Reviews of Macbar et Fromage express disappointment over a notable decline in quality, with at least one location on Ontario St E in Montreal reportedly closed. The mac and cheese, once praised for perfect flavor, al dente pasta and generous cheese, is described as now overcooked with a watery and flavorless roux. In another order, the Montrealais mac and smoked meat was delicious, but the dish arrived without the expected fried cornichons and green onions, which felt like a letdown. A drop in quality since November is repeatedly noted, with comments like the biggest drop of quality seen and statements of being very disappointed and not returning. Overall, the feedback suggests a shift from a beloved comfort option to an experience that leaves customers unsure about returning to the restaurant.
The burger Mac&cheese is like a buttered noodles with sparse cheese & meat on top. The'caramlized onions' are barely sweated they are raw. No taste. Barely any meat. The sauce could have been good. But wasn't enough to mask the bland of the rest.
Im really sad at the downfall of this restaurant. Their mac & cheese used to be perfect; flavourful, pasta aldente & lots of cheese. Now the noodles are overcooked, the roux / sauce is watery & flavourless. Just a shame.

Excellent Mac & cheese, portion parfaite, bonne ambiance & déco dans le resto, serveur sympathique, service ultra rapide! J'aurais dû l'essayer plus tôt!
As a self-proclaimed mac & cheese aficionado, I've found my happy place at this delightful little restaurant. Let me break it down: 1)Creamy Bliss: The mac & cheese here is like a warm hug from Grandma-creamy, cheesy, & utterly comforting. It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes & savor every bite. 2) Staff Magic: But wait, it gets better! The staff? Oh, they're the real MVPs. Friendly faces, genuine smiles, & a knack for making you feel right at home. They know their mac & cheese game, & they're not afraid to share their favorites. 3) Owner's Charm: & let's talk about the owner. Picture the friendliest person you know, multiply that by ten, & you've got the owner of this joint. They'll chat with you about life, sprinkle some extra love on your mac, & maybe even slip you a secret In summary, if you're craving mac & cheese that warms your heart & a staff that feels like family, this place is your golden ticket. Go forth, fellow cheese enthusiast, & indulge! 🧀🎉
Personnel vraiment aimable & chaleureux, mac & cheese classique incontournable bien généreux, idéal autant pour une fin de soirée en ami qu'une sortie en famille!

Amazing Mac & cheese my daughter had the Spanakopita Mac & Cheese & I had the Supreme. Very well worth the drive there 👌 friendly staff & nice atmosphere. My daughter had seen them on tiktok & she made sure we went to try, I'm happy we did. 😀

One of the best mac & cheese I have ever had! We came to Macbar with no understanding of the experience we would partake in. We had amazing cocktails & max & cheese with flavors that blew our minds! The service & great artwork around the restaurant made the night very enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food, fantastic drinks, & a fun time.
We had just arrived in Montreal & were looking for a place to eat lunch. We came upon Macbar & once inside were warmly greeted by Justin, who is one of the owners. Justin couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, & accommodating. Not only was he very welcoming to us but he also prepared a deliciously decadent plate of classic mac n' cheese. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this gooey, cheesy & flavorful masterpiece. Note: This place is newly reopened & takeout only. We highly recommend it. Thank you, Justin! -Andrea & John
