Palomar propose une expérience centrée sur le poisson où l’on peut choisir son poisson directement à la poissonnerie et le faire griller, avec des plats comme huîtres, moules, tartare de thon, gravlax et lobster roll, le tout dans une ambiance conviviale et une terrasse agréable proche du marché; la fraîcheur et la qualité des produits sont largement saluées, tout comme le service attentif et la possibilité de découvrir des poissons maturés qui apportent une touche originale. Certaines critiques signalent des exceptions, notamment des portions qui peuvent sembler modestes ou des plats mal ajustés au prix, des charcuteries de mer moins convaincantes, des frites trop salées et des expériences de service variables ou des attentes plus longues lors du service, ainsi que des soucis ponctuels avec la gestion des promotions comme mimosa à volonté. Malgré cela, l’ensemble est perçu comme une belle découverte avec une atmosphère agréable et un cadre lié au marché qui invite à revenir pour explorer d’autres poissons, déguster des fruits de mer frais et profiter de l’expérience unique du lieu.
Visitor from Taiwan! After shopping around Jean Talon Market we were looking for something more filling & found Palomar on Google.
We ordered the oyster sampler, fries (of course), a salmon sandwich, & the charcuterie (thought it was interesting to try different fish).
Oyster, sandwich, & fries were great. Seems like lobster roll is the common choice but boyfriend says sandwich was a better choice 😋 Charcuterie was not as pleasant as I thought. Great nibble food but most of the fish is not fresh! It's actually all processed - like fish salami or jerky.
Saw the table next to us order the pot of mussels & was jealous.
Nevertheless, enjoyable dining experience. Very relaxed. Great service.
If the opportunity comes, I will go back for a glass of wine, fries, & those mussels!!
The short lobster roll, $39 only contains a hotdogs bread with fresh lobster meat. Although it tastes very fresh, it is not enough to fill you up. My husband let me eat two pieces, & I was so touched.

Thank you, Palomar, for a lovely lunch. The food was fresh, bursting with flavour, & unique. The soupe du jour was a hit as was the salmon chorizo with pickled beets. Lobster roll was delicious, nicely presented. We were less enamored by the fish & chips, fries were dry & overcooked, batter was thick, a bit heavy. Service was excellent, the team thoughtful & sweet. Nice dining room, the deli counter dominates a bit & takes away from the coziness but the outside fireplace is a fun touch, especially for diners choosing mimosa a volonté ;). Bathrooms really need a bit of TLC to match the standard of the restaurant.
Very slow service. Resto wasn't full, maybe 5 tables in all & yet it took over 40mins to get 1 benedict, 1 crab salad, & 1 lobster roll. Portions are extremely small & tasteless. Food needs more flavoring. Even when wanted to pay the bill I had to get up to get the attention of a staff member. Bill was 135, I paid 160 but I'll never go again. I think it's way overrated

We had an excellent meal today at Palomar. We ordered the Shrimp & Waffles & the Lobster Pain Perdu. They were both delicious & tasted quite unique. Although unexpected, we also recommend their caffeinated beverages that we found quite smooth & hit the right notes. Looking forward to going back for dinner soon.
Loved this seafood place. The raw bar is great, had the oysters, fresh & yummy. Had the half lobster, great presentation & delicious 😋 🤩 great service 🤠😁 for sure going back soon.
We came for brunch & loved it. We tried the lobster pain perdu & Reuben sandwich which were both delicious. The seats at the bar are the best, you get to watch them prep your food. Definitely coming back for the dinner menu!
Half lobster, poached egg, béarnaise, herb salad on a terrace, Sunday, under the autumn sun & great discussions on psychology & travel. This is Montreal 🥰
