I was looking for somewhere quiet outdoors with a courtyard to eat with a late meal in walking distance to my hotel - Moxy. This was perfect. The gem was the courtyard. It's a decent sized old stone walled in area, lit with patio lights, well spaced tables & umbrellas. A mix of old & new buildings around you gives it a cool vibe. As a solo female traveller I safe walking in the area.
Prices were good & portions size was also decent. Expect your standard local pub food, my burger was okay taste wise but not a homemade patty & over seasoned with what I think was a Montreal steak spice type blend, fries were a little burnt. The burger did look great with two very large & fresh pieces of tomato, 2 generous pieces of dill pickle & onions. My only advice here would be to make a shift to making more items from scratch, it would easily elevate this pubs food & review scores. Offer a gluten free bun - which most places thaw from frozen for each burger order - may be a way to attract more people. Good selection of beer, & I had the red win from Portugal which was great. Only advice here was to maybe start stocking some seltzers, especially for hot summer days. They had at least 4-5 good selections for zero alcohol drinks. My waiter was a young man who was just the right amount of attentive.
Great spot to grab a bite & have a drink. Service was great. It gets busy soRT plan ahead. We were able to get a table for two. Had the smoked meat poutine. Highly recommend. Fish & Chips is also a solid choice.
No complaints! Came here to drink & have a snack & we got both! Prices were reasonable & food was tasty. Solid spot & definitely the most affordable in the block.
Came for the puzzle pint night, which was really fun! The drinks were good & the staff friendly, but the food was not very good. It came out quickly, but my fish & chips were hard as a rock & tasted like they had been frozen & then fried. The fries were also bland & tasted old. The rest of the group also mentioned their burgers/poutines, etc. were not very good. Nice little pub, but disappointed in the food quality compared to other places in Montreal.
Premium Montreal Old Port pricing with the food quality of a roadside motel where busses used to stop.
A smoked meat sandwich contained low quality, too thinly cut, & dry/stale smoked meat & it came with overcooked fries. When I asked to replace the fries (which has got to be the cheapest thing possible), they tried to convince me to keep the fries -'they're fine, they just were cooked too long'.
The place looks nice though, the terrace is lovely. So have the drinks & skip the food.
