The ambiance & atmosphere are what attract people to The Tavern. It is the Monkland staple that Lucillies has to thank for the location being so popular & friendly. The service is on par with any of Montreal's best restaurants. The reason for 5 stars, the consistency of the table d'hote, the specials, the menu & overall food combined with the attentive service... The drinks are superb & unique along with that hard-to-get-a-seat-on terrace in the summer, which adds to an already great vibe.
Try the specials, I promise you they're worth every penny.
Ask the owner for a bottle of wine.View more
Great restaurant in NDG! Classic birthday or event destination. Give their specials a try. Wish they still had their warm cookie on the menu.View more
As newcomers in NDG, this was our first time at Taverne Monkland. Overall this was a mixed bag for us. On the definite positives, the place is beautiful & inviting. We also had fantastic service from our waitress, who explained the day's specials in detail & checked on us many times during our meal. Food wise though, some dishes were good (the tartare special with Calabrese "caviar") or great like the short rib with chasseur sauce, absolutely delicious. But others were bad & felt like they came from a different restaurant. The brassicas Caesar salad was dry & needed more dressing, but the real disappointment was their putanesca dish with freshly made noodles. It was mushy, very bland, tasted mostly like salt & parsley & lacked the punch a putanesca should have. The dessert was also so so (a pain perdu that really isn't a pain perdu). We live nearby so we'll definitely give the restaurant another try in the future & some of their dishes were definitely worth the visit.View more
I can't even begin to describe how much this restaurant goes above & beyond to make a night truly special. We celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday here, & Chef Josh created an incredible menu that was both complex & beautifully simple at the same time. He made sure that every product served on the table was thoughtfully & geniusly sourced from somewhere in Quebec or close to home. That local mentality was shared with us through the stories behind each dish, adding so much depth & meaning to the experience. It was a meal that meant so much to me & my family, & the entire staff ensured everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Thank you for making this celebration unforgettable!View more
Went on a Saturday night with our of town guests. This restaurant has a great vibe. The server was impressive. He knew the menu & specials inside out & was super professional. Excellent bartender knew how to make proper martinis. The food was delicious & perfectly prepared. This all happens because the owner was present & involved, ensuring her guests were well taken care of. Highly recommend Taverne Monklamd.View more
Break away from downtown & hit up this long running spot for dinner & drinks. Located on a closed street with other dining & shopping options. The owner is very nice & took very good care of our group of race fans that escaped the rain. Fun place to spend your evening with friends. The red wine selection from the owner was right in my wheelhouse & helped make the meal something special. See you next year!View more
My spouse & I had the most delightful dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly & seated promptly. Our waiter, who turned out to be the one of 3 chef owner, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu & took the time to explain almost every ingredient in the dishes we chose. We were impressed to learn that many of the ingredients were sourced from the restaurant's own garden, adding a special touch to our meal. The food itself was simply outstanding. The fresh homemade pasta melted in our mouths, & the bass that I ordered was cooked to perfection. Each dish was beautifully presented & bursting with flavor. It was clear that a lot of care & attention had gone into preparing our meals. Overall, we left the restaurant feeling satisfied & eager to return for another culinary adventure. We can't wait to sample more of the menu offerings next time & see what other delicious creations the chef has in store for us. This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations, & we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.View more
