Patrons describe Le Trèfle Taverne Irlandaise as a cozy, lively pub with a broad beer selection and a welcoming tavern vibe that suits both casual drinks and weekend brunch. The brunch offering draws particular praise for classics like Benedicts and Irish specialties, and the food in general is often described as tasty and generously portioned, with several dishes such as boudin, ham, and duck sandwich receiving high marks, while some items like fries occasionally fall short and prices can feel steep. The atmosphere is repeatedly called convivial and warm, with a bustling crowd and, when weather cooperates, a pleasant terrace; however, winter visits can be uncomfortable due to cold drafts and a dining room that can feel chilly. Service is described as friendly and efficient by many, though some reviews report slow or inconsistent attention, difficulties with getting drinks or checks, and in a few cases feeling unwelcomed or overcharged. Overall, the pub is seen as a strong favorite for beers and social dining, with room for improvement in climate comfort, family accessibility, and consistent service.
Food is very good, though definitely on the pricier side for an Irish pub.
Service leaves a bit to be desired. 5-10 minutes for drinks, appetizers coming after the main course, & our waiter had to be reminded to bring the check multiple times.
Its a beautiful pub. The drinks are good. The food is sad. This is an Irish pub, I expected corned beef & cabbage, Shepard's pie, lamb chops, bangers & mash... the food is seriously lacking in that regard. The service is nothing special & staff is borderline rude.
Mussels tasted off, Irish stew was bland & fish n chips was a child's portion of fish. Really good fries. Beer was cold & good though, friendly attentive service & nice dark pub. Best to stick to beer & fries. Waitress was extremely nice & caring.

Plutôt décevant... Nous avions très envie d'essayer ce pub, mais malheureusement les plats n'étaient pas exceptionnels & peu généreux. Le plateau à partager ne nous a même pas coupé l'appétit à 2. Gâteau au chocolat semble être sorti du frigo, pas du tout représentatif de ce que nous pensions commander. Sangria plutôt chère. Service au départ agréable puis lent & peu attentionné.
First time at this local Irish Pub on Wellington. Honestly expected more. The food was ok for pub food but service fell short. We had to ask for ketchup & waited for one tiny paper cup ( we were 4 ppl ). The waiter seemed unfriendly & lacked any personality. There are much better choices to get pub food in Montreal. Oh & to top it off the water in the bathroom sink was shut off!

Their chili & chips tasted like there was ketchup & barbecue sauce in it. Very disappointing. A little silly that they can't offer fries or poutine on their late night food menu. My cocktail was good, can't remember the name though. Typical pub atmosphere. Service was alright.
