My husband & I came here on our last day of being in Montreal. We were worried about coming in too early as they had just opened but as soon as we entered they greeted us so warmly with big smiles.
The fish sandwich was so delicious, & I appreciate the bread being buttered as well. The fish itself was perfectly crisp on the outside & flaky, & soft yet firm on the inside. You could tell the fish was really fresh! They definitely give you a perfect portion of fish for the sandwich. The sauce & coleslaw were excellent too. I was hesitant to have the cheese with it at first but it actually went really well with it, so I'm glad I got it as is.
The poutine was also great & the cheese curds tasted fresh.
As we left they asked us how everything was, if it tasted good & if we enjoyed. You can tell they really care.
Everything was amazing & the wonderful customer service made the experience even moreso. Our only regret is that we came here on the last day of our trip. But we will definitely be back next time we come to Montreal!
Had fish in ships in London & it wasn't half as good as this place. VERY GENEROUS portions of fries. Well seasoned fish & amazing shrimps. Wish I had tried they're juices instead of a soda
I had an amazing experience at Rubian Restaurant in Montréal. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting, with a stylish yet cozy feel. The service was impeccable-attentive without being overbearing, & the staff made us feel genuinely welcome.
Now, the food… absolutely delicious! Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, & clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can taste the love & authenticity in every bite. Whether you're going for a casual meal or a special evening out, Rubian delivers on all fronts.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Montréal. I'll definitely be coming back!
