New wave bubble tea shop that serves eleven types of cold tea lattes, pretty desserts (see this matcha sponge cake, with raspberry mousse, mango and raspberry purée, and matcha crumble), and a variety of stylish brunch and lunch plates, from eggs Benedict with bacon candy and Chinese sausage bits, to a chic croissanwich.
MajesThé Bistro Bar comes across in reviews as a versatile spot with strong Taiwanese fusion flavors and hearty portions, offering items like bao buns, karaage, curry omurice, udon, fried rice, pork belly and takoyaki that are described as fresh, flavorful and reasonably priced. The dining experience is defined by warm, friendly service and attentive staff, with many notes about accommodating dietary needs such as gluten-free options while keeping pans clean and flavors intact. The atmosphere blends a cozy basement vibe with live music and occasional karaoke, making it a popular pre-night-out choice and a good venue for groups or events, though a few reviewers mention the space being small, a bit dark, or chilly at times during the winter. Move to a new location is mentioned, with the transition not dampening overall satisfaction for most, and the value and quality are repeatedly praised alongside recommendations for trying omurice, katsu curry and the bao variations.
Staff are sweethearts, food is excellent & affordable, you can hear the karaage crisp from a mile away, spicy mayo that's actually spicy for once, recommend.
Nous avons eu un service exceptionnel de la part de Kreeve & la nourriture était simplement excellente! D'énormes portions aux prix justes, de bonnes saveurs & une ambiance super avec de la bonne musique & un magnifique décor. La seule chose est que l'entrée est extrêmement glissante quand il neige & que nous pensions au début que le restaurant était fermé parce que la porte d'à côté au nom du restaurant est barrée. Je recommande chaudement!

Great food for cheap! I took a karaage bao expecting it to be small but it was generously big. The chicken was super crunchy, but I do think the spicy mayo overpowered the rest of the flavours of the bao a bit (chicken, veggies, etc).
Service was really quick & friendly (we were a group of 6 a Wednesday evening at their new location). It was a bit cold inside. Seatings are diverse: high chairs & low chairs. Despite the restaurant being small, you still had enough space to be comfortable. There's space to hang your clothes too so you don't have to keep your big coats with you at the table.
I also recommend ordering the takoyakis; out of many takoyakis I ate at other places, the ones at MajesThé are def one of the best. They're big & well toasted.
If you're a group of 5+, reservation is recommended as the restaurant (well at least, for their location as of January 7 2026) is quite small.
I've been to MajesThe 10+ times over the past year, & it is by far one of my favourite bars in Montreal. There is a nice variety of great food, but the grilled chicken (available for dinner only) particularly stands out. That being said, the staff at MajesThe are really what makes this place shine. They always provide exceptional service, even when they are super busy & managing large groups. & the vibes for Friday night karaoke (starting at 8pm) are always S-tier! Genuinely, I cannot recommend this place enough.
The cocktails were fantastic & the food was really good. I had calamari bit greasy but good, braised "3 cup" chicken that was recommended, & did not disappoint. I also had the sesame balls for dessert. Service forgot one of my drinks but made up for it with a free round for our table. Overall, it's definitely has a cozy bar vibe. My issue with it was the atmosphere. Bathrooms were so dark that you needed those big night vision glasses from Jurassic Park. & the seating was these tiny metal stools. It's not the best for long sitting. I do recommend it, though.

Fantastic jam sessions with Sean "Cat" Elliot & al!!! Toe stomping music. Great service & Asian fusion food. Once discovered it will become a very inspiring habit!! Highly recommended.
I went for a live jazz evening & had a wonderful time! What a hidden gem! It's well worth finding if you want to have a nice evening with some awesome food, friendly staff, good drinks, & live music. One of the staff even went up & sang with the Jazz group for a while, & she was great! I recommend Majesthé unreservedly. The food, ambiance, & entertainment are all great.
24/01/2024: Ils ont déménagé au sous-sol. Concept complètement différent. Chaises & tables inconfortables mais la nourriture est bonne. Je recommande moins pour l'heure du lunch. 27/09/2019: Super service même si j'ai pris seulement un Bubble tea pour emporté, l'un des meilleurs de Montréal jusqu'à maintenant. Petit bémol sur la langue française mais ils me comprenaient quand même.Ils ont plus de difficultés avec le service sur l'heure du dîner & les deux responsables des commandes ne parlaient pas français du tout.
C'est un lieu fort sympathique au rythme de la vie Montréalaise & d'un jazz de bon goût. La serveuse qui s'est occupée de nous est absolument adorable. Souriante, & amicale elle a été rapide & efficace. Les repas sont vraiment exceptionnels, surtout le poulet karaage & sa sauce! Il vous fera tomber à la renverse de saveur. Je ne peux que vous recommander cet endroit merveilleux.

10/10 amazing classy establishment with delicious food at a VERY affordable price. The ambience is perfect for a date night or for a group get-together, as they had live jazz music on the Saturday that we went which was a surprise! Happy to have gone with my group of friends! Drinks were top notch, food was tasty, & service was extremely attentive. We were served by Brandon & Tristan & they were simply the best. Would recommend!
We enjoyed our first visit to the restaurant. I personally love the concept, the ambiance & the food. I would definitely come back & would recommend your restaurant.
Very cute hidden place under ganarada. Food was great, service was excellent, cocktails were delicious. Everything was perfect! We got the Kalbi beef (highly recommended), the pork baos (amazing), the special shrimp baos (delicious) & the three cup chicken (my least favorite). Go!!
