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?
The pub is near our hotel & we have stopped in a couple of times for either a drink or a bite or both. Each stop has been great - the staff are really friendly & helpful, the food is very good & the overall vibe is really fun!
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!
Great pub... love the atmosphere, the food & the service. Had the feature burger & it was excellent. Nicely located on St-Paul St in Old MTL... definitely a place I would go back to.
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!
Good pub atmosphere, should have stuck with pub fare. The swordfish special was underwhelming & small. The pot pie looked very good. Very limited G options.

Love the beautiful classic interior. Great staff, lovely pub. We did not eat anything as we went there for couple of drinks, but the food served at other tables looked appetizing. So we'll order food as well, next time.

4 étoiles pour diverses raisons Les + : endroit très charmant, la nourriture fut excellente. Le service était vraiment sympa, le Mr était très gentil & a attendu à chaque fois pour prendre les commandes & débarrasser ce qui n'est pas négligeable. Les - : il s'agit d'un pub donc du bruit aucun soucis la dessus, mais rajouter en plus de la musique forte, on s'entendait plus vraiment. Il a fallut attendre 20h30/21h pour pouvoir communiquer plus facilement. 3 personne sur 7 ont très mal digéré alors que nous avions pas mangé la même chose. On ne comprend pas. Mais très satisfaite dans l'ensemble, nous reviendrons.
I highly recommend this place. The service was incredible. The food was even better. I expected decent quality food because it was a pub. However the food was outstanding & expectations were exceeded tremendously. Highly recommend!
It's a great spot in the Old-Port. I really liked the atmosphere in their backdoor terrasse & their prices are good for the Old-Port . I had the opportunity to go for the Happy Hour which you can grab a drink at a good price. The W&W Burger was juicy & tender served with crunchy tasty fries. The caramelized onions bring an interesting taste to the burger. The fisherman's pie is also great, tasty & probably one of the best I ever tried. You really feel the taste of the mussels & clams & everything is well balanced. Both plates were well presented & good. As regards the decoration it really feels like a typical pub that you can find in the UK. An excellent pub in the old port where I enjoyed my experience & where I'll probably go back.
Great ambiance & location in Old Montreal. Food was average & on par for pub food. Service was below average. We ordered two drinks & two mains & were sat for hours. It was very hard to get the attention of the staff & the food took over an hour to prepare.
