Reviews describe Projet Pilote as a stylish, vibrant spot on the Plateau with a microbrewery and micro distillery that makes its own beers and gin, offering a creative cocktail program and a rotating food menu that includes items like gnocchi, mushroom toast, scallops, truffle parmesan fries and a smash burger. The atmosphere is praised for its cool decor, comfortable vibe and friendly, attentive staff who tailor recommendations and explain drinks, making it a great choice for dates or nights out with friends; the live music on the upper level adds a nice touch for some. Some notes mention small portions and higher prices, with a few dishes considered only decent and a couple of service hiccups such as slow restocking or an underwhelming knowledge of allergies, and a few guests find the music volume and the crowd a bit loud. Overall the consensus leans positive, with many calling it a standout drink and dining destination, a place to return to for both inventive cocktails and solid food, especially for those seeking a unique, ever evolving experience.
Best bar in the plateau, super friendly staff , amazing food (specially the smash burger & gourmet fries) great cocktail selection & the beer is always perfect!
L'ambiance était agréable, mais la nourriture était correcte sans plus, rien de vraiment « wow ». Les portions étaient très petites. Mon mocktail a été oublié & j'ai dû le rappeler à un autre serveur. Lors de la prise de commande, le serveur connaissait à peine les allergies, ce qui n'était pas du tout rassurant. Mon amie avait pris le smash burger avec des frites : le burger est arrivé, mais les frites seulement après qu'elle ait terminé, & ce, après les avoir redemandées trois fois. Honnêtement, je n'y retournerais pas.

This place is a hidden gem & deserves WAY MORE recognition.
Food is incredible & changes by the season, with a few staples like the smash burger.
It's both a microbrewery & micro distillery. They make their own beers & gin. They also have an amazing wine list & all cocktails are incredible. I tried their Carolina reeper spicy stout & it was perfectly balanced.
We recently went for a birthday party. The event coordinator was super accommodating & easy to work with.
We shared plates (hello ricotta gnocchi with corn!) & the staff was both very helpful & efficient.
It's also a perfect spot for girls night or a date ;)
The entire experience from beginning to end was perfect. The staff here is incredible. The food is fresh & delicious. The beer they make is delicious. The gin they make is...delicious. Each staff member we spoke with spent time explaining some aspect of the food or drinks or process that they love. Get the burger. Get the dessert. Get the gin drink. Get whatever they are making.
Nice little place great ambiance, decor & nothing ordinary.
All the drinks beers are local/small batch products no big names, gotta try.
Similar for the food, everything is a little fancy & out of the ordinary. Gnocchi recommended, smash burger was fine but doesn't come with anything on the side which left me hungry & seems designed to require loading up on sides.
Overall really fun experience, do expect to be trying something new. At the same time expect to pay a little more as everything is a little off the beaten path, however you do get what you pay for.
Tried a bunch of stuff including a few of their seasonal offerings. The salad was absolutely unique. I've never had anything like it before & it absolutely slayed.
The chips & dip were incredible. They were so good that I ordered some fries to finish off the dip. The fries were tremendously okay.
Wasn't planning on getting the smash burger, but then I smelled it when it was delivered to the table next to me. Did not disappoint. Didn't get it with bacon so can't comment on that, but with everything else it was delicious & well-rounded.
Pretty space. Service was friendly & efficient but not really attentive at all after the initial order. Shrimp toast was delicious, smash burger was typical, both overpriced for what they are though. They don't come with any sides by the way. Mint Julep inspired cocktail was strong & smooth, forgot the name though.
The food here was amazing! Would definitely recommend the burger!! Our server/bartender was amazing (sad we didn't get his name) he spoke 3 languages & was very attentive & knowledgeable, as it got busy he went to work more behind the bar & we had a waitress take over who also did a great job. Thank you for the great food & service - I will be recommending to friends & family that visit Montreal.
Burger & frites délicieux . Belle ambiance décontractée dans un décor stylé. Service 5* Marianne est à l'écoute, professionnelle, tout simplement parfaite . Une belle découverte
Le décor est très beau & moderne. C'est vraiment chic mais pas trop prétentieux. Les bières sont correctes. Le cidre était bon. Mon ami a commandé l'onglet de boeuf suite de la recommandation de la serveuse & a été un peu déçu (assiette trop petite pour le prix). Le smash burger était bon mais pas le meilleur que j'ai mangé. Bref, une expérience correcte.
Great brewery with a nice selection of beers. The food however, less than average... chicharrón de poulet is a very misleading plate. It's fried chicken skin, there's no meat (see photo). I know in some countries that's what chicharrón de poulet is, but in others, it's actually fried chicken bites, so at least write the description of the plate. We couldn't eat it. I tried a piece & it was oozing with oil. I just couldn't. Terrible dish. We told the waitress, she shrugged & took it away. We didn't appreciate that. Then towards the end, another waitress came over to collect the plates & I mentioned to her that the chicken skin was inedible. She said she'll take it off our bill. The fries that are usually really good were soggy. The burger was good. So, the food I guess needs some attention.
Excellent choix de bière. Les frites & le smash burger parmi les meilleurs que j'aie mangé.
Le service par plusieurs membres du personnel était très attentionné & personnel.
Un trésor caché... Tout est réunis pour passer une excellente soirée! Magnifique endroit, leurs bières sont particulièrement bonnes & tres originales. Il faut absolument essayer le smash burger & les frites gourmandes. Service & ambiance 5 étoiles.
Vraiment gênant quand la serveuse revient vers vous parce qu'elle estime ne pas avoir eu assez de tips...Comment c'est possible d'aller importuner un client pour dire "Désolé, mais tu n'as pas donné assez de tips".
(Le calcul des tips avec les taxes, c'est non)
Ca reste très sympa comme endroit vraiment, bonne cuisine & bon cocktail. Un peu chère le burger sans frite à 17$ ou il faut ajouter 10$ pour des frites.
