Le Darling ressort comme une adresse conviviale et vibrante, avec une décoration vintage et éclectique qui crée une ambiance unique et chaleureuse propice aux sorties entre amis ou en couple. L'ambiance est décrite comme cosy et dynamique, le cadre et la musique soutiennent une expérience mémorable même en période d'affluence, et le service est en général apprécié pour son efficacité et son attention. Les cocktails et les boissons sont régulièrement salués, tout comme des plats tels que les huîtres, le tartare de boeuf, la burrata, la focaccia et le popcorn chicken, avec des mentions particulières pour le burger et les plats de brasserie; mais certaines critiques signalent des portions modestes ou des prix élevés et des temps d'attente plus longs au brunch ou en soirée. D'autres retours évoquent une terrasse agréable, un brunch généreux et une ambiance de bar-salle de speakeasy, parfois bruyante lorsque le lieu est bondé. Le conseil général est de réserver et d'arriver tôt lors des soirées, et même si quelques expériences déplorent un service lent ou un manque d'options végétariennes, l'ensemble reste largement positif, donnant à Le Darling l'étiquette d'une halte prisée pour le cadre, les cocktails et l'ambiance pour des sorties entre amis, des rendez-vous ou des soirées décontractées.
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!
Cozy, aesthetic bar which is now decorated for the holidays. We had to wait for about 30 mins outside on a friday night. But once we were, inside our server was quick with our food & drinks.

Experience is great, the place is very nice & well frequented. The atmosphere is cozy without being snobby. Food is not that good specifically for sharing
If you're looking for a restaurant with charming old-world decor & a cozy atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. The interior design perfectly balances rustic elegance with a touch of nostalgia, creating a warm & inviting setting for any occasion. The highlight of my meal was the smoked salmon, which was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. It's clear they put care into both the quality of the ingredients & the preparation. The staff was equally impressive-attentive, friendly, & professional without being intrusive. They contributed to the overall pleasant experience & made me feel genuinely welcome. Overall, this restaurant offers a delightful combination of excellent food, great service, & a unique ambiance. I'll definitely be returning!
Great place to go & work, & go from coffee to drinks. The place goes from a cozy & big cafe to this super social space as the sun goes down. Food is a wee bit expensive for my budget. Still, always visiting when I'm on Montreal 🙏
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!
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!
The cozy antique-esque atmosphere is great. My friends & I arrived just before 11pm & the kitchen was closing but we were able to order a matcha dessert, which was delicious. I had a Moscow mule to drink, & did not like it. It did not come in a chilled copper mug & flavour did not taste like a typical Moscow mule. Overall, I really liked the vibe of le darling. The service was very average. Not the best bar along Saint Laurent but would be open to trying again if my friends want to go.

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!
