We are only in Montreal for a few short days. This restaurant was near our hotel & looked quite nice. The food was incredible I had a salad & Brisket Risoto. The best I have ever had. Robin & Alexandra were very nice & had quick & attentive service.
Very budget-friendly breakfast buffet style considering the nice deco, nice table in a prime location hotel in Old Montreal. ($36 + tax & tip) Variety of food to choose, I like the English egg (poached egg in a creamy sauce). The food refill pretty fast too. Just the place can get crowded in a small buffet room.
We stayed 3 nights at the Intercontinental Hotel August 3-6, 2024 & ordered room service 2 times during our stay. The first night we had burgers, fries & crème brûlée. The food was great & the delivery person was prompt & courteous. The second time was our last night there & I ordered the charcuterie plate thinking there would be cheese on it. When the room service gentleman, Jonathan, delivered the meal I realized my error & commented I thought there would be cheese. Jonathan went out of his way to correct my mistake & brought me a plate of cheese & fruit. I was blown away by his exceptional customer service & my meal was delicious. We will definitely be back!
This review is for the Club Lounge in the Intercontinental that is associated to the restaurant. The lounge is very nicely decorated. There were a generous amount & variety of drinks available during happy hour, a hot entree (the chicken & potatoes one evening were excellent) as well as vegetables, dip, salad, Sandwhiches & petit desserts. Breakfast was also delicious, after hours food was a bit lacking on some days though. On several occasions, the lounge was tended by Johnathon. His service was absolutely excellent, he was very efficient at keeping everything available & fresh, but was also incredibly personable & kind to everyone in the lounge. Also serving as a concierge helping with suggestions about Montreal, transportation & showing a real love & enthusiasm for Montreal & each guest. He is really a gem, the hotel is very lucky to have him.
Of all the places I ate in Montreal, this was one of the best & most memorable. The service was outstanding. The hotel wasn't much to speak of, but this place was. The salmon pasta was the best I've ever had anywhere, & I am a pescatarian.
Osco is the hotel restaurant in the intercontinental hotel in Montreal. We had both dinner & breakfast in the restaurant & it is very much recommended, great service, great venue & great food. Thank you to all our servers: Ivan, Robin, Maxim, Alexandria & Rene for all the meals we had at the place.
Decided to use the club lounge during our stay at the Intercontinental in Montreal. Food very good & was always replenished good selection to choose from. We must give special mention to Johnathon who went above & beyond to make our stay a memorable one he is a great asset to this hotel & I am sure will go far in hospitality. Thanks again Johnathon for all that you do.
