My expectations are always quite high when going out to eat & I was so pleased that they were fully met at Bishops & Bagg! The ambiance was lively yet not loud, the service was friendly & not rushed & more importantly the food was great! We had the jerk chicken & the burger & both were delicious! Would definitely recommend to all!
Had the postachio pesto spaghetti. The portion was really small for the price & the pasta was under cooked. Friends got burgers & said they were great.

On y vient toujours car tout est top. J'aime beaucoup le serveur qui est gentil & agréable. Par contre les patates du bag burger ont changé depuis 6 mois. C'est très grave, elles etaient une raisons de venir. Heureusement elles s'améliorent maintenant mais on part de loin.
Really great, especially the service & the veggie burger. I usually head to beef but this was special. Sad to say I’m not sure I will be back, I live in New York City.
Nice space, friendly staff, prompt service & their house bitter is the best in the city.
$27 + tax & tip for a dish with 5, count em 5 shrimp is crazy. For $22+, I didn't expect their burgers to have shrunk either. For that kind of money, I'd expect something like Harricana's, which has an enormous dish of mussels for $23.
Beet salad was delish, as were my friends' meals (veggie burger & sweet crepe). Service was excellent, & being on protected terrasse on a sunny September Sunday was a treat. Only complaint is that the mimosa was a tad small.
Nice pub, good service & they serve one of the best burgers in town.
Only 2 cons from my point of view:
- they don't have fries (the burger comes with aioli potatoes, which are tasty, just not fries);
- when I last went, the door & some windows were open & it was pretty cold inside, not the most pleasant sensation & of course the food gets cold more quickly than it should.
Anyway, I still recommend the place, it's good.
Food was great! Had the burger. Staff very friendly & helpful. First Tuesday of the month is a comedy night (which is not clear on their website) which we rather enjoyed!

I work at a company in Mile End that is nearby Bishop & Bagg, so I went there a LOT. This restaurant is absolutely my go-to. I have never once been disappointed in my meal. The potatoes that come with the burgers are actually the key piece of the meal, so good. Anyhow, big fan of the food, the ambiance, & the service.
I highly recommend people going, you won't regret it I promise!
