Review from Guillaume D.

Hands down the best service in Montreal & best comfort food. The Monkland Tavern is my recommendation when you are planning a date or a good dinner with some boys. Love the staff, Love Barb, Love the food. Its a must.
Lastly, please get the Mac'n'Cheese, I dare you to find one that is better then Monkland's in the city. -

I was tramping around Montreal by foot when a big snow storm hit. My husband and I kept looking for an open restaurant or pub so we could get out of the weather. Because of the holidays, not much was open (or friendly, oddly enough) and our faces were frozen. Without nearby options, I said, let's get on the metro and go to the Tavern. I was not disappointed with our choice.
The staff was friendly and welcoming as usual. As we sat at the bar, we watched the restaurant quickly fill up with neighborhood locals. We started with the ginger shrimp. My husband was amazed to see me devour the shrimp as I don't particularly like seafood. I said, I don't like shrimp, but I eat them here. They're that good.
For mains, we split the salmon tartare. The crostini was perfectly toasted and the salmon was married perfectly with its bed of cool, creamy avocado. We also split the mac and cheese and the meatball sliders. The sliders were perfect. Just the right amount of spice and sauce over juicy meatballs. I have never ordered the mac and cheese here because I always refused to spend over twenty dollars on something that I can make well at home. Big mistake. This is not your grandmother's mac and cheese. It is worth every penny and I would be tempted to move to Montreal in order to eat this on a regular basis. Bite the bullet and find out what you're missing.
I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Overrated and overpriced! I could probably stop my review right here.
The place is very nice, the location is great, the service was very pleasant as well! But everything we ordered was quite boring. We ordered one entrée, a $32 bottle of wine, a pasta dish, and a hanger steak. This came to $130 with tip. You can do waaaaaay better for $130 than what I got the other night in at least 50 other montreal restaurants.
Bottom line... The food was okay, but it was overpriced for what it is. -

This is a fun little place to go out with friends and have a good time. The music is good and the staff is super friendly.
To start, I had the grilled calamari. No complaints, but also no praises. I would probably order something different next time. For my meal, I chose the hanger steak and it was just okay. Kinda bland and presented very poorly. Just a slab of meat on a plate with some sauce. For the price, there was not an ounce of flair. My plate may not have looked so bland had I ordered the fries, but that should be no reason for poor presentation. -
Review from Crystal H.

For a leisurely casual business lunch (read, somewhat slow service), this Taverne fits the bill eloquently. Surrounded by lots of business people both inside, dressed in suits, and outside on the terrace enjoying vino at lunch, I could have spend hours here.
Who knew that warm goat cheese with roasted tomatoes and spinach salad could be so beautifully perched as a terrine next to a bed of dressed greens and taste so divine. It's the most delicate and tasty salad. And perfect if your lunch includes lots of chatting, as mine tend to.
I will most certainly be back!Listed in: Montreal, In a Weekend

Or La Taverne Monkland. Very good food, fantastic atmosphere. A tad pricey compared to a nice downtown restaurant but Monkland village is becoming more and more a trendy destination to eat. You can park on a side street to save from meter parking and buy a cappuccino after dinner instead! Only negative is that they don't take reservations so you may have to line up...bit of a bummer.

Definitely recommend this place!
We went out here for dinner on Saturday, small cozy atmosphere, very good service, nice layout. the food is awesome, we got to try out a few of the entrees, honey ginger shrimp was good, salmon tartar was really good, I loved the buffalo mozzarella, but the mac n cheese was awesome. after all that I had the duck confit, very good as well, washed down with a nice bottle of wine. cant go wrong, and the cookie dessert is really worth saving or making some room for.
