I had hamburger 1881, & sandwich 1881.. The hamburger was perfect-the thickness & tenderness of the beef patty, the balance of seasoning, & the subtle meat aroma all blended harmoniously without being overshadowed by the other ingredients. From the first bite to the last, I could fully enjoy the essence of a real beef burger. Another detail that deserves applause for the chef was the lightly toasted burger bun. The crisp texture with every bite made it possible to savor the food all the way to the last mouthful. For the chicken sandwich, I thought that if the mayonnaise had been seasoned with something like lemon juice or light herbs, the delicate flavor of the chicken wouldn't have been overwhelmed by the heaviness of the mayo.View more

Le chef Gary & son équipe reçoivent admirablement au 1881. La nourriture délicieuse & l'ambiance très agréable. Une adresse à connaître, surtout pour les groupes (15-20), qui disposent d'un espace semi-privatif dans le fond du restaurantView more

Fantastic dishes, excellent service, & very calming & comfortable atmosphere. I had the beef flank with chimichurri sauce. Very flavorful without being too salty. Will definitely come back.View more

I stumbled upon this restaurant after a workout at the gym, & I'm so glad I did! The lentil soup was absolutely delicious, & the salmon tartare was incredibly refreshing-both dishes were bursting with fresh flavors. The staff was warm & welcoming, & a special shoutout to Gary for making the experience even better. The prices are very affordable, especially considering the top-notch quality of the food. Highly recommend this spot!View more

I don't usually do reviews. But. The food is flavourful, the ingredients are fresh. In line with the MAA spirit the meals are healthy, no chemical or salty sulfite taste. Perfect salads, well seasoned tartares (without tons of mayonnaise), best fries in town... The place feels personal: the team is sweet & the chef - passionate about flavors - is always in the kitchen & often comes to exchange with the customers, to get their honest reviews & to thank them. I have eaten at this place at various occasions by now & I am pleasantly surprised with the consistency of flavors & cooking techniques. & let me tell you - the value for money thing is mind-blowing: good luck finding an alternative for that price! I highly recommend this place.View more

What a hidden gem! We went for weekend brunch & were not disappointed. Beautiful, chic restaurant with professional & friendly staff. The Smoked Salmon Benedict was exceptional. Fresh, flavourful salmon paired with perfectly poached eggs & a delicious hollandaise sauce that left us craving more. On the other hand, the 1881 Breakfast was absolutely incredible. The tender meat, flavourful mashed potatoes, & a fried egg with a runny yolk created a perfect harmony of textures & tastes. This dish was truly a surprise that elevated our breakfast to another level. Hats off to the chef! To be completely honest, the pictures don't do it justice.View more
