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.

I made reservations for my birthday & was seated practically next to the bathrooms, & I asked to be moved & was told they're all booked, find it so hard to believe considering it had two floors. I should've left. The food on top of it was mediocre, but the ambiance was nice. I don't think I'll go backView more

Deuxième expérience négative, j'ai toujours trouvé que c'etais un bel endroit & les drinks sont excellent. Cependant pour la nourriture, on repassera. Mon Steak était très froid (comme si il avait été cuit il y a 30 minutes), Le pad thaï sentais mauvais, & le gout assez moyen. J'ai pas l'intention d'y retourner.View more

My experience at this restaurant was not great. The music was really loud, making it hard to speak to the people you were sitting next to, & it just kept getting louder as the evening went on. The service was slow, at best; it took hours to get our food, & waiting between courses was a painful drag. Then, when the food finally arrived, every course was disappointing. I had the Spring Rolls for an appetizer, which was a pitiful plate of two meager rolls but I will say it was not the worst taste of the night. For the main, I had the Kalbifornia Love ribs; now these absolutely fell off the bone in every tender bite, which I did like, but the vegetables were hard as a rock & hard to chew, which made a bad pairing. Additionally, my plate came with a complimentary hair on it, which put me off my meal when I saw it. To go with my dinner, I had a pitcher of the Malibu Thang sangria, which looked & tasted like yogurt & didn't seem to have any alcohol in it. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was very disappointing & I can't see myself recommending friends to check it out.View more

Great vibe! Great food! The flank steak plate with fries was amazing. The meat was very tender & the fries were so tasty. The sauce on top is so good too. Really good! Would definitely recommend this place! The mango passion fruit cheesecake is amazing as well. Great service.View more

We had the pleasure of receiving excellent service, from Justine, & delicious food. I was skeptical about the loaded fries, thinking that the avocado & fries mix would be a bad attempt to mimic nachos, but that combination worked surprisingly well. The drinks did have quite a bit of ice in them, but were good nonetheless.View more
