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.
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.
Had dinner at the newest location, was as tasty & fresh as we remembered. I'm hoping the current set up is temporary as they settle into the new space, it was quite cold both in ambiance & temperature but I'm sure it'll be adjusted over time. Looking forward to seeing it finalized!
Way too dark inside, the fried chicken was literally half burnt, & everything else tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave or air fryer. Definitely not worth it.
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.

Went here during my friend's Bachelorette weekend, & we absolutely loved this spot!! Delicious bubble tea-inspired cocktails & amazing food for reasonable prices. Karaoke was also a blast!
Karaage Chicken was a HIT! Sooo good, 10/10. Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Rice) was very flavourful & delicate, a HIT! Decent portion & affordable too. Servers were very friendly. Cocktails were a tad bit small though.
Amazing Taiwanese & fusion cuisine with big portion sizes & creative cocktails (including spiked BBT). Service was top-notch & friendly, & it's so convenient (right next to McGill & the metro), making it a top bar in Montreal. The only thing is that people may not know about it since it's underground, but don't let that deter you. From the second you're seated, it's a great experience. I loved the fried chicken, truffle fries, & juicy baos the most, but pretty much everything on the menu is a hit. I always swing by when I'm in the area.

The photo doesn't really do it justice. Great value for the quality of food. I suggest the omurice chicken Katsu curry or the pork belly bun.
Very filling & the price would be 5-8$ more at other restaurants, especially in the plateau area. It's in the basement but it has a cozy vibe, & I went on a Saturday & they had a free jazz band.
I tasted the lychee spritz was good also, it's good for non alcoholic drinkers as well.
Younger crowd, great place for either a date or chill vibes with friends.
Also inexpensive Japanese whisky flights. Great value overall & decently large menu.
A Really nice discovery, We weren't sure we were in the right place at first. We followed the signs after some stair behind a strange wooden door to find this amazing restaurant. The food was good, the service was quick & the ambiance was cozy. I had the chicken katsu curry omurice it was good, the only downside was that the curry was a bit to liquid & the chunk of potatoes where realy huge. My girlfriend took the chicken karaage salad bowl it was a bit spicy but not to much & we split an sides of 4 takoyaki.
