Taverne on the Square in Westmount is a small restaurant focused on steaks and fries. The lighting and decor make this place ideal for a romantic setting.
Reviews describe Taverne Sur Le Square as a reliable favorite with consistently excellent food and attentive service, with standout dishes like crab risotto and the house mac and cheese that are paired with beautifully presented pastas and seasonal options. The wine list is praised for being extensive and well priced, and desserts and amuse-bouche are noted as special touches that elevate the evening. The atmosphere is described as cozy and welcoming, though the space can feel lively and loud on busy nights. Guests celebrate thoughtful service and the kitchen's culinary talent, and many look forward to returning. A few notes mention that the steak and aligot may not meet expectations, but overall quality and consistency remain high.
What can I say, my friend & I had taken a late walk in Westmount & found ourselves starving at 9pm. Luckily Taverne was still open & Chef Stefano came to take care of us personally. Super fun & literally the best chilli cheese burger… maybe in the whole city? Thanks for taking care of us Stefano! Eggs are top shelf eh! You were not kidding.

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.☺?
Stopped in for a quick after work drink & an appetizer, & it was the perfect way to end the day! One of the best dirty martinis I've had, & those brussel sprouts were incredible 🍸
Another phenomenal evening at Taverne sur le Square-life is good! Each course was beautifully presented & absolutely delicious & full of vibrant flavours. Thank you to the entire team for your welcoming hospitality & service & sharing your culinary talents. We can't wait to return!
Was in Montreal for my anniversary & a friend recommended Taverne Sur Le Square & it did not disappoint. I had the house Mac & cheese & I will say this was the best version I've ever had. The cacio e pepe brussel sprouts was also delicious. Service was exceptional. Will definitely be returning & recommend a visit to my friends & family.
Amazing personable service, the menu has something for everyone which is hard to do & their specials are seasonal & delicious.
Now the wines, they have a great & extensive wine list with great price points PLUS a huge cellar list. If you love wine you must come here & be treated to a great evening of food & wine.
Oh & the dessert menu is superb. Love restaurants where it's hard to choose what to eat because everything sounds & is delicious.
Can't wait to come back.

Excellent restaurant overall
The food quality, the servers & the ambiance all great
I've been coming here for over 15 years, & they find it getting better with time
The pastas are exceptionally delicious
Atrocious service, AVOID THIS PLACE. The woman who came to meet me at their restaurant left in the middle of the meal without paying. Instead of calling the police & filing a complaint against the offender, they pressured me to pay. I will be taking legal action against the restaurant, which acted in bad faith rather than taking the proper legal path of filing a complaint against the person who committed the theft of service.
À éviter absolument.
Service atroce. J'ai vécu une situation inacceptable : une femme que je rencontrais pour la première fois est partie en plein milieu du repas sans payer. Au lieu d'appeler la police & de porter plainte contre la véritable fautive, le restaurant a exercé de la pression sur moi pour régler l'addition complète. Ce comportement démontre une mauvaise fois manifeste. J'entamerai des recours contre l'établissement, qui a choisi la facilité au lieu de suivre la voie légale en visant la personne ayant commis un vol de service.
