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.
We came here for drinks before our dinner at a different restaurant & we regretted not booking this place for our dinner instead. We were drooling over every food that was brought to other tables, we've noticed that the pot pie was the popular dish & I can't wait to try it next time I am in Montreal!
Hearty pub food in the middle of Vieux-Montreal. The mezze plate, burrata & fisherman pie were real standout dishes! We were seated in the outdoor terrace, where there was a fantastic ambience, great service & even dog friendly!
Amazing food & service. I mixed up my reservation & they were so gracious & kind & found us a table despite the busy Saturday night crowd. The food was very very good. Everything we tried - the hanger steak, the pot pies (so incredible), the fattoush - was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
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.

Amazing food. The chicken pot pie & salad fattouche de sucrine was absolutely fantastic. Cream ale was a standout. Highly recommend this spot. Super chill. Great service too!!
Mind you we went here because it had great ratings & it did not disappoint! Gabriel was our server & she was excellent with perfect English & French (I presume). ;)
We sat'outside' on a warm day but were glad to have a seat. Outside is an interior open courtyard.
We only ordered what she suggested - croquette appetizer (amazing) & a chicken pot pie for me & a fisherman's pie for my wife. Both were as good as it gets. They also have great Quebec beer on tap & interestingly good cocktails.
Our first time together in Montreal so much to see!
Great pub with really good comfort food. I had the chicken pot pie & it was delicious. Service was excellent. The host who greeted us was very accommodating & moved us from an inside table to a patio table when we asked for it. A very popular place, even with all the street construction happening outside. Reservations recommended.

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.
We went with friends. Starters where fine..meal for really ordinary. Trout was awful (dry & sauce with to taste). Waitress did not even ask if plate where find. I order a French fries cause I was starving (did not ate the trout) they where so bad i Don't understand how you can miss French fries. Waitress did not come fill our water. Really expensive for wat it was. Hubby did enjoy his pot pie though.
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.
My boyfriend & I frequent old port & always look forward to coming to the wolf & workman during our stay. The courtyard is an incredible vibe in the summer, but eating in the dining room is equally as lovely. The staff are always attentive & engaging, & the food is always incredible. I'm not sure if the menu changes seasonally, as the last time we were there we had their escargot appetizer as well as their beef cottage pie, but this time they weren't on the menu. This time we opted to just split a bunch of appetizers since everything sounded delicious, & we were not disappointed. The cocktails are also extremely delicious, & I look forward to returning soon!
