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.
You'll want a reservation (walking in is almost impossible) but it's for good reason!
We ordered the chicken pot pie (to die for), the Shepard's pie (pretty good), & one of the pasta dishes (phenomenal). The drinks were great & the service excellent.
We celebrated a birthday here & the staff helped make the night special.
Un pub bien agréable l'hiver, avec un service attentionné & une très bonne cuisine. Nous y sommes retournés dès le lendemain. Essayez le chicken pot pie, un must !

Beautiful pub, friendly staff & amazing pies!!! We were lucky to order the last stroganoff pie of the night, which was to die for!!! The chicken one was also incredible.
Also, good thing we had a reservation because it was packed inside!!
Proper Pie - beef stroganoff - didn't want it to end... Yum yum. My wife had the Chicken Pot Pie, full of chicken flavor, great pastry - one of the best. The Bitter was a good pint. Great music! Just go!
This place is a great experience & one of the finer Pubs in Montreal. This is a must visit for locals & travelers!
The way the atmosphere hits the right pub vibe. Small, cozy, friendly, & expansive. The wood finish & the lighting gives a sense like you have been going there your whole life.
The service was very friendly, super fast, & helpful. Our waiter understood we only spoke English & that was no problem on their end.
The food was outstanding & very creative! Arancini to start is the way to go as they were tasty, creamy, & hearty. The Chicken Pot pie was super hot but it was delicious. The seafood pasta was very fresh & filling. The presentation & portion size was near perfect. The drinks were mixed to perfection. The mixology is top tier here.
The prices are above average but worth every bit.
Overall, Pub Wolf & Workman is an amazing place to have a bite to eat or watch a futball game with the regulars that go there. This is a hometown pub up & down.
My first & only review goes to Wolf & Workman, who absolutely earned it. My friend, Kate, & I spent over a week in Montréal & stumbled upon this spot on our first day. We ended up coming back again & again. The food & drinks were excellent, & the staff couldn't have been kinder to us (shoutout to Kayla!). We're already planning our return to Montréal, & the chicken pot pie & drinks alone are more than enough reason to come back. We're wondering how many visits it'll take before we earn scarf hanging privileges? Our team/place of work would look pretty good up there…

Our group of five tried Wolf & Workman last week. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation, & they were able to seat us immediately. Our server was friendly & made recommendations as requested. He was prompt & helpful. We ended up ordering the Burrata & Mezze Plate for appetizers & the Hanger Steak, Beef Stroganoff Pie & Chicken Pot Pie for entrees. The Mezze Plate was amazing. I highly recommend this dish. It was beautiful & the flavors melded together so well. I loved it. I also loved my Beef Stroganoff Pot Pie. The beef was tender, the mushrooms tantalizing & the savory sauce blew my mind. Three members of our group ordered this dish, & we were all delighted. The Chicken Pot Pie & the Steak were also highly praised. This was a great dining experience.
Definitely recommend trying this pub in Old Montreal. We were a group of 8 people, on Friday evening, & they were able to accommodate us at the terrasse on the back. We stayed for drinks only, they have a lot to choose from & they are all tasty. Beautiful decor & great friendly staff!
Update : came back 2 years after my first review & would still give it a 5⭐. Tried the chicken pot pie, it was good but I prefered the beef Stroganoff pot pie.
Pub Wolf & Workman impressed in all the ways a top-rated restaurant should. The food, drinks, service, location, ambiance, & value; all excellent!
We made reservations well in advance for a Thursday evening at 7:30 PM. Upon arrival, we were greeted courteously & promptly seated in a dining room. There was a terrace at the back, which looked great & was full of people enjoying the good vibe.
The whole place was lively, with a vibrant buzz, but somehow it also felt warm, inviting & relaxed, as any place calling itself a pub should feel. The inside had an aesthetically pleasing mix of old-world, even luxurious charm, with a nice modern twist. Trendy, yes, but cozy, too.
Our server was very good. Prompt. Friendly. Bilingual. She listened & engaged & gave us bang-on recommendations. It was busy & she had several tables, but she was positive, attentive & readily available all evening. Great job!
The cocktails were on point. A Coconut Marmalade Horchata & a Wild Strawberry Margarita. I also had a nice pour of Murphy's Irish Stout. All were excellent.
We started with a delicious Howard Scotch Egg with maple syrup sausage, Branston chutney & arugula. Fantastic!
For our mains, we sampled from their famous'Pie Shoppe' & had the popular Chicken Pot Pie & Beef Stroganoff Pie. They were amazing. Eye-poppingly humongous & perfectly prepared. Which is better is a matter of personal preference (esp. re: chicken vs. beef), but in our opinion the Beef Stroganoff Pie was extra-delicious & peerless.
The Wolf & Workman left a great impression as a hospitable, somewhat upscale pub-style restaurant with a great offerings & a very nice blend of British/Quebecois vibe, right in the heart of Old Montreal.
