Restaurant 1881 recueille des avis majoritairement positifs sur des ingrédients frais, des plats savoureux et un service attentif dans un cadre moderne et cosy; les convives louent les portions généreuses et des plats phares tels que la salade de canard, les tartares, le shakshuka et les brunches, avec des prix raisonnables pour le centre-ville de Montréal; l'ambiance est décrite comme calme et propice à la conversation, et l'espace donne souvent l'impression d'une adresse coup de cœur à revisiter; quelques critiques mentionnent un service parfois plus lent en heures chargées et des tables près des fenêtres qui peuvent être un peu froides, mais dans l'ensemble les clients repartent impressionnés et enclins à revenir avec des amis.

Je conseille ce super restaurant où on y mange très bien à un prix raisonnables. Le personnel est super sympa. La nourriture de très bonne qualité & de fait en fait un endroit incontournable à Montréal
The 1881 Breakfast, served on weekends only, was my first meal in Montreal, setting the bar for the rest of my visit in this beautiful city. Every part of this dish was singularly delicious, & incredible together. If you're a dinner-for-breakfast person, this is your dish. The beef was perfectly seasoned & fork-tender. The chunky mashed potatoes with duck fat atop a cheese base was divine. The breaded fried soft boiled egg added the perfect texture. As if the meal itself wasn't enough, the dish is served with fruit & generous slices of buttered artisan bread. Well done, Restaurant Le 1881! 👏🏼
After a delayed flight, we arrived as the final guests of the evening, not expecting much. To our surprise, every dish exceeded expectations. The fish was delicately seasoned, highlighting its natural freshness, while the duck leg salad was a standout - the meat meltingly tender against the crisp, sweet greens. The thoughtful flavors turned what could have been a tiring night into a warm & memorable welcome, marking the perfect start to our trip. Recommend!
You would never believe 1. that this is a restaurant from the outside & 2. The exceptionally good food that comes out of the kitchen. An absolute gem & seriously good value.
Excellent, market fresh, well executed food. You can't go wrong eating here! Downtown seems to be filled with chain restaurants & this is a breath of fresh air!
The rudeness of the staff made me change my review, this place is not very busy , & I used to go at least once a week but 3 thursdays I ve been denied a table because I was alone while the restaurant was pretty empty at 1.30 pm & the same waitress each time , she didn't even care that I leave or tried to find a table . unfortunate.
Fantastic breakfast, skip the typical breakfast places like eggspectation or oeuferier. Go here & be happy. Fantastic choices of all kinds but everyone has to try shakshuka.
I've enjoyed lunch here several times. Friendly service in a pleasant setting, not too crowded. The food is excellent. The pasta dishes are flavourful & filling. Tuna tartare is delicious. There's always a fresh fish of the day. Every dish is freshly prepared. Even though it's located at the entrance of a sports club, it's open to the public. Coffee is excellent too. Don't hesitate to come here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed.
We had a wonderful brunch experience at Restaurant LE 1881. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The shakshuka was rich & hearty, with perfectly poached eggs in a vibrant tomato sauce topped with fresh arugula. It came with a side of crisp toast & fresh fruit - a refreshing balance to the warm, savory flavors.
The croissant breakfast sandwich was equally impressive - flaky, buttery pastry enveloping fluffy eggs, melted cheese, & peppery greens, paired with fresh strawberries & melon.
The atmosphere was modern & inviting, with plenty of natural light & comfortable seating. The service was attentive, warm, & genuinely welcoming, adding to the relaxed, enjoyable dining experience.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish yet cozy spot for brunch in the city.
