Overall, Pub Wolf & Workman comes across as a lively Old Montreal pub with a warm, cozy vibe and strong good-to-excellent food and drinks. The menu is built around hearty comfort dishes like beef Stroganoff pie, chicken pot pie, and fisherman's pie, plus delicious scotch eggs, hummus plates, and a variety of mezze starters, all paired with a robust beer list, solid cocktails, and a varied whiskey selection. The atmosphere is bustling and welcoming, with a charming courtyard and patio that are especially popular in good weather, though weekends can get loud and parking can be tricky; reservations are often recommended. Service is described as friendly and attentive when not overwhelmed, and portions are generous with many reviewers calling the pies outstanding and the brunch superb, making it a go-to spot for drinks, bites, and casual meals in the area.
Loved this little pub/restaurant! Met for dinner after a day of exploring Old Montreal. Cool vibe with a lot of character. Cool art & fixtures. Staff was wonderful. Helpful & gave great recommendations! The Assiette Mezze was delicious. Cream of mushroom soup was rich & tasty. Burger & were both hits! Nice selection of mocktails. Upon recommendation I tried the Limonade Rose & Noix & it was fabulous!
Great cocktails & mocktails! The 3-plate lunch was a TON of food! Mushroom soup was delicious & could have nearly been a meal on its own. The burger I had, with bacon & caramelized onion jam, was incredible, & the fries were perfect. Dessert was a decadent fudge with whipped cream that I couldn't finish, sadly. Service was on point, atmosphere was amazing, & my friend said the bathrooms were clean & stocked.

We popped in to this pub for lunch at 11:40 & were quickly seated & served water. I had the house burger & fries with a pint of Stella , & my wife had the chicken pot pie with hot, lemon water. Both meals were excellent. The server was very friendly & attentive. I finished with an excellent latte (cafe au lait). As we were leaving (around 12:50) we noticed that the place was packed.
I was here the other day & had a terrible experience. The staff were obviously drunk & not just one person, but it seemed like everyone was intoxicated which felt super unprofessional. We waited on our drinks while they did shots together & ignored us. Not to mention we overheard the staff (including who I assume is the manager) openly talking badly about other clients. Overall unprofessional & not worth the money they charge for simple items like a normal burger with fries. I've never gone out of my way to leave a bad review before but it was THAT bad.
Stopped in at Wolf & Workman for lunch between two client meetings & honestly… this place understood the assignment.
I walked in & immediately got that warm,chill,cozy feeling. Perfect indie rock at the right volume vibes. The kind of music that says'stay a while, but don't panic if you have emails.'
The manager was at the bar doing some work, bartender greeted me right away, & when I asked for a quiet spot with a plug to get some laptop work done, they both made sure I was set up properly. Small detail, big win.
My waitress had a serious, slightly cold demeanor but in a good way. April Ludgate energy, minus the chaos. Dry. Professional. Zero nonsense. I loved it.
I ordered an Old Fashioned. She made sure to confirm it was their version (slightly different than the traditional one). I said yes.
Excellent decision.
It was fantastic genuinely one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in a while, & this is my go-to drink.
Then came the W-W burger (burger of the day). Caramelized onions, jam, cheese the works. Quality ingredients, cooked right. The brioche bun initially felt firm, but it turns out it was just preparing me. That crunch ended up being exactly what the burger needed.
The patty was perfectly rosé… but let me be clear:
This burger was actively trying to escape.
Like a raccoon realizing the trash lid is loose, the patty kept making break attempts from the bun. This is not a burger you casually pick up, put down, & reflect on life choices. No. Once you lift it, you commit. Setting it back down becomes a high-risk maneuver.
I foolishly attempted to pause mid-burger. Bad idea.
Quick reassessment. Napkin deployed on lap for safety.
Second pickup. Final pickup. No turning back.
Despite several escape attempts, I managed to keep it together & enjoyed every bite. The waitress noticed my struggle &, without breaking character, quietly brought extra napkins for the aftermath. Respect.
Am I mad about the inconvenience? Not at all.
It's a burger. Deal with it.
& more importantly ... it was phenomenal.
Cozy, classy, busy but still quiet. A little expensive, but expensive in the right way.
I'll absolutely be back next time I'm nearby.
Service pretty rude on arrival. They misheard'two burgers' as'split a burger' so one of our party went without food, which they didn't apologise for. Not a great first impression of Montreal.
The drinks were great, atmosphere good, food bad (fries were not good & burger too thick & tough )& service worse. Couldn't recommend it, & would never go back.
My companions' food was delicious! As usual, my choice wasn't as good. Although the falafel burger tasted ok, it was sloppy & hard to keep it from deconstructing in my hand.
The courtyard was charming & the rhubarb soda extraordinary!

My family & in-laws came for a late dinner. I just want to preface this by saying we are from Atlanta & we are used to good food & this place did not disappoint. Three people got each of the potpies (beef stroganoff, chicken & fisherman). All 3 were fantastic! My son got a burger & fries. That burger is in my personal top 5 burgers in my life! Overall we had a great experience. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!
I enjoyed the steak tartare with their homemade chips. That was delicious. One of my friends had the chicken pot pie, which they quite enjoyed. Two people had the W&W burgers. They said they were pretty good, but they were quite red in odd places. Like not in the center. So they probably ate half of their burgers. But what they ate they enjoyed. It's just unfortunate that they were not cooked correctly. I also enjoyed a delicious spicy margarita type cocktail, which is the only thing I was able to get a picture of.
Service was great (we were at the bar,), the burger was very good, thick patty, tasted of charcoal BBQ, the cheesecake was not sweet at all, I like it that way. I just found it overpriced ($12) & it was a small piece. We chatted with the people next to us, was a lovely evening. Great people, great food.

Great service & vibes, unfortunately dry & flavorless burgers. We loved being here to watch sports but the food kinda has that tourist trap feel where it looks so, so much better than it tastes. The buns were like crumbly dry & the beef patty soaked up my mouth like saltines do. The roasted cauliflower salad was pretty good, just didn't wow me at all.
Great food the wife had the huge chicken pot pie was very hot & delicious, I had the W W burger was very tasty !!The old fashion with
Makers Mark 514 was great we would definitely come back!!
Everything about this place is a vibe. The music is on point The burger was probably one of the best I've had in montreal The staff were super kind The drinks are just ridiculous good. Just go & have a good time
My wife & I & two other couples met for a pre-Christmas brunch at Wolf & Workman Pub on St. Paul Street in Old Montreal. The first thing you notice is the décor of the pub, it's has a beautiful interior with lots of dark wood, stone walls, polished brass & red leather seating, It really is a beautiful restaurant. Wolf & Workman has a unique combination of British & Quebecois food, fused in unique combinations. We ordered from the brunch menu & I had the W&W burger, which is a very generous burger portion coupled with hand cut fries. The Pub added an additional spicy mayo to the burger dish which was excellent. My wife ordered the crunchy sucrine salad with pesto with an additional order of chicken. She said it was excellent. The service at W&W was excellent & the Pub is equipped with a wide range of beer, wine & liquors for even the eclectic palate. Non-alcoholic options are available as well. Eating at Wolf & Workman was really a wonderful experience & one we would recommend to anyone visiting Old Montreal. A special shout-out to our server Chantal who was absolutely excellent!
