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.

Nous sommes allés tôt pour drinks & souper. L'endroit a vraiment une bonne vibe malgré qu'il n'y avait pas grand monde. Cela nous a surpris pour un vendredi soir & suite à l'expérience que nous avons eu. Notre serveuse était excellente (elle a mentionné être la serveuse en charge) & nous a expliqué tout son menu ainsi que faite de bonnes suggestions en prenant compte de nos goûts. Nous étions très contente de notre expérience & allons définitivement y retourner!View more

The 90s hip hop atmosphere is visually pleasing, there's so much cool stuff to see! Love the new fries & burger option, there's just so much to try! The music is also on point for hip hop lovers. Our host Steve went above & beyond, making sure we were happy & taken care of.View more

The Farside is a super club located at the edge of Old Montreal. You go there to eat, & as the night sets, the music gets louder, transforming into a club. If you plan on having conversations, try to avoid making late reservations as it will be closer to a club ambiance rather than a restaurant. The food is great, & the service is okay, but the interior design is absolutely amazing. The vibrant atmosphere & stylish decor make it a unique spot for both dining & nightlife.View more

The food here was good, very flavorful! The staff were very friendly as well, but when we went (on a Saturday night) it was quite empty & there was no dancing. Can recommend the Thai green curry, although it's mildly spicy, it's very flavorful!View more

Had an absolutely amazing night!! We were quite the big group 20 people, & had multiple requests & the staff definitely delivered. The new set up allows to have multiple big groups in, without feeling overly crowded. We had a banquette in the back of the resto. Another prop of the resto: i had multiple questions about menu/event etc & the resto calls back quickly, responds in messenger- so surprisingly was fairly easy to reach & add more people to our reservation. Now the menu - wow! Its tasty. We had the 65$ group menu, & no one left hungry its like a tasting of their whole menu, you get to try it all. The poke bowl 🔥🔥🔥 the carry just wow, the kind of spicy that gets you hot but so tasty ypu get some more. Our group stayed super happy!View more

Place had great atmosphere but unfortunately it felt like any other instagram restaurant food looked good but was pretty lacking in terms of flavors,View more

I like the atmosphere & the music. They have a promotion on Fridays between 11pm-midnight to get a bottle for only $150. Either vodka or whiskey if I remember correctly. Great way to start the night.View more

Very delicious food & kind staff! Little on the pricier side but it comes with the old port experience. Portions could be bigger, I had the pad Thai & was still hungry. We were celebrating a birthday & were aware we had a time limit, but the food arrived late & we felt a little rushed to leave. Didn't get a chance to order dessert & they made us pay before we got to sing happy birthday 😅View more

Le staff est vraiment sympathique & la bouffe thaïlandaise hyper bonne. L'ambiance est décontractée, c'est une excellente place pour aller fêter. Malheureusement, il y a une entrave majeure devant le resto c'est du trouble en maudit s'y rendre déjà que dans ce coin c'est pas le fun de se déplacer. Si vous êtes à pieds ou en transport en commun c'est mieux. Bravo pour l'endroit & merci à votre équipe!View more

L'ambiance était très nice j'ai adorer le côté rétro les cocktails était très bon Le service était un peux absent s'en plus La bouffe par contre c'était très ordinaire j'ai commandée des rouleaux de printemps & ils sont arriver frit ce qui n'était pas préciser sur le menu ce qui serais un atout car la c'est un attrape touriste car ça goûtait le rouleaux impériaux congelé la serveuse nous a dis qu'ils avais souvent de mauvais retour sur ce plat après que je lui ai mentionner que ce n'était pas des rouleaux de printemps Pour le reste c'était ok sans plus j'aurais pus faire mon général tao moi même dans un ananas à la maison ça l'aurais goûter pareil rien de fou mais c'est beau pour le Tok pis le gram i guess Si nous revenons ça seras seulement pour un verre définitivement pas pour mangeView more

Belle expérience mais trop cher pour ce que c'est. L'ambiance est bien & on a eu un bon service assis au bar.View more

Nous sommes allés en groupe un samedi soir. Restaurant d'apparence, sans aucune profondeur. Le service laissait à désirer, l'hôtesse très désagréable, la serveuse gentille par contre. Les cocktails pas buvables (& on en a essayé plusieurs), vin rouge servi chaud. La nourriture est bonne, mais pas suffisamment pour compenser toutes les autres lacunes du restaurant. On peut manger du bon Thaï ailleurs. On nous a pressé tout le long pour manger. Bref, à part la décoration, pas grand chose de marquant.View more

Really good food, good service, food arrived quickly too. The drinks were delicious too. Original & tasty. The look & decor is awesome. The only thing I can say against is that the music is way too loud for me. But everything else is over the top.View more

Really a great experience. The decor is great, service was spot on by both waitress & bus boys (unfortunately didnt grab our waitress's name). Their cocktails are creative & delicious. The food was wow! Cannot forget to mention the great music being played!View more
