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.
Overall, MajesThé Bistro Bar comes across as a warm, lively Taiwanese Asian fusion spot with a wide menu that shines on baos, karaage chicken, udon, curry and braised pork, offering generous portions, fair prices and fresh, craveable flavors. The vibe is friendly with attentive service and a crowd that enjoys pre night out outings, karaoke on weekends and inventive cocktails and bubble tea drinks, and the team is praised for accommodating dietary needs with advance planning. Many reviews note reliable, quick service and a cozy atmosphere even when space is compact or in a basement, though a few mention a colder or darker ambiance and occasional missteps like overcooked or reheated dishes. The new location is anticipated with enthusiasm and improvements, and overall this spot is valued for its variety, value, and memorable experiences, including great live music and a welcoming atmosphere.
I've been to this place a couple of times now & it's always been fun! Fast service & a big menu. Everything tastes good & they usually have theme nights (Friday karaoke & Saturday jazz). For lunch the menu is smaller but they have all the popular dishes & there's less people so it's a nice place for a relaxing lunch.
Even though it's a bar, the main dishes are surprisingly delicious! I especially love the Taiwanese Basil Fried Chicken-it's super authentic! The new Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs with Rice is also amazing! The honey-based sauce that comes with it is really special, definitely worth a try! The egg fried rice has a great wok flavor, & the spicy option uses fresh chili peppers, which shows how skilled the chef is. The service is also great-very friendly! Overall, it's a restaurant with great value for the price!

I had lunch with two others there during a visit to McGill university in early November of 2024. We ordered a total of four or five dishes. The prices were very reasonable. The service was good. The food was plentiful & very tasty. I will gladly go there again.
I had an amazing time there! I went for a birthday celebration & everything was just perfect-the atmosphere, the jazz performance, & the food came out really quickly. A big thanks to the fantastic customer service, especially to our waitress Amanda, who did an incredible job handling our large group in such a short time. I'll definitely be back!
Amazing food & a great selection of drinks & cocktails. Will definitely become a monthly customer at this restaurant & bar! The staff was also very friendly & helpful when ordering food & also took note of allergies to make sure nothing bad would happen.

Accidental find. Lunchtime Japanese style vegetarian curry absolutely on point & delicious. Discount at lunch made affordable lunch to be even more so.
One of the best fried rice dishes i have ever had. Absolutely amazing. Pork belly was also great. The salad was really lacking but the food was good still i really enjoyed it.
This place is a complete diamond in the rough & I don't know why it's not more well known. Food & Drink: As the child of Taiwanese immigrants, I'm pretty picky when it comes to Taiwanese food. MajesThé's food is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Everything we had was good but highlights include the beef noodle soup, the Japanese chicken fried udon, & the Taiwanese basil fried chicken. They also have a great beverage program with delicious & creative cocktails using a lot of East Asian flavors you don't usually see. Service: Amanda, our server, was awesome. She had great energy & did a great job managing a table of 8. 4 of our table had gluten allergy/sensitivity & she did a great job making recommendations on dishes, amounts, etc. to make sure everyone was well fed. Our water cups were never empty, we never had to wait to order drinks, & the food arrived promptly without any mistakes. 5 stars for Amanda (If management sees this, she needs a raise) Vibe: Last but not least, the vibe was immaculate. It straddles the line of lively & chill in a great way. It's relatively dimly lit with a great mix of lounge seating, tables, & high tops. There was a great live band playing the night we were there playing funk/rock fusion. My friends & I loved it here & will make a point to visit anytime we are in Montreal.
My brother & I had a wonderful experience at MajesThé. A great place for dinner, drinks with amazing hospitality. A personal Thank You to the owner, & I look forward to returning very soon!
We came here with a group of eight & Amanda took awesome care of us. The food was outstanding, the drinks were great, & the band killed it all night! We're definitely coming back!
