Overall, reviews of Taverne Atlantic praise a stunning space with a warm, lively vibe, a showy open kitchen and a rooftop terrace that shines in good weather. The atmosphere, decor and buzzing energy are repeatedly highlighted, and the cocktails are described as creative while the pizzas and snacks are often noted as highly enjoyable, with some calling the pizzas and house specialties standout. The wine list is broad, though some feel prices are high for the value. Food can be hit or miss for some items, with a few dishes seeming salty or not living up to expectations, while others are described as excellent. Service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness by many, but others report long waits, especially for larger groups or on busy nights, and some experiences feel rushed or cold. Music and noise levels can be loud, making conversation difficult, though this adds to the lively vibe. A number of reviews describe it as a hidden gem worth visiting for drinks, ambiance and a memorable night out, with many saying they would return when in town. In short, Taverne Atlantic delivers impressive decor, a vibrant atmosphere and strong drinks, with room to improve consistency of service and acoustics during peak hours.
Un incontournable du quartier! Si bien caché qu'une fois rentré, vous serez charmé par l'ambiance chaleureuse qui le caractérise. Les employés sont professionnels tout en étant friendly, la cuisine est ouverte sur l'entrée, la nourriture… AMAZING, & les cocktails sont divins. Sans oublier la carte des vins qui est d'une sélection ma fois impressionnante. Je le recommande autant pour une soirée entre amies que pour une date intime.
La Taverne Atlantic a-t-elle trouvé la recette parfaite pour un bar-resto sans anicroche? Je pense bien que oui!
Had an amazing dinner at Taverne Atlantic in Montreal.
The location alone sets the tone-great vibe, great energy, & the perfect spot to unwind. The food was genuinely impressive: super tasty, creative, & full of little twists that make each dish memorable.
A special shoutout to Allegra, who served us with so much warmth & confidence. She recommended the perfect cocktails & helped us choose a pizza that ended up being one of the highlights of the night. Her suggestions were spot-on & really elevated the whole experience.
Overall, a fantastic evening with excellent food, a fun atmosphere, & standout services.

I really liked the atmosphere & the way this place has been put together - it has a unique charm that makes you excited to be there. However, the wait time was honestly crazy. They don't take reservations after 7 p.m., so it's very unpredictable when you'll actually get seated, especially if your group has more than four people. Be prepared to wait.
In our case, we were celebrating my friend's birthday & ended up waiting about an hour, mostly standing behind the bar, which was far from comfortable. A special occasion should feel a little more organized & welcoming.
I also think the staff could be a bit friendlier. While no one was outright rude, the service lacked warmth. What disappointed me the most was the birthday moment itself - when I asked for a cake, they brought it with no birthday music, even though we noticed birthday music being played for other tables while we were there. It made the experience feel less special. Also, don't expect a complimentary birthday dessert; unlike many bars, they don't offer a small cake on the house. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's something to keep in mind so you can plan ahead.
Another downside was the music volume. While the playlist was great & added to the lively vibe, it was a bit too loud at times, making it difficult to have a normal conversation without raising our voices.
That said, I highly recommend trying the cocktails. They offer some creative & refreshing flavor combinations that you don't find everywhere, & it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Don't miss the pizza breads - they are absolutely delicious & the perfect complement to the drinks. & despite everything, the taste of the cake was truly special & memorable.
I ordered a non alcohol cocktail of greek yogurt, soda & lime & a normal hot dog.
The hot dog had too strong mustard for me.
It was a bit too loud to talk.
Bonne place pour aller prendre une bouchée & boire un bon cocktail. La terrasse en haut est souvent pleine mais possible de prendre un verre en bas avant de monte

Belle découverte. l'entrée ne paye pas de mine, mais l'intérieur est magnifique & la terrasse est superbe. À envisager pour un beau coucher de soleil romantique.
Les cocktails sont excellents & les pizzas sont à recommander.
très bon service
J'habite pas loin & c'est ma place préférée ! Le personnel est super, la nourriture & les cocktails extras! Je recommande :) (Aussi la décoration & l'ambiance au top :3)
J'ai été souper avec mon copain ce soir, c'était excellent. Nous avons été servi par Raphaël, un service impeccable.
Nos avons sélectionné les pizzas (Saucisses & Gigi) toutes les deux excellentes. Les cocktails? idem, nous avons même eux des recommandations de notre serveur tant qu'à nos choix. Nous voulions accéder à la terrasse, très bon service pour l'attente en bas, finalement la salle à manger & l'ambiance était tellement agréable que nous avons choisi du rester. Une soirée impeccable ✨
Really great hidden gem! The cocktails are super tasty - drink responsibly! I had some nachos & I bet you they were home made & the salsa had to have been home made because it was so fresh! My wife ordered a pizza & even that was great. A simple Margarita pizza full of flavor!
If you're on the fence of where to go, make a point of going to Atlantic!

The service here is excellent, the cocktails are classy, tasty, & generously boozy & the food is top notch. I had a white negroni & a sausage pizza amd a salad & my stomach was full & I wasn't disappointed.
If you want a Pinterest-worthy date spot that makes you look effortlessly cool, Taverne Atlantic is it. Moody lighting, stylish decor, & elite cocktails set the vibe, while the food is solid enough to keep you from post-date poutine. Whether the date's a hit or miss, there's always a next time at Taverne Atlantic.

Super charming place, love the decoration & the size of the bar which also feels classy. Cocktails are really good but there are others which shouldnt be there. Food is nice & service was perfect.
Belle ambiance, les cocktails étaient plutôt bons & nous avons aimé les choux de bruxelles! Le service était un peu lent, notre serveur ne passait pas très souvent & nous avons eu un peu de difficulté à commander d'autres trucs à boire.
