Info & Location
About us
In Old Montreal, just south of the Financial District, sits The Farsides. Brought to you by John Edward Gumbley (Bord’Elle) and the Jegantic team, the Farsides is an edgy new take on the restaurant and bar scene. Our blend of culinary styling sets the exotic far eastern flavours of Thailand’s shores crashing into the far Western Beaches of Hawaiian cuisine. The result of this fusion is something we like to call Thaiwaiian. A sumptuous combination of authentic Thai and Hawaiian delicacies, merging familiar flavours with elevated function.
Not only do we consider the Farsides to be a unique take on cuisine, we also aim to please with a brand new re-imagining of the Tiki bar concept. Our mixology program features no less than a dozen modern interpretations of classic cocktails you would normally only expect to find on the Islands.
Stepping into the Farsides will be like walking into our version of an alleyway in Brooklyn circa 1992. Complete with brick walls as high as the eye can see, fire escapes, graffiti laced facades and believe it or not our very own hand painted basketball court. Add a touch of the exotic with jungle like overgrowth set to the beat of 80’s & 90’s hip pop and nostalgic memorabilia from the golden age of rap and what you’ll find is The Farsides. Montreal you might not know us but we know you very well.

Good Lobster Pad Thai (unheard of) with great service. Always stop by & ask how is everything. Ginormous portion of food that I was unable to finish & have to take it home.View more

I attended a work event in this restaurant; it had been reserved for us entirely. The ambiance was fantastic, the food was good, & plentiful. They had a slight problem with quick bar service; they should have been more staff behind the bar for such a large group that we were.
But overall, it was a great place to host such an event.
Staff was friendly & helpful.
I'll go back to try as a normal restaurant experience one day.View more

The atmosphere was pretty upbeat & a fun place to be with friends when you have time to pass. If you're extremely hangry, would not recommend as the service is very slow & food takes a bit to arrive. Nice hangout spot though.View more

The foods were so salty & the way how the cocktails menu explained the drink doesn't match up the taste of it. The atmosphere was nice & catch up with friends but wouldn't order food again 🥲 it is sad cuz this place has so much potentialView more

The vibe & the deco of the place is really cool. Seems like it's a great place to be on Friday or Saturday nights. The food for me was just okay, I know it's fusion but very little Thai taste & too bland for me. We tried a bunch of dishes, the seabass was the tastiest & the rest a bit disappointing.View more

Fun, colorful vibes. Chicken skewers were delicious, pad thai was a bit salty for my liking but other than that the drinks were great! The servers were very friendly & took good care of us. Really enjoyed my time!View more

Fun, hip, cool spot with delicious food & cocktails! Thai - Hawaiian fushion which was a great combo of flavors, spices, veggies, meats, etc. The venue is visually very trendy with street graffiti art & anime, has high ceilings, cool furniture, & chill vibes. The waitress was great & personable.View more

Nous sommes arrivé à 20h nous avons eu nos repas à 23h je n'avais même plus faim lorsque nous avons reçu nos plats. Le service était inexistant, j'ai du me lever pour demander les factures & ne me dites pas que c'était parceque le restaurant était plein. J'ai demandé à une serveuse si le Dj venir elle m'as dit d'aller au Bord'elle parcequ'il avait eu que 6 reservations & que l'ambiance allait être meilleur là bas. C'était hyper cher pour rien. Je ne recommande pasView more

Excellent service de la part de l'hôtesse & le Pad thai est excellent. Les drinks étaient également bien le seul point de critique est le prix versus la quantité mais sinon tout était superbe.View more

Was referred by a colleague at work who loves old school hip hop as much as I do & had high hopes for this place…
Sadly, didn't live up to expectations…
Drinks? Beer? What beer? Only had 3 choices, given craft beers' popularity it's very disappointing. At least Painkiller cocktail was delicious!
Food was ordinary & not good value for money, & we tried lots: fresh coast ceviche with 4-5 half slices of shrimp, imperial rolls tiny, mango salad, pineapple Tao chicken mostly batter not chicken, only good value was Pad Thai.
Atmosphere & decor are nice but cannot make up for food & beer!View more
