Ye Olde Orchard is a Monkland Village staple for a reason. It's a classic Irish pub right in the heart of NDG with a great, easygoing vibe. It's always a reliable spot for a fun night out. Went on a Wednesday for trivia & hockey which made it a really lively atmosphere. Sat at the bar & had a burger & fries with a Guinness, & my boyfriend had the fish & chips. Great beer & solid pub food all around.
Service was friendly & welcoming, & it's the kind of place you can tell has lots of regulars. Just an easy, fun spot to hang out. We'll definitely be back 🍔🍻🏒
Endroit style pub. Excellent fish & chips, belle portion d'aiglefin bien doré & de frites croustillantes. Service souriant & rapide (midi). Musique décousue (folk, heavy métal…), toilettes à éviter par les claustrophobes 🤪.

We first went August 5, 2025. The chicken noodle soup had not even a bit of chicken, & the broth was thin. I also had the Irish stew. It made me go to the bathroom for a good part of the next day. Nevertheless, we returned September 2, 2025 to give the place another chance. The fish & chips came with lukewarm french fries. The waiter said he would bring hot fries. He did after a while but in the meantime I had to eat the fish before it also cooled. Although I technically had both fish & chips, the idea is to have them together: The dish isn't called'Fish & EVENTUALLY, Chips'. The waiter should have taken the entire dish back & served a new order, all hot. I thought of asking him to take the whole thing back but I wasn't interested in having an argument. If they could get the fries hot the second time, they certainly could have done it the first time. It's because the kitchen figured they could get away with it. Bad attitude.
An iconic Irish pub in MTL. I always have fish & chips & Guiness here. Too bad the restaurant had to change the name, thanks to the language police 👎👎👎
First time ordering from this establishment. i am a retired european chef & Monkland Orchard is EASILY - 5 STARS 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟. We ordered the Braised Beef & Fish & Chips thru UberEats, both were outstanding. The braised beef was hot, melt in mouth, no teeth needed tender &comes with a very nice gravy/sauce, mashed potatoes & seasonedveggies. The fish was perfectly deep fried, not too hard & not too soft, nice premium fish. We highly recommend Monkland Orchard without hesitation. Keep up the great work, it's definitely a hidden diamond in a city full of shiny gems.
Everything we had, french onion soup, cheeseburger, fries, sweet potato fries, fish & chips, tartare sauce, everything was better than I've ever had before. The pub is huge, cute, cosy vibe, fireplace! The music is great. & Brian, the person serving, is great. So sweet, friendly & observant. Will go again whenever I'm in this area.

Today was my first day trying the food in this place. We went there to celebrate a friend's birthday after church so we were a big group (more than 20 people) so we occupied the whole inside section. We came last. I ordered fish & chips (it comes with fries & coleslaw). I replaced the fries with sweet potato fries (extra charge 4$) with a Guinness beer. The breaded haddock was good & the fries too. A friend of mine ordered the chicken sandwich wrap with soup & she said that the chicken was so good & juicy (well marinated). I loved the place with the great decorations. It is clean & the service was great & fast according to our number. Our waitress was fast & attentive. All in all, I liked my experience there & would love to go back again & try sth else.
Ma femme & moi étions allés un mardi. Le pub étaient plein. Une vrai ambiance de pub.
La pinte de Guiness parfaitement versée.. juste assez de mousse. Le service était long parce qu'il étaient en sous effectif. Par contre la nourriture laisse a désirer. Le fish & chip était sec. Les frites étaient était mal blanchies car elles étaient croustillantes... Crues... La cobb salade n'avait pas de vinaigrette du tout. Nous ne pouvions pas demander de rectifier la situation car les serveuses ne venaient jamais puisqu'elles étaient trop occupées!!
Allez y pour un verre mais pour la bouffe, il y d'autres restos sur la rue monkland!!
