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 Monkland Taverne is hands down of the all time great restaurants in Montreal, EVERYTIME I dine here I am blown away by the creativity & quality of the dishes Chef Josh & his team (Chris & Misha)produce from their kitchen. Barb marches quality in the front of house with warmth & precision to deliver an always phenomenal dining experience. Special shout out to Sabrina & Tanner for providing top tier service! Can't wait for the next visit!

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!

Tonight I made an impromptu decision to dine at The Tavern. After receiving a warm welcome by the staff, Barbara, Tom & the amazing chef Josh made this a memorable meal. I was taken back to the Amalfi Coast by the spectacular meal & beverages. The only things lacking were the Italian serenade & the view of the Mediterranean!!!

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. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
