Liverpool House

Had a great time at Liverpool. Service was excellent & the food was even better! Fresh oysters & best lobster spaghetti I've ever had but the surprising number one item was the bread & butter. That was actually THE best butter I've ever had & if Liverpool House wanted to start selling it by the pound in grocery stores I'd be first in line!

At the top of my list were the famed sister restaurants Joe Beef & Liverpool House, which are well known Montreal institutions but which I, like many, had become familiar with via the late Anthony Bourdain. Liverpool House is also where Justin Trudeau once took Barrack Obama for dinner once. Joe Beef was filled up a few weeks in advance but I was able to snag a reservation for one at the bar on a Thursday evening at Liverpool House. & I figured, if it's good enough for Obama it should be OK for me. They have an often-changing menu that varies with the seasons, as well as some regular specialities. They are known for the lobster spaghetti so I had my mind on that going in, but seeing the market price on this day I decided it was just too rich for my blood. I considered the Pork Belly Normandy briefly but, in the end., went with the French bistro classic of steak frites, medium-rare. As an aside, I have decided to try to switch my steak preference from medium to medium-rare, & this as the first time actioning this. While waiting for my dinner I accepted a recommendation for a nice glass of red, made small talk with my neighbor who seemed to work in the restaurant industry & know the staff here, & politely declined the offer to do a shot with them. My neighbour lamented the chef refused to make him a ham & cheese sandwich; I suggested he order it as a Croque Monsieur instead & he thought this may work. I'll handle the sides first. The veg was a wedge of lettuce dressed with a light vinaigrette. The dressing was good but, while it's popular in fancy restaurants, I find this a lazy way to make a salad. I'm not a big fry guy. These had some crisp & were well-salted, & with the mayo I enjoyed them. The steak was served sliced & in a sauce, & was cooked as ordered. It was flavourful & tasty & I savoured every bite. The simple things done well are enjoyable indeed. I'll try to be back my next time in Montreal for sure. A good meal to start my culinary long weekend.

Petit frère du célèbre Joe Beef, ce restaurant est un incontournable de la table montréalaise & du quartier de la Petite Bourgogne, qui regorge de plusieurs belles adresses gourmandes ( Joe Beef, le Vin Papillon, Patrice Pâtissier...). Les plats sont réconfortants & très généreux en goût & en taille. Je viens d'y retourner récemment & toujours aussi bon qu'il y'a 5 ans ! Le service était exceptionnel, merci à toute l'équipe ! Cuisine : ***** Ambiance : ***** Prix : **** Service : ***** + : la terrasse dans la cour arrière - on se croirait dans un restaurant de fruits de mer à Cape Cod Suggestions : - spaghetti au homard; - steak Liverpool mais demandez la cuisson saignant/medium - pour une occasion ou un souper entre gourmands

Food: Lobster spaghetti: Sauce is pretty good. However lobster tail have the texture of Rubber & claw is undercooked. Steak frites: salty, not much flavor otherwise Service: the guy is good, however this place is under stuff & i was going to tell him about the lobster issue but I guess he don't have time to come around. Also they charge tip on top of tax which I find crazy... Atmosphere: noisy- can't hear anything basically. Cramp in small spaces & trying not to knock over plates. Overall it would be okay for a 50 dollar restaurant but at this price point not worth it I would say

There are some hits & misses with our visit. First I am shocked at the rave review the lobster spaghetti is getting. It's the reason I ordered it. It's $35 more than any of the other entre but you are getting so little for that premium. You get a huge mound of spaghetti with one small claw, a knuckle & a half a tail. So $74 for this?!

The duck pie, streak frite & beef tartare were exceptional. They saved our visit & justified the cost.

The blueberry tart was forgettable.

Liverpool House overall met our expectations for a fine dining experience in a casual setting. We were the first seating & glad we came early. Halfway thru our dinner, the noise of the restaurant was extremely loud. I could hear conversations two tables over lol.

I don't think we would go back but we had a good time due to the great service we received. The staff is great.

Liverpool House, nestled in the heart of Montreal, provides an ambiance that is a delightful blend of casual & upscale. Its eclectic menu boasts of a variety of dishes that evoke a fusion of traditional & modern culinary artistry. The oysters & lobster spaghetti are, without a doubt, crowd favorites, a testament to the kitchen's prowess with seafood.

However, Liverpool House is not without its drawbacks. During my visit, the waiting time was noticeably longer than expected, even with a reservation in place. Additionally, while most dishes hit the mark, a few, like the roasted chicken, felt a tad underwhelming, especially given the establishment's reputation & price point.

The staff, though polite, seemed slightly overwhelmed, which affected the overall service speed & attentiveness. Perhaps it was just an off-night, given the high volume of customers.

All in all, Liverpool House offers a good but not impeccable dining experience. It shines in its seafood offerings & ambiance, but there's room for improvement in service & consistency.
