Beautiful spot nice building nice windows. parking available but usually quite full 🅿?. Food is great but little less options for brunch. The donuts are to die for. Staff were amazing & super accommodating for our friends & babies. On the pricier side but you get exactly what you paid for food is great!

We went as a big group, around 18 people. The food was excellent! My favorite dish were the Brussels sprouts. The roast chicken itself was amazing but I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms so the sauce provided wasn't my jam but still good! I also really liked the ribs. The dessert course slightly disappointed me, I was expecting more of a pouding chômeur type dessert but I liked the variety offered & they were still good (various donuts, cookie & brownies) Overall it was worth the money.

The location itself is well decorated & very spacious. It's an amazing place for a large group.

Unfortunately I only have pictures of the appetizers

I'd argue there is no better overall restaurant in Montreal than McKiernan. Their menu is always being switched up a bit to offer something new, & they never miss - the food is always a hit, with a great wine selection. I personally salivate over the prime rib.

I recommend going with a group, as McKiernan is best enjoyed when you can pluck things from multiple plates. More cost effective that way. Don't forget to get a donut for dessert!

Overall, I can't recommend McKiernan enough. Amazing resto.

Premium rotisserie/schnitzel spot that is still very reasonably priced for the quality. Order out, date night, large groups, they do it all & they do it extremely well.

Probably the best boston cream donuts in Montreal!

Beautiful place. Really good food. Excellent waiters. Great desserts, especially their famous homemade donuts.
The only downside is the noise level due to their high ceilings.

I rarely give 5 stars, but this place is truly fantastic.

We were visiting from the NY area & went here several times during our stay - it was that good.

Why?

Classy, attentive, no-attitude service.

The best donuts I've ever had (by far). & they serve them daily & had 8 varieties to choose from!!

Finally, a large, pretty airy open interior space stands in stark contrast to some of the cramped interiors in the center of town.

The only criticisms I can think of is 1) while the fries were fresh cut I prefer a thicker cut fry & 2) they could use some more variety re breakfast items offered on their brunch menu.

I really love this spot for dinner. It's got this great, bustling energy without being too loud, making it perfect for a date night. You should definitely try to make a reservation ahead of time if you can.

At first glance, the menu can look a little all over the place, but once the food starts coming out it all makes sense. The roasted chicken is absolutely fantastic, chicken is cooked perfectly & the sauce is so good. The pasta dishes are also a great option with good portion sizes.

For sides, do yourself a favor & get the deviled brussel sprouts. They are seriously delicious & awesome for sharing. You might want to skip the fries, though. They can be a little hit or miss, sometimes coming out a bit overcooked & dry.

A quick tip for dessert: if you're eyeing the donuts, ask your server to set some aside when you first order your meal. They sell out super fast!

A Few Thoughts on Brunch:
I'm probably in the minority here, but the famous brunch double down just isn't for me. I don't get the hype. The hash browns feel both dry & oily at the same time, almost like they were pre-made & then just flash-fried to order. It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd recommend trying something else instead.
As for the service, it was only a mixed bag the last time I went. The hosts at the front were incredible-super helpful & welcoming. But our waitress seemed a little checked out. We all have off days, but it was weird to see her totally happy & chill with other tables but just meh/cold with us. She did perk up when I went to pay with cash, which I found kind of strange.

Overall, I'd still highly recommend this place for a great dinner out.

Update: went back recently, food & service was top notch, 5 stars all around.

If you haven't tried their brunch, RUN don't walk. It was my first time trying it & they did not disappoint! Servers are sooo friendly & fast. We tried the croque madame & the schnitzel sandwich + extra hashbrowns. Everything was sooo delicious! Just perfect portions & very tasty. We also got lattes, they were great! To top it off we ordered 2 donuts: dulce de leche & maple! Exquisite. Will definitely come back to try other items, the place has big windows that light the whole restaurant. The vibes are super nice.

Hidden in an industrial area near the Lachine Canal, McKiernan is a true hidden gem by the team behind Joe Beef.

Don't be fooled by the low-key entrance - inside is a warm, plant-filled space with beautiful natural light & high ceilings. Perfect for brunch, solo time, or a relaxed hangout with friends.

Today's special was a perfectly cooked medium-rare beef with fresh greens - incredibly tender & flavorful. The crispy Brussels sprouts were addictive, like snack food. The rigatoni was rich & satisfying (though not spicy as described).

The cutlet reminded me of a thick, crispy Shanghainese fried pork chop - so good. I also saw someone use hash browns as burger buns with fried chicken… genius idea I'll try next time!

Dessert was a surprise hit - a blueberry cheesecake donut that was juicy & light, not overly sweet. The orange blossom mocktail had a unique Jo Malone-style aroma - floral & refreshing (but wish it came in a bigger glass!).

Friendly service, no rush vibes, way more comfortable than noisy downtown spots. I'll be coming back again & again to try more!

Schnitzel sandwich was good though I felt it was plain & might benefit from more garnish. Donuts were delicious.

I had a delightful lunch during the weekday. Beer (IPA, lager) consumed with roast beef sandwiches & side order of fries. Finished with expresso & shared Boston cream donut made on-site. The food was tasteful, & the service was prompt & excellent. Great decor with luncheon menu to match. It's a little pricy but worthy if looking for something different.

The vibe of this place is great. The waiters/waitresses are super friendly. Great choice for birthday parties. Food is delicious. The dolce de lece donut is to die for.

To say I'm impressed with this place is an understatement!!! Have been 3 times now & each time as exquisite as the last. Yesterday we had the breakfast schnitzel, the chicken salad sandwich special, the hash browns, coffee & a donut & holyyy. Absolutely fantastic. The service is great there, the coffee is strong, the interior is beautiful with a ton of natural light & the high ceilings are great. Over 10/10 breakfast spot & I'm not sure I'll ever come to Montreal again without going here for brunch before we leave

Went on Friday night at 10 ish. Service & food was amazing. We had a variety of dishes to share & everything was delish. Do not skip out on the Brussels sprouts & ribs! Our server Nic recommended an amazing orange wine & we finished dinner off with some donuts. 10/10 experience from start to finish, will definitely be back!

Delicious menu except for their ribs, it's dry & nothing special. Also, the portions are small. As for their brunch, the quiche is excellent while pancakes & hash brown double down could've been executed better. They are very sweet due to an overload amount of maple syrup. On the contrary, their donuts are not, very good..just right amount of flavor, texture, & fillings.

My favorite restaurant in Montreal thus far! I could spend hours here just enjoying the vibe alone, but the food is also spectacular. I particularly enjoyed the roasted chicken & gravy, as well as the donuts. I can't wait to come back.
