Les avis sur Liverpool House décrivent globalement une expérience culinaire soignée et une ambiance chaleureuse: un service attentif et professionnel, une atmosphère à la fois intime et vivante, et des plats phares comme le tartare de boeuf, le steak frites et des spécialités de fruits de mer, souvent appréciés avec de bons vins et bières locales. Nombreux soulignent la constance de la qualité, les portions adaptées au partage, et des desserts remarquables, ainsi que l'accueil et les conseils du personnel. Les soirées en couple ou entre amis sont fréquemment décrites comme mémorables, avec une terrasse charmante et une ambiance conviviale. Cependant, certains messages évoquent des aspects négatifs: rapport qualité prix parfois jugé moins favorable que l'attente laisse espérer, service inégal ou distrait lors des heures d'affluence, plats trop salés ou des attentes qui ne sont pas toutes satisfaites. Dans l'ensemble, Liverpool House est perçu comme une adresse incontournable pour une cuisine canado française raffinée et généreuse, sans prétention mais avec une attention réelle au détail et à l'accueil.
Amazing food. Definitely not the place to go if you're on a diet, because you'll want to eat it all. Service is very friendly & helpful. Operation is very efficient. Just lived the whole experience.
Really good fancy-ish restaurant with some incredible food!
For appetizers, we got the oysters & we were really impressed with the plating, taste, & especially the horseradish garnish. But that didn't even compare to how good the beef tartare was which we cleared real quick. It had a kind of French onion dip with either roasted potato squares or croutons (we couldn't figure out which). I really hope I can try to replicate that or get it somewhere back home!
Then for the main course, my cousin got the lobster spaghetti, which was a lot of food so she shared some with us & it was really great! I got the roasted duck & peach which had a really good demi-glace sauce. The duck was very tender & meaty which paired well with the sweetness of the roasted peach.
There were hits (beef tartare & fries) & misses (chicken, clam, & succotash), although we appreciate the fries being comped when the server realized the kitchen missed preparing them.
I took some leftover chicken home & realized the inside was still pink. I wasn't paying much attention during the meal & started from the other end, so hopefully didn't ingest much.
Based on this, the restaurant felt overhyped & we had far better experiences with other restaurants at a similar price point.
One of the best beef tartares I've ever had! Everything was delicious, to be honest, but the tartare was a standout. Service was perfunctory, but adequate. Overall a very enjoyable experience!
Absolutely epic food, amazing selection of French-influence Canadian dishes. I went there as part of a large, work-related, post-event party where we all ate family style. Great service, the waiters really know their stuff, & the food was exceptional. It's definitely on the pricier side, but worth it if you're looking for a superior Foodie experience. Everything was excellent. Did not have to wait since we had a large reservation for 20+ people.
I used to be the biggest fan of this place. My husband & I have been coming every year to celebrate our anniversary before wedding & post-wedding. We have raved about & recommended this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice place. The service used to be surprisingly casual for an expensive spot & unpretentious. The food was always incredibly inventive, well portioned & well flavoured. The daily menu used to have a wide array of interesting dishes that were a healthy mix between seafood & game meat.
Now? We recently went & were just shocked. The atmosphere is so different - the decor has shifted, the patrons are mostly all English tourists, the service has become incredibly pretentious & poor: when our server realized we weren't ordering wine, we hardly saw him as he fawned over other tables. The food, while still delicious, has lost all of its nice touches - the fries that come with the steak frites used to come seasoned with tallow & Parmesan, & are now just plain, the tartare used to be accompanied by (laughably) one piece of crisped bread & now comes entirely solo. Even the bread & pickle side has been downsized & includes (quite literally) half a pickle. We were incredibly disappointed this July & will certainly not be going back. There are many other restaurants in the city at a similar price point that are doing more for your money & not making you feel like you don't belong to eat there. It's a shame as for a lot of people, expensive restaurants are for special occasions where people make a conscious decision to allocate their disposable income to celebrate something special. These are not normal evenings for normal folks. & it's reasonable to expect a certain level of service (& by that I mean not being grossly neglected by your server & watching him be omnipresent to many other tables in your sections, or at least having him come by at least once before you finish two courses). Even after emailing the restaurant, it took them several days to respond with a chat gpt response asking about the name on the reservation. They thanked us for'giving them the chance to make it right' & then never heard anything back.
I used to be the biggest fan of this place but truly, spend your money elsewhere.
Pictured: the same dish year over year (steak frites).
Les huîtres, d'une grande fraîcheur, ont agréablement lancé le repas. Les ribs fumées étaient vraiment délicieuses. En revanche, le magret de canard manquait un peu de caractère. Une expérience globalement satisfaisante

Liverpool House in Montreal offers a dining experience that's both refined & deeply satisfying. From the moment you step in, the service is impeccable - professional, warm, & attentive without ever being overbearing. The ambiance is distinctly adult: cozy yet upscale, perfect for an intimate dinner or a special night out with friends. There's a sense of quiet sophistication in the air, balanced with a touch of laid-back charm.
The dishes are a masterclass in culinary craftsmanship. Every plate feels thoughtfully created & executed with precision. The meats are a true highlight: juicy, tender, & cooked to perfection, whether it's a steak, fish or pork. Each bite is layered with flavor, showing a clear attention to quality & technique. Even the sides & starters are memorable - fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, & bold, satisfying combinations.
The beer selection is excellent, featuring local & craft options that pair well with the menu. But it's the wine list that truly shines: thoughtfully curated, diverse, & full of gems for both the casual drinker & seasoned connoisseur.
Liverpool House is a place where the details matter - in service, in food, & in atmosphere. A must-visit for those who appreciate elevated dining without pretension.
I'll start with the good.
The service was excellent. Our waitress was helpful & we never had to ask to fill our wine or water. The salad was really good & tasty dressing.
We made our reservation more than a month ago & got sat by the bar.
When we asked if they had something in the restaurant the guy was just rude(Bad start)
We were told the lobster pasta had 1/2 lobster & a huge bowl of pasta so we shared it.
It arrived with 3 small pieces of lobster from a very small lobster & a regular order of pasta for 1 person. Not worth $71.
I have cooked over 1000 live lobsters in my day & this was not freshly cooked lobster.
In fact it was starting to turn & I paid the price later. Either they use previously cooked lobster or already dead lobster before cooked.
There is no way to have that taste or smell from freshly cooked lobster(sorry but true).
The sauce was just ok & we were both left hungry.
Our friends ordered the fish filet special of the day that we were told could feed 1 1/2 people. I have never seen a fish arrive with nothing on the plate but sauce. $39 & nothing else but the fish on the plate. I was so embarrassed since I picked the restaurant.
We considered ordering more food but decided against it given the 2 mains that we already received.
We were very disappointed!
Really good food & such a great atmosphere. Our favourite of the night was the foie gras breakfast sandwich.
On top of that, the service was great. We had decided to visit the city last minute & their staff happily squeezed us in last minute. Would highly recommend dining here.
Un vrai délice du début à la fin !
On a eu la chance d'essayer Joe Beef & Vin Papillon, deux excellentes adresses… mais Liverpool remporte la palme chez nous.
Les plats étaient savoureux, l'ambiance géniale & le service impeccable - on s'est sentis choyés du début à la fin. Honnêtement, si on pouvait y retourner dès demain, on n'hésiterait pas une seconde (& on prendrait une entrée de plus, juste pour être sûrs).
Une adresse qu'on recommande les yeux fermés… & les fourchettes prêtes !
