Pub Saint Pierre functions as a classic bistro-style establishment focused on high-quality grilled selections and substantial burger options. The kitchen emphasizes fundamental techniques to prepare consistent, savory plates suitable for casual interactions. Diners encounter a menu balanced between seasoned meat preparations and traditional pub-style accompaniments. The interior reflects an utilitarian aesthetic that prioritizes functional space and communal atmosphere over decorative flourish. Every burger features hand-pressed patties paired with fresh garnishes to ensure structural integrity and bold flavor profiles. This venue serves as a reliable destination for those seeking robust comfort food served in a focused, no-nonsense environment. The culinary approach centers on the integrity of the grill, ensuring that heat and seasoning remain the primary drivers of the overall dining encounter.
Pub Saint Pierre is widely celebrated as a cozy, historic gem in Old Montreal, offering a lively atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying pub classics like burgers, fish and chips, and beef tartare alongside a solid selection of beers and creative cocktails. While the restaurant is frequently praised for its friendly, professional staff and warm, inviting environment, it can become quite crowded and loud, making reservations highly recommended. Although most guests describe their dining experiences as memorable and delicious, opinions on service speed and noise levels vary, and some visitors have noted that the intimate, bustling layout can feel cramped during peak hours.
Le service a été impeccable, rapide & avec le sourire, même s'il y avait du monde. C'est l'endroit idéal pour relaxer & passer un bon moment. Une belle expérience, nous reviendrons certainement !
Loved the spot, decoration, cosiness
Service was great
& the do happy hour 4-7 I can have like 2 dollars oysters.
Fish & chips was delicious
Wife had the lobster sandwich which we found too salty. Fortunately the waitress offered to replace it or order another thing.
Music is very low, so it s more of a place to chat & have conversations.
This place is amazing! Great food, good prices, & service is always friendly. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fantastic happy hour or pub in the Old Port.
Came in for a work 5 a 7 with colleagues. We were told that our reservation was valid for 2-hours (so far so good). About 5 mins after we were served a fresh round of drinks (close to the 2-hour mark), the staff came & told us we had to leave the table immediately. Our beers were still completely full so we asked the staff what to do if we were literally being kicked out of the table, they told us to stand up in the corridor (outside the toilets, in the way of staff coming in & out of the kitchen). We ended up walking out to finish our drinks (the 10C night somehow felt warmer than the cold treatment we got from the staff!), this caused yet another discussion with the staff. Never coming back!
I've really enjoyed sharing this anecdote with everyone I know... as people say:'your customers are your best advertisers!' interestingly, as I've shared this story with other colleagues & friends, many people have told me that the same thing happened to them!
Sloppy strategy Pub Saint Pierre, particularly when your clientele is made of local working people, who, like us, organize work gatherings often... we will continue to do this, just not at your pub!
Pub St-Pierre is our go-to spot whenever we're in Old Montreal. If you're looking for a true local vibe paired with great food, this is it. The menu is absolutely delicious without any pretension. My personal favourite is the steak tartare-available during dinner service & always a must. Whether you're in the mood for a pint, a cocktail, or even a mocktail, you won't be disappointed at Pub St-Pierre. ♥
Writing a review as I see another recent similar reviewer about a similar case & this could be a trend to be watchful of. I went to this pub recently & got a drink & appetizers, including oysters. Later that night I got severe food poisoning, which took the whole weekend to fully recover from, & my friend had a similar experience. I advise the pub & future clients to be careful.
I had no problem with the service, but this was a very unfortunate outcome, hence my 1 stars.
The place is very nice, our waiter very friendly. I came with a friend & we both ordered a cocktail as well as 6 oysters to share. After 3 oysters & half my drink, my stomach hurt so much I told her to finish my alcohol. Later that night, at 3AM my friend had food poisoning until the next day. I think the oysters might have been bad. For that despite everything else positive, I can only give one star.
