Rufus & Anna is a bar nestled in the heart of Hochelaga, where the desire to drink well, eat well, and stay late come together. Here, we share perfectly roasted chicken, toast with bold cocktails, dine late, vibe to good music, and most of all… we come back. A festive bar, heartfelt cuisine, and a cozy atmosphere. Welcome to our nest.
Overall impressions point to Rufus Anna as a warm and welcoming spot with generous portions, strong cocktails, and a menu that celebrates chicken. The ambiance is repeatedly described as cozy and inviting, with a stylish setting that suits casual meals and celebrations. Service is noted as attentive and friendly, though a few reviews mention occasional delays or slower pacing during busy periods. Dishes and sides like gravy, crispy potatoes, and comforting classics are frequently highlighted as highlights, while some items are described as pricey for the portion or not fully up to expectations. Taken together, guests seem eager to return to enjoy the atmosphere, the drinks, and the consistent quality in food.
Nous avons passé une superbe expérience au Rufus & Anna! Si vous y allez, installez-vous au bar sans hésitation. Vincent va vous servir comme des rois 👌
Un lieu parfait pour boire un cocktail ou manger. Les frites à la truffe sont incroyables. Le service par Vincent a été parfait, je recommande à 1000%. La direction artistique a été travaillé de la déco à la carte des cocktails.

Great spot with a welcoming vibe & consistently delicious food. Huge shoutout to Chef Vinny - his talent really shows in every dish. Definitely worth a visit.
I had a great experience at Rufus & Anna's this weekend.
It was my 1st visit & I will DEFINITELY return!!
The roasted chicken was, by far, the best I've had. The chickens they source from a local supplier are slightly bigger in size & high quality. The chef has mastered the rotisserie process to a gold standard level. The staff was welcoming, knew their menu & offered continuous service all evening. I highly recommended it! Well done R&A team!
We visited last weekend & while the food was genuinely enjoyable, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. One staff member in particular, recognizable by her beanie, made the visit uncomfortable with a noticeably dismissive attitude throughout our time there.
What was most surprising was learning afterward that she had made comments to my wife regarding our gratuity. Feedback about a tip directly to a guest is unprofessional & frankly inappropriate in any service setting. It created an uncomfortable situation that overshadowed an otherwise pleasant meal.
We won't be returning, which is a shame given the quality of the food.

LE resto où aller dans l'Est de Montréal !! Place chaleureuse, service impeccable, nourriture délicieuse & que dire du décor 🤩 Nous reviendrons, c'est sûr !
Seul point à améliorer : la musique un peu trop forte 😅
Un must!! J'ai été charmé par absolument tout; le staff (Vinny, Vincent & Ben wow wow wow!!) l'ambiance, la nourriture, c'était une réussite sur toute la ligne. J'ai juste hâte d'y retourner!! :)
Excellente expérience chez Rufus & Anna. Ambiance conviviale, service chaleureux & très attentif. Un des meilleurs poulet que j'ai mangé!
L'équipe est solide, professionnelle, & ça se ressent autant en salle que dans l'assiette. Une adresse à garder & à recommander sans hésiter.
Une première visite, sur recommandation. Une soirée de filles qui aime les bons plats & le bon service. Nous avons reçu un bon accueil. & que dire que la qualité des plats que nous avons mangé. Le meilleur poulet en ville, la sauce de loin ma préféré. Nous étions 5 & c'est unanime! you are the best chicken in town. Si vous n'avez pas encore vécu l'expérience Rufus & Anna, je vous le recommande fortement!
