We stumbled upon this lovely pub on St. Patrick's Day. They were busy but warm & attentive, so we were willing to wait a bit. The scotch egg was delightful, & the STPCC (sticky toffee pudding carrot cake) was so delicious. The pints were good & the atmosphere was nice. Would recommend!!

Service très attentionné, nourriture au delà des attentes, prix selon les attentes, il faut essayer le HOWARD SCOTCH EGG & le PIE AU BOEUF STROGANOFF, 2 plats extrêmement savoureux & qui sortent de l'ordinaire,
Atmosphere was great, food was excellent. The scotch egg, cauliflower dish & meat pie were all exceptional. Flavors were rich but well balanced. I noticed that the support staff did most of the servers job, hopefully they are tipped out more than the industry average. Overall service was good though. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

The food is great. The restaurant is not very friendly for individual customer. I spent considerably more time to wait for the service comparing to other tables. (I really hope that this is not because of my race) Also they ask me to leave before 6:15pm because my table was reserved, they actually don't notify me that ahead. The scotch egg & the pork are all very delicious
This place is fantastic! The vibes are 🤌🏻. All of the food we had was amazing & I have no doubt everything on the menu would have been really good. We had the scotch egg (delicious & cooked perfectly), the tuna tartare, & the stroganoff. Would highly recommend any of those menu items! We sat at the bar & had a great time watching the bartenders make the cocktails. All of the cocktails we had were very good!
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.

Enjoyed their Howard Scotch Egg & Classic Martini. Server was engaging & attentive. Crowd was lively & energetic. The night i visited was packed bc most of the patrons were there to watch a big hockey game. Wait-time was about 25+ minutes. Bonus: Server hooked me up with a free postcard. 🙏😺
We had the pleasure of eating & sipping cocktails at The Wolf & Workman Pub, & it truly felt like stepping into a classic London pub-only with a uniquely Montreal twist. Tucked away in the charming Old Town, this spot delivered on every front, from its outstanding food to its inviting ambiance & top-notch bar service.
What truly sets The Wolf & Workman apart is its exceptional blend of traditional pub fare & local Quebecois ingredients. The menu proudly features seasonal produce sourced from Quebec's independent farmers. We had the chance to try several dishes, including the Beef Tartare, Calamari, Scotch Egg, Salmon Gravlax, Gnocchi Bolognese, & Quebec Pork Schnitzel-each dish was delicious.
The drinks deserve a mention of their own. The mixologist behind the bar was a true artist, crafting cocktails that were as visually captivating as they were tasty. The cocktail menu incorporated local flavours, which added a twist to every classic drink.
A standout moment of our visit was meeting Sean Michael, one of the co-owners. He made us feel incredibly welcome & took the time to share the intriguing history behind the pub. Hearing about The Wolf & Workman's journey & its commitment to quality truly enhanced the experience. Sean's genuine passion for the pub is reflected in every detail, making the space feel even more special.
The atmosphere was cozy & intimate, with rich wood accents & warm lighting that evoke the spirit of a beloved British pub-but with a distinctly Montreal touch. It was the perfect place for a casual laid-back yet sophisticated evening.
The Wolf & Workman Pub is a must-visit for anyone in search of outstanding food, exceptional cocktails, & a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a spot you'll want to return to. A perfect blend of London charm & Quebec pride-what's not to love?
Wolf & Workman is a brunch lover's paradise! I once tried their Eggs Benedict, & it was absolutely fantastic - perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, & beautifully balanced flavors. Each bite felt like a warm, comforting treat. ☕️ The atmosphere adds to the experience, with its cozy pub vibes & friendly service. If you're looking for a top-notch brunch spot in Old Montreal, this place is a must-visit. Yum indeed!
Absolutely lovely place, very friendly service & great ambiance. I am somewhat irked that a place that has great scotch eggs also has an incredibly delicious mezze platter. Marvelous hummus, wish I knew the secret. Would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal. The pot pie also has a fantastic presentation.
Appetizers were great. Tried the Scotch Egg & Croquettes which were both delicious. Chicken Tikka was solid & the Pork Cho was tasty, too. Liked my Martini & everyone in the group enjoyed everything!
Very cool atmosphere & delicious food. I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area. Cocktails were delicious! If I rated the food for appetizers alone, I would give a 5/5. However, sadly the lamb shank was not what I was hoping for. The seasoning is unlike any other lamb shank I've eaten & did not accentuate the flavor of the lamb. The couscous & side salad were bland & without much flavor. I recommend the scotch egg, escargot, & polpettes as appetizers!
