We popped in to this pub for lunch at 11:40 & were quickly seated & served water. I had the house burger & fries with a pint of Stella , & my wife had the chicken pot pie with hot, lemon water. Both meals were excellent. The server was very friendly & attentive. I finished with an excellent latte (cafe au lait). As we were leaving (around 12:50) we noticed that the place was packed.
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!!

The beverages were awesome, & the servers both times I went were energized & helpful. I even asked one where we should go next & they recommended a great follow up pub.
We got food the first time & split it three ways. The lamb pasta melted in the mouth & the cauliflower dish was a great add on. I would go back for more but just having drinks there was also fun.
Had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. The service was attentive & welcoming, & the atmosphere was perfect - lively but still intimate. Such a great spot for a night out. Highly recommend!
Almost immediately after this place opened, we became regulars. The servers were fantastic, the food was really good & we loved the courtyard terrace. Over the years we brought lots of friends & family to Wolf & Workman, & I always recommended it to people. So, why only 2 stars? We stopped going when we noticed it was claiming to be in the Old Port. When we asked our server once, she said:'Yeah, we know it's not but it's for tourists, I guess.' As longtime Old Montreal residents who supported Wolf & Workman (including in the slower winter months), we were ticked off. If they're lying to attract tourists, then maybe they don't care about residents. A neighbour who used to be a regular said he stopped going, too, because'if they're lying about being in the Old Port, what else are they lying about?' It's a shame that Wolf & Workman have decided to alienate Old Montreal residents. If you choose to go (& you should) you will likely get seated easily because there are a few less regulars using up tables.
Went here to celebrate my birthday & honestly, it was a terrible experience. The moment we walked in, the server rushed us to order because the kitchen was closing & literally stood over us until we decided.
The food was very disappointing & felt low quality & compromised.
We ordered a cheesecake to be served at 12:00am for the celebration never received it. My friend had even pre-ordered a cake & was ready to pay online. They refused payment & said they'd provide one on the house… but we never got that either.
We also asked to change seats since we were stuck beside the glass wall. The server said he'd check, we saw tables open up, yet we were never moved.
Overall, very poor service, zero effort, & we honestly felt ignored maybe because we don't speak French. Worst birthday dinner experience. Would not recommend.
One of the best pubs/bars in the Vieux Port area of Montreal. The decoration was lovely, a mix of old school pub vibes with a classy bar. The prices were very reasonable, we were dumbfounded that you could still get a beer for 8.50, even more so in this area of town. There was a few TV's to watch sports, but not too many to lose its charm.
The service was solid, even when it was busy, the people serving were kind.
This has now become my go to pub in the area, you get a little bit of everything without taking away anything.
Absolutely recommended!!!!was there afternoon like around 13, many other places around were ether closed or no alcohol, coffee etc...we decided it was best discovery so far! By the way place is usually full, so it's possible you wait like 5-10 min before they host you.if you'd like to feel the atmosphere of British pub, with absolutely delicious & unique meals, good selection of British beers, cocktails & be surprised that prices are only so good... ?t's definitely the right place to visit!!!🔥🔥🔥
By the way it was nice to feel that you are not forgotten, personnel were so attentive & friendly, so many pleasant memories we've got! Thank you!!!
We arrived at the wrong time . Kitchen closes for an hour . Very friendly reception . It was a place recommended . Either full or kitchen closed . I guess we were not meant to try this place
The meat pie & the tuna tartare are phenomenal. The staff is incredibly warm! We wanted gin shot & the bar tender recommended a gin & tonic, we did not regret!!
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!
The drinks were great, atmosphere good, food bad (fries were not good & burger too thick & tough )& service worse. Couldn't recommend it, & would never go back.
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.
