Taverne Monkland propose un profil culinaire robuste axé sur la préparation de viandes grillées, de plats de pâtes artisanales et d'ingrédients frais du marché. La cuisine met l'accent sur la précision dans l'application de la chaleur pour développer des saveurs profondes et savoureuses sur l'ensemble de ses sélections principales. Chaque assiette met en valeur des produits de saison sélectionnés pour garantir constance et qualité tout au long de l'année. L'environnement reste axé sur la fonctionnalité, se concentrant sur un lien direct entre les composants bruts et le plat fini. Les espaces sont disposés pour prioriser l'accès aux postes de cuisson où la technique demeure visible. Cet établissement maintient un engagement singulier envers les méthodes culinaires fondamentales, privilégiant l'attrait des protéines grillées au feu et des préparations à base de féculents faits maison.
Taverne Monkland est largement reconnue comme une institution incontournable de la scène gastronomique montréalaise, appréciée pour sa qualité constante, ses ingrédients de saison et son atmosphère à la fois sophistiquée et accueillante. La clientèle souligne fréquemment le service professionnel et impeccable ainsi que l'environnement chaleureux et collaboratif entretenu par toute l'équipe. Bien que les créations culinaires, incluant les pâtes fraîches, les viandes parfaitement apprêtées et les plats du jour inventifs, soient vivement acclamées, certains convives soulignent que les prix peuvent être élevés par rapport à la taille des portions. Dans l'ensemble, cet établissement demeure une destination de choix pour les repas intimes comme pour les célébrations, grâce à sa terrasse conviviale et à un personnel attentif qui assure une expérience mémorable.
This is without a doubt my favourite restaurant in Montreal.
Not only does the food seem to get better every single time, the service is impeccable, & the vibe is like no other spot. Inviting, cosy, & welcoming to all.
Their pasta is incredible, & if you're looking for a steak, you won't find better - it's always perfection. Their focus is on seasonal products, so you're always getting the freshest & the best.
Grateful to have such a great spot in the neighbourhood.
As always, this place never ceases to amaze me. The service, the quality of the food, & the overall dining experience are consistently exceptional. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back.
A special shoutout to Josh & Barb, who have been absolutely crushing it for years. Their passion, dedication, & commitment to excellence truly shine through in everything they do. If you're looking for an outstanding dining experience, I can't recommend this place highly enough!
I somehow managed to be given the best seat in the house: next to the kitchen, & right next to the chef, Josh Crowe. The experience of sitting at the bar allowed me to better appreciate the inner workings of this 30-year old establishment. The staff were as kind & supportive of each other, as they were to the guests, who filled the restaurant, bar, & terrace on this warm May evening.
I observed Chef Josh & co-owner Barbara Irwin continuously interacting with each staff member. I had never witnessed such a high level of communication, where information flowed seamlessly from the front of the restaurant to the kitchen & vice versa.
My meal began with a great cocktail & was followed by a glass of Spanish red, which paired very well with the best pork chop that I have ever had. The 3-inch thick chop was perfectly cooked & the complex flavours of the dish melted together harmoniously. It has been a few years since my last meal there, but I will be back shortly to enjoy the social sidewalk terrace, which offers the best in NDG people watching.
You may decide to go to the Tavern for the food, cocktails, & wine list, but you will also be treated to the culture that Barbara & Josh have established over the past decade. They have created something special & seem fully committed to maintaining the same high level of culinary experience & appreciation for their patrons.
My overall impression of the Monkland Tavern is one highlighting a collaborative team approach, effective two-way communication, a concentrated attention to every detail of the dining experience, professional courtesy, & mutual respect.
I was impressed & you surely will be too.

It's always such a pleasure to eat here. The service is professional & polished but also warm & generous. Food is fresh & plentiful. We enjoyed the beet salad, mushroom cavatelli. bavette, ragu tagliatelle & striped bass. We went for a family birthday & left feeling like we'd had a proper celebration. Thank you to all the staff.
The food & drinks was amazing & the service absolutely killed. The ambiance was spectacular & I would highly recommend for a date or a family thing, or even on your own at the bar!!!
Tanner was an absolute hoot. & Victoria has the same name as the town I come from!
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. 🙏☺?
