We had a fun & festive evening at Wolf & Workman with a group of friends right before the holidays. Food & drinks were great & Trivia Night was a blast! We will definitely go back again. Highly recommend this warm & cozy pub in Old Montréal!
My daughter had the chicken pot pie & I had the beef stroganoff pot pie. Both were amazing but the clear winner was the beef pie. Possibly the best thing I've ever tasted. The stone interior was beautiful. The server was very busy, as it's a popular place so we had to flag her down to get the bill. She did come by once to see how the food was. I highly recommend this place.
We came for lunch & were not that impressed by the choice of lunch menu so decided to get 3 appys. The hummus, the scotch egg, , & the meatballs. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere is awesome as we sat outside in the courtyard, & the food was excellent. The scotch egg is the best I have had ever. Highly recommend the place & would suggest they expand the menu if you have that good of chefs working there. As a former chef….challenge yourself!
We had reservation at 7pm on a Tuesday, but came a 10 minutes early.
Upon arrival, we were greeted right away. Our hostess gave us a quick tour, & proceeded to take us to our table. The ambiance is nice. The music wasn't playing too loudly, so my guest & I were still able to talk to each other without screaming at each other.
Our waitress came quickly to ask if we wanted to order drinks, & event made a recommendation for the mocktail. It didn't take long to receive our drinks, & to give our food order. As we sipped our drinks, & enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant, our entrées arrived: BRAISED PORC CROQUETTES was delicious. 3 pieces of nicely fried croquette was good on its own & didn't need the extra sauce; BURRATA & ROASTED SQUASH served with their own homemade focaccia was beautiful. It says roasted squash in the title, but in the description it was pickled, we definitely got pickled not roasted. If I let my foodie self talk, I would probably have the castel franco, chicory & endives slices more thinly to have a more delicate experience with the burrata cheese. We took a bit of time to eat our entrées because the mains came & we hadn't finished, but the staff was kind enough to grab our plates out of the way for the mains.
SLOW COOKED OX TAIL GNOCCHI had good flavors. The gnocchi were soft as they should be, there were some pieces of ox tail, & the tomato sauce was on point, not too acidic; LAMB ROGAN JOSH PIE was the big winner. The pie was quite hefty, the crust was flaky & well baked. The filling was ALL lamb, so definitely have your protein intake. It was accompanied by a goat cheese beet salad (salad of the day) & it was a perfect balance. We took the leftovers home!
The restrooms were clean, so always a plus!
All in all, the experience at this establishment is a 5 star for me. Friendly staff, clean place, great décor, lots of personality & flavorful foods. I highly recommend.
The best!! We went for cocktails Thursday night & had so much fun that we came back for brunch & service both times was SO fantastic. Delicious food, highly recommend!
