Les équipes de Joe Beef et de Maison publique s’unissent sur un nouveau projet, McKiernan - Traiteur Luncheonette Rôtisserie. Installé au deuxième étage du Complexe Dompark, un immeuble industriel situé le long du canal Lachine
McKiernan est un espace chaleureux et lumineux avec une atmosphère conviviale et familiale, où les plats sont souvent salués, notamment les choux de Bruxelles, le poulet rôtisserie, le schnitzel, le rôti de boeuf et les donuts, et le menu familial ou en portions individuelles facilite les repas en groupe et les célébrations; le brunch est également apprécié pour sa valeur et sa variété. L'ambiance est vive et accueillante, dans un cadre industriel chic avec une belle lumière naturelle, bien que certains trouvent le niveau sonore élevé et l'expérience parfois chaotique lorsque le service est surchargé. Le service reçoit des mentions positives pour la gentillesse et l'attention, mais plusieurs avis signalent un rythme inégal et quelques oublis, avec des soirées où le service est lent ou peu cohérent et où les additions ou les politiques (pourboire, etc.) peuvent décevoir. Plusieurs clients notent le parking pratique et la possibilité de réserver; le personnel fait parfois des gestes pour améliorer l'expérience, comme offrir un dessert ou accommoder les groupes. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience est décrite comme délicieuse et agréable, avec des plats réconfortants de grande qualité, faisant de McKiernan une adresse prisée pour les groupes et les célébrations, malgré quelques visites à améliorer en cohérence et en gestion du bruit.
Came here for brunch today. Ordered the beetroot salad with ricotta, it was very fresh & tasty, coffee was great & got a snitzel sandwich. Music was nostalgic & fun (elton john, the beatles….) & vibe was great for families & couples. Something that inspired me to write this review is the hospitality that we received from all the staff. The staff were all so welcoming & in a good mood & it makes a huge difference these days. I came in with my service dog Mila, & normally when I go to restaurants with her I feel treated less than. Given the undesirable tables in the restaurant & made feel lesser than or a burden for being there with my dog. But not at McKiernan's. Here not only me but Mila was respected & we felt more than welcomed. So I just want to say an extra thank you for that.
I visited for happy hour/ dinner time with some friends.
Nice space, efficient staff & interesting menu.
Food was good & service as well.
I think it's a good location & it's definitely a gem for the neighborhood if you are looking for a polished, old feel vibe with a great experience.

We just walked in on Easter Sunday & this restaurant did not disappoint! The food, the service, the vibe - all were amazing! I definitely recommend & will be coming back!
Perfect balance of fancy but not stuffy. Great dishes, the devilled brussel sprouts were amazing, so was the roast beef. There was a marriage proposal at the table right next to us, many festive occasions, mutiple birthdays. Everybody smiling & enjoying the lively vibe, A+ ps I've also been to Joe Beef & I liked McKiernan even bette

Stopped by this spot in Lachine because it looked really cute on the inside - definitely a cozy place if you're just looking to grab a drink or a beer after hanging out in the area. Unfortunately, the food really didn't live up to expectations.
The highlights: the Parker House rolls were excellent - soft, buttery, garlicky perfection. Fries were also solid, crispy & well-seasoned. The horseradish sauce wasn't for me (but that's more about preference, so if you like horseradish you might enjoy it).
Everything else was disappointing. The ribs had a tasty Korean-inspired sweet-savory sauce, but the actual ribs were almost entirely fat with barely any meat - I've never had ribs like that before. The rigatoni pasta was cooked properly, but the sauce was bland & lacked depth, leaving the dish flat overall.
It was one of those meals that just felt very'mid' all around, which is frustrating when there are so many better options in Montreal. Maybe it was just an off night, but personally I won't be coming back. The food execution needs serious work if they want to match the nice vibe of the space.
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!

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.

I absolutely love the atmosphere at McKiernan. Rustic barn, ballroom vibe. It is simply one of my favourite places to eat in Montreal time & time again. Never disappointed. Staff is always on point as well. The quality for the price is totally fair & the clientele are a nice mix from all walks of life. No elitism just people passionate about good food.
I've heard that you can rent out the venue for wedding receptions & such as well which would be fabulous!
Their brussels sprouts are one of my single favourite dishes & all of Montreal.
Recently went back for brunch & it was lit! Photos addd to my review.
I love McKiernan. It's such a vibe, & their pasta is incredible. Their spicy rigatoni is always a go-to but their butternut squash pasta was out of this world. Their classic rolls & the burrata are also amazing. The only negative was that the service was slow, but the restaurant was jammed. We also loved the energy of the support staff who brought the foods & drinks.
Lovely. Warm. Attentive. & that just describes our waitress!!! Excellent place with unmatched vibes & insanely tasty food (the brussel sprouts!!). But special shout-out to Vanessa, who was just so kind & welcoming!!! Best service ever!!!
McKiernan is the perfect blend of laid-back & upscale, offering top-notch restaurant service in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. The vibe is unbeatable-stylish yet comfortable, making it a great spot whether you're out for a casual bite or something a bit more special. The food is consistently fantastic, with dishes that are both creative & satisfying. It's the kind of place where you get that fancy restaurant experience without any of the fuss. If you're looking for great food & an awesome atmosphere, McKiernan is a must-visit!
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.
