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.

Food is nice. But it is very expensive. The quantity of the food was not worth the amount we spent on it. I think there are places where we can get the same taste with lower price.View more

The Farsides... What can I say - this place has a special spot in my heart as we are planning something special here next year. From the minute we walked in the door, we were treated like royalty by both the staff & management. Everyone was SO friendly, kind, & amazing to have coming by our table. The drinks & food were to die for (honestly can't wait to eat here again STAT) & perfect for sharing across the table. My father-in-law can be particular with tastes & even he enjoyed the food - I don't think he put the burger down for a second because he was enjoying it so thoroughly. I can't say enough good things! There is so much to enjoy & explore here - your eyes will always find something new in the decor & the ambiance is so cool. We are so looking forward to wowing our friends in your space next year & will be back before that for sure. 15/10 recommend!View more

Came with a large group of friends on a busy Friday night & had a great time. We had the sharing menu, everything was delicious & came out pretty fast. Drinks & cocktails were amazing aswell. Janele & Sadya were our top notch servers. Steve the GM was always available & made sure everything was running smoothly throughout the evening. Thanks Farsides for the great night 👌🏼View more

Visited a Sunday night, so can't comment too much on ambiance or vibes as it was very calm. But decor was very cool, looks like a fun place. The food was good. Shared ceviche, skewers, chicken wings & a pad thai. I LOVED the chicken wings, whereas my partner adored the lemongrass pork skewer. The ceviche was good, but served on a tostada, which was not easily consumed. Pad Thai was good, but I don't know if it merited the price. Chicken, shrimp & tofu, but the tofu was the most prominent protein. The nuts were toasted which is a nice feature. Service was fine, not as attentive as I'd expect given that the restaurant was not that busy. Had wine, did not try their cocktails which are $20 each.View more

Good ambiance & music, service was excellent. Tiny portions & spring rolls tasted like out of the freezer, not worth the money. Nice cocktails options.View more

The food was crazy expensive! I don't know how people can afford to eat here. The vibe & the music is what makes this place worth visiting. Just be sure to eat dinner beforehand to save you moneyView more

Went with a group of 7 people. Service was excellent. Menu was a bit daunting with Thai Hawaiian fusion cuisine. We were offered a sharing menu for $65 per person. That offering was fantastic for the wide variety of flavours & menu items. Definitely a great sampler spread with something for everyone. Some items were a tad spicy & not for the lighter palettes. Drinks were beautifully present & cocktails tasted great. Would definitely go back & definitely recommend for a hip place with retro 80s, 90s 2000s hip hop vibes with great DJ. Went on a Friday night prior to Canada Day. Price was reasonable for the amount of food we got for 7 people. Honestly it could have fed 12 people as we were all more than full & still had leftovers to pack up in doggie bags. 7 people all with drinks & $65 per person sharing menu cost us about $650 tax in before tip. Remember to tip your servers as they would tip out bartenders & support staff. Great overall experience & not outrageous for the superb quality of service & food.View more
