Exceptionally dedicated & pleasant kitchen chef making a superb breakfast sandwich named 1881 w/ homemade sausage.
Highly recommended.
A bit quiet place, but perfect for me.
Also, coffee machine was not ideally tweaked at my visit, so if a coffee nerd (like me), go here for the excellent food.
Nevertheless, there was a clear desire to to make high class coffee & e.g. grinder was definitely capable & sourcing of beans were also prioritized.

Best food ever:) Nice ambiance; generous restaurant; made with love:)
I had the hamburger with fries, cooked medium, & it was absolutely phenomenal - possibly the best burger I've ever had. The quality of the meat really stood out: rich, flavorful, & clearly fresh. It was cooked perfectly, juicy without being greasy, & the grilled onions added a sweet, smoky touch that took it to another level.
The bun was fresh & held everything together without falling apart, & the toppings were well-balanced - nothing overpowering, just complementing the star of the show: the beef.
The fries were crispy, golden, & clearly made with care. Every part of the plate felt thoughtfully prepared.
If you're in Montreal & want a burger that's a cut above the rest, Le 1881 is a must-try. I'll absolutely be coming back.

Très beau restaurant, spacieux, accueillant. Excellente nourriture. À recommander.
We hosted an event here, excellent venue! The food was spectacular, great service & a great location overall. From the delicious full course meal to the great ease in organizing the event, I would absolutely recommend. Gary & team did a great job, thank you!
I came in for breakfast & had the most perfect breakfast sandwich with a side of amazing potatoes. The wait staff was super friendly & efficient, & the coffee was superb !
