saint-Laurent & Marie-Anne, in front of Parc des Portugais, has been opened since 2017 & I'm the first Ratebeerien to rate this place (& to add stuff), so what is so special about Darling, cider! A friend of former Ratebeerien TaktikMtl told him about this place, we meet (for the first time since de pandemic) & when we saw the menu, wow! Eleven ciders on tap, the most I've see was four, plus a good bottle selection. A pretty good beer selection on tap & bottles & cans, some are imported. There other speciality is oysters, in fact it the first thing you see on their menu before the ciders. They also have cocktails, a barista & a small food menu. The inside is very eclectic, seating for just drinking or having a meal, there is a round bar, mismatch decor. The place is just cool.
Highly Recommend!! Everything about this place is charming!! Sit at the bar, lean back ;) try it, grab a book, a beer, a coffee, or a smoothie, & enjoy friendly service too!! We just stopped in for drinks, but the food looked great as well & we loved the atmosphere!
If you are looking for a friendly & cozy place in Montreal, you found it! A wide choice of drinks: lots of ciders, cocktails & beers. The food is also pretty good. I recommend the ribs. The desserts all looked good too but I haven't tried. The music isn't too loud & the place is big but often full. There are a few places outside too but on st Laurent boulevard. The service was a bit slow, especially to order but this place s definitely has a vibe!
Nice atmosphere but bad food & service.We went there as3 friends . The atmosphere was overall good & rustic . Unfortunately, our the food experience was bad. We ordered beers , cheeseburger , Bailey's & french fries were overcooked & burnt. Therefore, we mentioned it to the waitress by pointing out our plate. She didn't even bother herself to say sorry. She was super angry & took the plate & brought the second fries again burnt same . Consequently, we refused the pay tips & she asked us the reason why we didn't pay the tips. We said " The food was burnt." She said " It is not about my service ." This is unacceptable ! If the plate is not okay especially for the second time ,it is the server's duty to forward the burnt food to the kitchen & or the chef. Please show more responsibility to the plates & respect to the customers.

We were here, drank two beers, & they only charged us for one! Maybe the thought my boyfriend was cute? We couldn't figure out if the dress code was "modern day gypsy" or "Mafioso's gay son". 13/10
Excellent selection of beer & cocktails in a beautiful atmosphere! Generally, it's a bit too trendy for my tastes & I wouldn't bother waiting with the crowd who frequently lines up to get in, but the summer patio out front is nice.

Literally my favorite spot/bar in the city. I've been here countless times. Whether it's for a business lunch, date, drinks with friends or simply to work this place is a vibe for every occasion! The food is always on point, they have a huge variety of wines & beers. & the decor & service is always on point. BEST bar the city 👌🏼
