We love coming here-often with my dear friend Victoria, who I've known forever-& tonight was especially special celebrating her birthday with my husband Brian. Chef Steve surprised us with a special amuse-bouche that was absolutely incredible. The service was excellent-Kaylee took great care of us throughout the evening. Thank you for such a memorable night. As always, the food was consistently perfect. 🙏☺?
Our small group enjoyed a flawless experience. Highly recommend the chefs menu, wonderful variety of flavors, so fresh, the chef Josh is like a marvelous tour guide & the service was impeccable. Can't wait to return.

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!
It has been about 10-12 years since I was last at Taverne on Monkland, & I have to say that I was so disappointed. I am a Monkland Village resident & Love to support my local restos, but I will not be going back. The Caesar salad at approx $25 was dry & had little excitement, I had to ask for salt & pepper for the table since I guess the chef knows best on seasoning. My mother had what looked like very dry pasta with tiny shrimp for $35 & I had the steak frites which was a tiny 7oz lesser cut without any flavour. After all the food disappointment we were told at 7:15 that we had to leave to free up the table, our reservation was at 5:30. $185 later for two, this has to be one of my worst dining experience in a very very long time. I will more than happily pay a premium for a good meal, here I just felt ripped off & insulted.
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!!!

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.
Been coming here for years - always delicious surprises leaving you perfectly content.
Terrific service as well - thank you to Liam, William & chef Masha (?)
& as always a very special Huge thanks to Barb for always going the extra mile :)
