Phillips Bar gave us a wonderful & memorable experience! From appetizers to mains, the dishes felt unique & well-prepared. The service was attentive throughout. I especially loved the salad & the crab dish - just wish there was a bit more of it. Well done!

This was my second visit to Phillips Bar, & once again, I was absolutely blown away! Every dish was incredible. Special shout-outs to the slip cod & the perfectly cooked steak, as well as the chicken skin with truffle sauce appetizer - you can really tell the chef is a master of his craft. The way flavors & textures are combined makes every bite a memorable culinary experience.
I came with a friend who was trying certain dishes for the first time - it was a bit out of his comfort zone, but he loved nearly everything! We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Huge thanks to the entire team for creating such an exceptional evening. Truly a dining experience not to be missed!

✨ Phillips Bar (Montreal) ✨
Okay but this spot?? So good. The menu has everything - hand rolls, maki, otsumami, taru taru, sarada, teishoku - & I tried a bit of it all (no regrets). Everything was super fresh, portions were perfect, & the service was fast + super friendly. The cocktails were not only so cute but actually amazing too 😋🍸

The whole vibe is chill & cozy - perfect for dinner with friends or a cute night out. 10/10 recommend, I'm already planning my next visit 💛

Super belle découverte au centre-ville! Le bar a une ambiance chic mais détendue, parfaite autant pour un 5 à 7 que pour finir la soirée. Les cocktails sont travaillés & originaux (vraiment bien dosés, pas trop sucrés). Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant, on sent que l'équipe connaît ses produits. La musique & l'éclairage ajoutent vraiment au vibe. Je recommande autant pour une date que pour sortir entre amis.

The miso black cod is an absolute MUST. It was delicious & so were the hand rolls & sushi! The cocktails were beautifully complex & so tasty as well. I personally enjoy bar seating & we had such great & attentive service.

I will definitely go back, & I suggest bringing friends so you can try as many dishes as possible!
