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.

Quel bon resto, nous avons adoré. Des ingrédients de première qualité, une recherche en cuisine, un service d'une grande gentillesse, super ambiance, le meilleur resto sur Monkland & un des meilleurs de l'Ouest de la ville. La carte des vins vaut la peine d'être lue. En saison, la terrasse est vraiment agréable.

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.

Absolutely stellar, a solid 10/10! If I had to sum up my time here in a single word, it would be "balance". The culinary creations are not just inventive, they're impeccably balanced. The service is simply outstanding. Corinne & Tom behind the bar were a treat to watch. It almost felt like they were siblings, they were so in sync & they never left anyone waiting. It's clear that every member of the team is not only knowledgeable but operates in perfect harmony. As for the ambiance, it's a perfect blend of funky, upscale, & casually chic. You could step in wearing your finest attire or rock a t-shirt & jeans & totally feel right at home. I was first welcomed by Barb, one of the owners, who was welcoming, personable & had her finger on the pulse of everything! I love seeing an owner lead by example on the floor. & I was incredibly fortunate that my dining journey was personally curated by none other than the executive chef part owner, Josh Crowe. Having recently returned from a culinary adventure in Italy, I couldn't help but feel transported back to the streets of Rome & Florence with each bite at Monkland Tavern. Yet it still felt uniquely Canadian as Josh is proud to source a large amount of the ingredients locally. This experience undoubtedly ranks among the finest I've ever had. I'm already eagerly anticipating my return. Monkland Tavern comes with my highest recommendation to all. A heartfelt thank you to the remarkable staff for making this experience truly exceptional. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The chef knows what he's doing. Excellent ingredients, simple but creative & well-executed dishes (the fish!) of Italian inspiration. Regards to the staff who are attentive but not fussy. I would have taken off half a star for the choice of wines by the glass, they were a little disappointing.
