Food is good, but nothing crazy. For some reason our waiter "changed" 3 times , they(the waiters) were all quite nice , but its a bit confusing. All dishes are beautifully plated, but some would benefit from(better) sides, for example the fish is said to come with a puree, but the puree is such that it blends with the sauce. When I read puree I expect a minimum of consistency. Also despite it not being indicated I could taste something akin to dill, or anise in the fish's sauce. The burger's fries are quite great, The caprese too. I was disappointed in the pasta, they were overly salty, I never did that ever, but I requested them to redo it, & from my understanding it was impossible to do, since the pasta's sauce is done in "batch/great quantity" (not that it isnt fresh), I ended up changing my dish to chicken, but I genuinely did not want to eat an indian dish that day. Also we came at around 5 , & were a group of 3 but, it took a while for our dish to come , some people came after us, & had the time to receive their drinks & dishes before us. Overall everyone was quite nice, but I cannot say it was my best experience. Small tidbit, our first waiter spoke english & french, but seemed to struggle a bit(with french), but I applaud their choice to come back to make sure of our order instead of taking it wrong. Strongest point of this place, is the ambiance, the decor, & the art, & sort of terrace behind, which is isolated from the busy streets.

Great spot for lunch! Fast, friendly service, prices ok (for Old Montreal, anyway). I ordered the chicken pot pie, & it was very good. The sauce was maybe missing a kick (more white wine, maybe?), but the portion was generous & filled with juicy, tender chicken & the pastry was phenomenal. Some kind of side (steamed veg, green salad) would have been welcome for the price. Nonetheless, highly recommended!
Atmosphere: Lovely, it's like eating in a restaurant from the 1700-1800s. Food: Amazing, everything was fresh & apparently it's made from scratch. Yes, they bake their own bread. They buy raw ingredients & make everything from square 0. Service: Anastasia was our waitress & she provided outstanding service :)
Service & atmosphere were fine. The food was very underwhelming. Drinks were quite pricey, but for the area I guess that makes sense. The inside is very busy & hot, but the outdoors has nicer seating.
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.

This is a must in the old Montreal area. The drinks are great & the food is always good. Whether you're going for a quick bite, a drink, a dessert or whatever you're in the mood for, this place never disappoints.
Superb food, pork chop was amazing. Great beer & wine, & they were super helpful finding us a good spot to eat with kids on a busy service day. A great meal!
The chicken pot pie is the best I've ever tried. It was suggested by the man seating next to us & he said it was his favorite chicken pot pie & that he went to this place every week to have it. He was right, it was amazing, & the price was fair considering the amount of food. We also had drinks (Lysa is a must try) & the smoked sturgeon as an appetizer, which was really good as well. It gets pretty crowded, but it was easy to get a table for two (Thursday dinner) & the service was so lovely they even managed to get us a table in the backyard, which is adorable!
Quick, friendly, welcoming & expert service. The staff were wonderful, even explicitly searching for specific merch sizes for us at the end of our visit. The food was really great; every dish we had was interesting, presented well & flavourful, & the right amount of food. We are from out of town & visited on a recommendation from others. The restaurant is in a lovely old building in Old Montreal, with stone walls, fireplace, & different rooms, allowing for different table configurations. The atmosphere was lovely, the food & service was impeccable. The restaurant was not too noisy or too crowded, the seating was comfortable, the temperature was perfect inside & it was an all-around great experience.
My favourite pub in Montréal. I eat here every time I visit. Had to finally leave a five star review because the pork chop & salad I had tonight was the best meal I've ever had in a restaurant!!
Really cool place for evening drinks & a bite to eat with good music. On the night we did have a significant wait on the food which we were not informed about but it was fine. The potted chicken, fish pie were good but the fries which accompanied the house burger were burnt which was a shame as they were nicely seasoned. Price wise probably a bit pricey for what is obviously pub food but the venue dictates that to some extent.
