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.
Very lovely staff. Professional & very friendly & they certainly know how to make a mean cocktail. A really well stocked bar, & a very impressive range of Scotch whiskies, & a top shelf to die for...... I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to chill over a pint or a cocktail ... Five stars for sure.
We had such a great dinner. Have to lead with the food. I have been salivating for the Salmon Pave since leaving. Drinks were interesting & excellent. The atmosphere & service were right behind it. Seating is a little tight but plan to go back soon.

Zev at Wolf & Workman was incredible! Super friendly, attentive, & made great recommendations. He truly elevated our night with top-notch service & great vibes. Ask for Zev you won't regret it!
This place is one of my fav!!! Original & inventive cocktails, good food, great ambiance & I like the vintage decor.
I recommend the beef stroganoff is you are on the market for good comfort food after one of those days at work....
My family & in-laws came for a late dinner. I just want to preface this by saying we are from Atlanta & we are used to good food & this place did not disappoint. Three people got each of the potpies (beef stroganoff, chicken & fisherman). All 3 were fantastic! My son got a burger & fries. That burger is in my personal top 5 burgers in my life! Overall we had a great experience. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!
