Reviews describe Le Marché des Éclusiers as a beautiful riverside spot with a superb terrace and water views that make it a popular summer destination, with the setting and ambiance regularly praised along with outdoor seating and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The food earns generally strong marks with burrata, poutine, fish and chips, ceviche and other dishes noted as tasty, though some guests find prices high or certain items not consistent. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive and professional, with many calling out memorable hospitality, while other comments point to slow service, inconsistent staffing and occasional misses such as delayed drinks or miscommunications about the menu. The terrace is often highlighted as the best feature, sometimes contrasted with indoor seating where chairs and bar height can be uncomfortable, and the music level is cited as pleasant or occasionally too loud. Overall the reviews converge on a recommendation to visit for the ambiance, the canal side location and solid quality, with plans to return to enjoy the terrace, the drinks, and the welcoming staff.
Belle grande terrasse, l ambiance est bonne. Le service est correct sans plus... Les cocktails sont bons rien d exceptionnel. Un côté du bar est pourvu de chaises régulières au lieu de tabourets... très bizarre & inconfortable car le bar n a clairement pas la même hauteur qu une table. Il serait primordial d investir dans des tabourets appropriés & laisser les chaises pour les tables... non?
Belle terrasse sur le bord de l'eau. Service parfait. C'était en après midi, nous avons pris le plat de charcuterie & fromage, très bon choix d'aliments, un peu cher mais c'est le vieux Montréal. Seul bémol, dans le menu boisson, il n'y a pas beaucoup de choix, j'ai pris la sangria blanche que je n'ai pas aimé du tout. A la fin, le serveur m'a dit qu'ils ont tous les cocktails classique mais qu'ils ne sont pas dans le menu. Ca devrait être indiqué dans le nenu ou le serveur devrait nous le dire, j'étais pas mal déçue.

Très bonne soirée, cocktails généreux & plateau de charcuterie/fromage bien dosé. L'ambiance est décontractée, belle vue & tranquillité grâce à une musique pas trop forte. Pour un samedi soir c'était peu bruyant! Mention d'honneur à Issan, il a fait notre soirée avec son sens de l'écoute & son service hors pair; on s'est vraiment sentis privilégiés. On reviendra certainement faire un tour en espérant le recroiser!
Service was quite slow although the place wasn't full. Took about 20min to get a table although 5+ tables were free with only 2 groups in front of us. Cocktails were fine, nut overpriced. We did not get anything to eat, although everything looked good (but once again seemed overpriced) View isn't spectacular, music was loud. Service was ok, but the bar was understaffed so it took some time to get our order. For the old port, it's a fine option for a quick bite outside.
I have no idea why this place has such a low rating - we had an amazing lunch here just recently! Service was excellent, food tasted wonderful & came out fast, the atmosphere was awesome on a sunny summer day (we sat outside), & we were allowed to bring our dog to the restaurant, which was very nice!! Prices were actually quite reasonable (coming from someone from the US), & we got a whole bunch of different things from their new menu. A great non-alcoholic cocktail, salmon tartare, chorizo with chimichurri, burrata caprese salad with strawberries, truffle fries, fresh focaccia bread, & shrimp ceviche - everything was super good! All the food tasted fresh, & our favorites were the chorizo & the burrata caprese salad. Honestly, this seems like one of the places you can get whatever you want & still be very happy with your meal. It is a tapas-style restaurant, so feel free to order a few different things & try something unique out! You'll enjoy it!

Had a great selection of appies. Price on high side but was good quality. Great patio with nice surroundings. Highly recommend for outdoor cocktails & happy hour.
Super belle terrasse. Serveurs supers gentils. Drinks mauvais pas assez variés les cocktails. Il te manque un vodka fruité. La sangria coûte un bras. Les serveurs ne savent pas comment nous conseiller vraiment. Nourriture pas trop cher, mais ordinaire vraiment. Tu viens pour le vue, l'ambiance, prendre l'air.... Quand m même eu du plaisirs. Merci!

Comment dire... mieux ce serait peut être illégal 😄 l'ambiance parfaite pour un chilling seul, en tête à tête ou petit groupe d'amis. Je ne comprends pas bien les feedbacks négatifs. Tout le monde est gentil, souriant, prêt rendre service. Il fait chaud, il y a souvent beaucoup de monde, & tout le monde souhaite être servi dans les plus brefs délais. Les cocktails sont exquis. La maison ne prétends pas faire de la gastronomie, cependant les plats/tapas sont plein d'arômes & la cuisson est très bien maîtrisée. & se sont des tapas, tabarnak ! Si vous voulez de la haute cuisine & un service d'école hôtelière, il y a d'autres adresses. Oh &, clairement, si vous arrivez avec une attitude, vous risquez d'être très frustré(e) de l'expérience 😂 Sur ce, santé 🍸
Awful - the waiter (with the beard) was zero welcoming & passive aggressive. I asked what was the mocktail of the day, which is clearly stated on the menu, & he just replied, I don't know... the nachos were cold, barely any cheese on top. Patatas bravas overcooked, brownish color, the sauce had no spice. My friend asked for a second cocktail, it took them over 15 minutes to bring it on the table. Tipping has become out of control, starts at 18% & while I tried to modify it to a lower amount given the experience, the guy was behind me putting so much pressure on tipping & gave no help with the machine. It used to be a good place.
Lieux sympa pour boire un verre entre amis & partager quelques tapas. Petit bémol, il y avait beaucoup de choix sur la carte mais les cuisines n’avaient plus les 3/4… À part ça, les cocktails étaient bons mais un peu cher & le service très sympa mais un peu insistant pour commander ! Je recommande quand même. Pour plus de tips @favplacestogo sur Instagram 👀
