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 🍔🍻🏒

C'était une experience suprenante (dans le bonne sense). Notre pub lunch était excellent. Il a dépasseé now attentes. Je reviendrai certainement. Merci Old Orchard!
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 🤪.
First come first served seating basis. The pub has a cozy feel with dim lighting. The service was friendly. They offer all your typical drinks & beer. Their cheeseburgers are always good with a generous portion of fresh French fries.
Very cute pub with a good atmosphere. The food & drinks are solid, & the staff is friendly. The calamari is one of our favorites, & I personally really like the bacon mac & cheese. My husband also really enjoys the burgers. A nice spot all around!
HEARTBREAKING 💔
It is with profound disappointment that I submit this review. As a loyal patron of Orchard Pub & Grill on Monkland Avenue, we have consistently experienced high-quality cuisine. Our order frequency is bi-weekly to tri-weekly, typically including the Stout Braised Beef, consistently praised for its tender texture, generous portion size, & excellent accompanying sides. However, recent orders suggest a change in kitchen staff, as our consistent request to omit green onions & shallots has been overlooked, despite our clear & repeated order notes. The individual working on Sunday, June 1st, at approximately 7:00 PM, appears to be unfamiliar with established procedures & failed to review the order specifications. The attached photographs clearly show that the customer's instructions-no green onions & no shallots-were disregarded, resulting in a dish containing a significant quantity of fresh diced green onions.
This is something that's completely avoidable, & these are mistakes that should never happen because they are purely avoidable. It's mistakes like this that really hurt a restaurant amd their reputation.
Although I have always recommended this restaurant in the past.. unfortunately now all I can say is .. try at your own risk. 👎😞
Great food! Beyond what you'd typically get in a pub - they have the best Buffalo wings I've had in either Montreal & Toronto!! I lived in Montreal for eight years & the Olde Orchard on Monkland felt like a home away from home! A cozy place to spend a cold winter night or catch an early Saturday morning soccer game.
Update: their menu has changed a lot over the past few years, as the inevitably do, sadly not for the better felt the quality has dropped off a bit...
