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.
Very nice lunch here. Duck salad was excellent & the club sandwich was a bit too bready but delicious nonetheless. Great service & atmosphere too. Good date spot.
Nous avons mangé un club sandwich & une salade avec canard .
Deux portions généreuses , bien présentées & de bon goût
Service rapide & attentionné.
Salle peu bruyante.
On y retourne sans hésitation

A very disappointing experience. Food was average at best, only the soup was delicious, the rest was average, wine was average. Service by the waiter was below average, it's a choice not to smile to customers, a sad one, but not to say thank you for a 20+% tip on a circa $100 is just rude. The manager was the only decent courteous person there.
We were a little unsure when we walked in as the restaurant was empty. We ordered breakfast. It was lovely. Hubby's eggs were perfectly cooked & everything was tasty. I ordered yogurt & fruit. All fresh fruit & lots of it. The service was excellent. We are going again tomorrow. We enjoyed it so much.
We went back a second time & again it was perfection. Best breakfast in Montreal. We talked to the chef/owner. Such passion for creating exceptional food. It is enjoyable eating breakfast where the chef really cares if you enjoy the food. Such a culinary delight.
Excellent!
Très content de mon expérience.
Un brunch très bon & suffisamment copieux.
Service parfait.
Ambiance sereine, calme & respectueuse, à une heure tardive pour un brunch (14h30)
À vous si c'est de même à des heures plus achalandées...
Mais je suis conquis.
Very nice cozy restaurant with the most incredibly nice staff ever 😇😇 They really take care of you! We had the salmon tartare with salad along with the catch of the day (sea bass with potatoes & grilled vegetables) & each bite was just Wow! Full compliments to the chef 😇😇 Cannot wait to come back to this 11/10 restaurant as it's the perfect venue for date nights & chilling with friends ❤?❤?
I can see why this is rated 4.9 ⭐! I think they've earned every single review as the setting was nice & comfortable, the servers were friendly, & the food was delicious.
Came here for dinner on a weeknight & it wasn't busy at all. The portions were quite large, & you get some bread as starters. The calamari was done just right, & the sauce was tasty. The chicken club sandwich was very good too, along with the pasta. The burger was alright.

Had a wonderful experience at 1881; my steak was juicy & cooked perfectly the way I like, & their cavatelli was al dente with just the right amount of pesto, sundried tomatoes & parmesan. Thomas, our server was friendly & attentive. Give them a try if you're in the around.
Visiting Montreal for the first time. Quality food, well prepared, high quality ingredients, & amazing presentation. This place deserves 5 star rating.

5-star is not enough for Lea's superb service & warm personality! We also enjoyed the food a lot made by the chef Gary - from the soup to the cod, everything is so fresh & tasty. A very nice dining experience for sure.
thanks to Lea's incredibly warm & welcoming service - she truly made us feel at home.
surprise came when Chef Gary himself came out to introduce the dishes & kindly answered my questions - such a pleasure to meet him & even take a photo together!
The standout dish of the day was definitely the tomato soup - a cold, refreshing surprise with cucumber notes & a beautifully layered mix of spices. Very unique!
The pan-seared cod was super fresh, & I loved the crispy texture of the skin.
The Burger 1881 is one of my favorite - the bun was light & airy, while the patty was tight, juicy, & full of flavor. The coffee was… well, just your average coffee.
