Despite occasional critiques about value or specific menu items, the overall sentiment remains largely positive, with frequent mentions of the restaurant as a must-visit destination in Montreal for those seeking a vibrant and welcoming culinary experience.
This was the first meal I had in Montreal, & boy, was it incredible. The lobster spaghetti & duck were both so perfectly cooked & rich in flavour. Expensive, yes, but definitely worth it if you're looking for a nice dinner.
Liverpool felt like a well run ship. We made reservations for our party of 6, were greeted & seated immediately, & had wine to taste within 10 mins of arrival. The standard menu was lovely & had various steak, fish or pasta options but they also offered a wide array of specials. Service was top notch, with multiple staff members being attentive & welcoming. We traveled with a picky eater & they were able to accommodate her requests. Liverpool House does not disappoint!

Here's my honest feedback about this place!
Absolutely love the vibe, it was packed, it was cool, we made friends with the table next to us. Super social place & very nice & friendly staff!
Now for the food only commenting on what we ordered & tried:
1- Burrata salad (super basic in my humble opinion) very simple almost to a point where there was no flavor (a bit of salt & pepper could've helped). I wish the veggies were charcoaled at least to add extra hint of flavor. Will not order again.
2- Fish dish on special (not part of the regular menu). Fantastic crisp finish, beautiful white tasty fish inside. Green sauce was a nice addition.
3- Steak & fries (the wining dish of the night). I haven't had steak that melts like butter in such a long time. Fries were delicious too, but the steak texture & bite was incredible. (A must order dish).
4- Lobster pasta. For me personally didn't do the trick. Pasta was nicely cooked, lobster tasted okay, however there was no overall flavor to the dish. There was a bit of bitterness in the sauce. (Will not order again).
5- Banoffee dessert: the worst dish of the night. It was my birthday & Banoffee is my favorite dessert. Couldn't understand how they okayed this version. I think the picture alone says a-lot.
Again this is personal opinion! Will I come back again? YES!! What will I order? The Foie Gras breakfast sandwich.
Went for dinner & wine , the steak was delicious & the rabbit pie was out of this world 10/10!! Atmosphere is very cozy , we got a nice corner table & the staff are amazing, seriously good service & friendly people . We will most certainly be back !
Excellent repas au Liverpool House! Nous avions déjà essayé leurs restaurants frères & nous ne sommes jamais déçus. Le spaghetti au homard , un grand classique, était délicieux. Belle ambiance & excellent service.
This restaurant is overhyped, no longer what it used to be. We had high expectations from previous visits years ago. It seems like the restaurant has sold out to push out dishes that they became popular for, with little awareness for seasonal produce or quality. We were late for our reservation & the staff was more than accommodating & kind about this. I really appreciate this & want to thank them for this. However, their friendliness & courtesy towards us does not make up for the poor quality of food here, particularly given the price point.
A long time ago, we went to Liverpool House & experienced an amazing meal - seasonal, fresh, simple yet innovative with amazing execution. Everything was made in house & delicious.
Now, the menu is old & lacking anything inspiring. I am sure you could go here week after week without a new thing appearing. However, my biggest issue was that nothing was executed well. My beer was served cool, not cold. Our oysters had shell in them & we even sent one back when it arrived at the table due to the shell having a hole in it - something that should have been noticed before arriving at our table. We ordered the crudite radishes (one of the few things on the menu that was seasonal??). They were watery & a bit dirty, not at all prime produce. I sat at the table scraping bits of dirt & sad radish off. We also got a burrata & fennel salad, which came with blood orange wedges in June. It was weighed down by heavy vinaigrette. A burrata salad with vegetables is pretty easy to execute & change up according to the season. Why wasn't this redone for spring/early summer? I got the lobster spaghetti which tasted of alcohol. This is on the menu constantly, so this should have been done to perfection. It was thirty degrees outside, a heat wave, & the only main course special was mac & cheese. Truly, confused about the kitchen's vision & ability to gauge what the client wants, let alone execute on it.
Overall, we were so disappointed & won't be back. Many people love the (wintery) dishes that seem to be on the menu consistently. I was so looking forward to a night out to experience the produce of now. It was my birthday & we skipped dessert because everything had been so lacklustre. The staff was friendly, but could tell that patience was thin for newer members that had little training (train your staff!). The name of Liverpool House is not what it used to signify.
