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 bistro-bar. Good place for drinks or dinner. They often have a live band at night. The food is fusion so don't expect the dishes to be authentic. I came for dinner. They have tiny tables for 2 so if you plan on ordering lots of food, ask to be seated at the bigger table. I tried the takoyaki & pork bao as appetizers. The takoyaki was good but not crispy enough. The pork baos were quite big. The buns were soft & fluffy. They were very generous with the pork. For my main course, I had the vegetarian Yaki Udon with crispy tofu. I loved the mushroom sauce on the udon. Delicious. However the huge piece of crispy tofu didn't impress me. It was quite bland. I would have prefered small pieces of tofu. For dessert, I tried the hazelnut cake. It was ok.
I had high hopes from MajesThé. Next to a great Korean restaurant, cute ambience, great reviews. What could go wrong? This has to be the whitest Asian restaurant on this island. We had the Taiwanese pork bao buns, the lamb chops, the portobello mushrooms, the salmon tartare, a cauliflower thing, lamb skewers, & this new Cajun gumbo they were trying out. Everything was so bland! & the flavours were all unbalanced. Seemed to me like that there was the same mayo & soy sauce dressing on everything! The best thing was the lamb chops & they were just OK. The salad for the lamb chops were better than the lamb chops themselves. The worst was the new Cajun gumbo they were trying. Every single seafood item was overcooked & the flavours were just black pepper & butter. The absolute worst version I have ever had. The service was also so slow. There were only two tables & it took us a long time to flag down our waiter to take our order, even when mentioned to that I was in a hurry. The bartender was supposed to come up earlier & talk to me about possible cocktail choices & he only came up mid meal. Everybody else in my party were halfway through their drinks. It pained me to pay 146 CAD with tax for 3 peope. Came up to 167 CAD with tip.
Amazing hidden gem! I've been there three times now. Twice in a row this week 😂 I brought all my friends tonight. Great menu with options for many dietary requirements. Friendly staff & VERY FAST service. Food comes out really quickly. The BEST part about this cool space is that it's a resto/bar that serves bubble tea! They have two milk teas & one fruit tea option. The sober people have fun drinks in tall glasses too! No dairy free option for the milk teas though. My friends loved the whiskey sour. They have live music sometimes too. You must try the pork Bao & tiger prawn Bao. Their salads are dressed really nicely too. Thank you! See you soon

Awesome discover we made in Montreal!
Everything was perfect.
We celebrate our 1st anniversary & we made a great choise.
This is going to be part of our history ♥️
Nice decor & spacious. The service is friendly but they are understaffed on busy evenings so can be slow to get to you. Menu is a mix of Western & Asian with a slight bend towards Korean & Japanese. Food tastes good but some dishes are quite overpriced. Ordered the eel dish from the evening menu & got half a bowl of rice, about 5 small pieces of eel & 3 small nori sheets. It looked like a kid's dish. No need to say, that I had to order another main to fill up. Pork belly bao was tasty but again rather pricey. Definitely not the best option for Asian food in town but its proximity to McGill in the downtown core can make it convenient.
We went with a group of friends on January 2nd, when the lobby was empty. Vibe was immaculate. Lighting was romantic. Tall tables had hooks for our clothes, The signature curry omurice's portion was very generous. & by spicy option, they mean it. Our waiter, Lis, was good at their job & even helped us take group photos. We were all very happy & full at the end.
We got lost, it's inside down the stairs & down another set of stairs. There's street parking. Friendly staff, nice service. It's a small place with some table & a bar. We only order drinks. We didn't get to enjoy the food but we will try again another day.
We were told after arriving for a 7 pm reservation that live music would start at 8 & we would have to buy additional drinks if we wanted to stay. I would not have made the reservation if I had known beforehand.
Best restaurant I've ever been to in Montréal! Staff was amazing, food was even better. Vibes were immaculate, great place to get together with friends.
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!
