Review Summary

Across reviews, Taverne Monkland is described as a Montreal staple that delivers a refined yet welcoming dining experience with inventive dishes, fresh ingredients, and a strong drinks program. Diners consistently praise the creative menu, the variety of flavors, and the freshness of the fare, especially seafood, while noting generous portions on many plates. Service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, professional, and friendly, with the front of house described as warm and precise. The atmosphere is intimate and chic, and the terrace in summer adds to the overall vibe, though seating can be hard to secure. A few comments mention high prices and occasions where portions feel small for the cost, suggesting that value can vary. Overall the consensus is that the restaurant offers reliable quality, memorable dining, and is a must visit for those in Montreal.

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.

Not a very varied menu. But what they do make is very fresh & tasty. Portions are good as well. The vibe & atmosphere is what makes this place. Extensive drink menu too. Parking is on street & in that neighborhood-good luck.

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!

Not my preferred tavern location based on the atmosphere mostly. My friend & I were sat right in the middle of the restaurant, & the waiters kept on accidentally bumping into me, while carrying out food/drinks. The music they were playing was definitely a choice: rap music (with cursing & the n word), which seemed odd given the general crowd.

Delicious on a whole new level!! 😍 Appetizer: stripped bass crudo & bread (focaccia with wild stripped bass on a bed of kohlrabi crostone). As a foodie, the crudo was unreal (similar to ceviche). For main, I had the pork chops, quite filling, quite fatty I'm taste & generous proportions. The St Rita drink was perfect cocktail for a sweet ending. Thank you Xavier for excellent service.
