Excellent Sunday brunch at the Pub Wolf & Workman! The food was great & included gluten free options. The rear outdoor patio was a nice option on a sunny day. Service was great. Highly recommended!
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!

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.
WOW! Stumbled on this pub & what a wonderful surprise! Our server Zev was charming & thoughtful with great recommendations for food & drinks!! Everything was so delicious! 10/10 a must visit while in Montreal!
La nourriture était excellente. Je recommande le pâté au boeuf stoganoff qui était délicieux. Par contre, la serveuse n'a pas souris une seule fois & n'est jamais revenue pour nous demander si tout était bon ou si nous avions besoin d'autre chose. Je recommande quand même le restaurant car les autres serveurs étaient vraiment sympathique. J'ai vraiment aimé le décor du pub.
On a week long trip to Montreal, the mushroom rigatoni at Wolf & Workman was the best meal I had. I regretfully forget the name of our server, but she was wonderful. The menu here is a very eclectic mix, not what I would expect for pub fare, but it was fantastic!! I cannot say enough good things about the food & service here, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. Please excuse the photo of the half-eaten meal… It was so good I could hardly stop after the first bite to take a picture!
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.
