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. 👎😞
I went here for a drink with my friend & it was one of the best experiences I've had on Monkland.
My friend & I have been to multiple places, Orchard by far the one I would recommend to have a drink & food at.
My server Chris gave great recommendations & amazing service.
If you want a good time on a sunny day, go to Orchard & ask for Chris
Sam was the bartender & also made our experience amazing
Cheers 🥂

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...
Come with my friends all the time & always greeted with a warm smile & friendly staff. Best place to come & have a good time! Chris you are everythinggggg!
This place feels like visiting an old friend. You can sit for hours & never feel rushed. The beer is always cold & the food is always hot. The service is great, everyone is friendly & welcoming.
Such a chill spot, whether you're with friends, family or even just to have a drink solo! The friendliest staff ever! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!
Had a lovely bruch. Wait staff was friendly, & mentioned she was working the front by herself today so we were prepared for any extra wait. There wasn't any noticeable extra wait for good.
The pub is my go to place to eat on Monkland. The food is great, atmosphere is wonderful but the best part is the staff. All of the servers are friendly & personable, they remember who I am when I come in, are funny, hold a conversation & are super respectful. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Frozen Food Reseller Pub & Grill J'ai donné mon avis sur la poutine la dernière fois. Zéro gout, aucune amélioration. Assez bonne bière & bon service par contre, mais c'est générique, & j'ai l'impression que je suis à un pub typique d'Ottawa. Cet établissement ne mérite pas du tout 4.2, & cette chaine ne mérite pas d'exister dans une ville comme Montréal. Les plats sont chers, le menu est trop varié & rien ne semble être frais. C'est de la revente, pur & simple.
