My compliments to the pastry chef "

Eaten there twice. First time alone, food was mid at best. Second time myself and 100000 fruit flies sat the bar, food was mid, drinks not there, weak. Both times expensive and I was reminded of the price only because food and drinks were not worth it. Looks great inside, but everything else leaves a lot to be desired.

Three of us went with no reservation at ~5:30 and were seated quickly. They were still pretty empty at that point but filled by the time we left. The space is attached to a hotel and is absolutely beautiful. I especially appreciated the plasterwork on the ceiling.

Our waiter was great. Didn't hover or rush us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each step of our meal.

I had the Chai noisette cocktail and roast duck breast. Both were great. The chai noisette was not a great combination of flavors for me but was made to a high standard - there are definitely people who would like it. The duck breast was great - not dry at all and very flavorful. Would absolutely eat here again.

Fancy place to go on a date. I had a good time. Service was good. We had free dessert which I loved it.. the food was something different, and very small portion. It didn't fill me up lol but it's okay. It's a one day thing

Best meal thus far in Montreal! I almost did not go here because there were some recent bad reviews. However, we decided to go have a glass of wine at the bar and perhaps some appetizers (entrée's) and just see how things went.

I am so glad we did. We ordered some appetizers; oysters PEI, a Caesar salad and the beef tartare. I love carpaccio but have never tried a full beef tartare so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I loved it! So delicious. I just cannot put into words but if the thought of this dish makes you cringe, please take the leap!

The oysters were amazing. Where we live we are usually limited to Gulf oysters which are fine in their own right but they just don't compare to PEI. The minuet was perfect and we finished twelve very quickly.

The Caesar salad was good, but if anything was three stars tonight, it was this. The only reason was that it came with a poached egg, which I love, but this egg was far undercooked. It was translucent and just destroyed an Beef TartareBeef TartareOystersotherwise very good salad.

Finally, I ordered a duck confit for a meal and everything about this dish was spot on! The fresh vegetables were sautéed to perfection. The duck came with a delicious crispy skin and a fabulous berry reduction. Every bite was amazing from start to finish.

For dessert we went with Pavlova which was a meringue with fresh cream, mango, passion fruit and some edible leaves and chocolate disks. What a refreshing dessert to finish an excellent meal.

We sat at the bar and still felt like we were given great service. The bartenders were very willing to make suggestions and explain the dishes.

Exceptional food and great service! Perhaps the bad reviews were a bad night, but this was very deserving of five stars.

Hubby and I wanted a nice date spot while visiting Montreal. Found this gem! Such a beautiful spot and the food was so good too! It's connected to a hotel but we were able to find it. Would love to go back and try more of their dishes :)

Only good thing about this place was the decor...

Other than that, the food, drinks and service were a disappointment. By the reviews, it looked promising. But, we should've known it wouldn't been a hit or miss due to the location in a touristy area.

My husband ordered the hamburger and fries and his food was inedible - cold and the meat was very tough. They fortunately compted us for this, but it took awhile to flag down the server.

I ordered the lobster and risotto, which wasn't terrible, but the lobster didn't feel fresh and as if had some freezer burn.

Lastly, the drinks we ordered didn't taste like they had much alcohol in them.

I'd only recommend this place to get some cool pictures of the interior, but nothing else.

I liked this restaurant, mostly because of the place which was beautiful.
The food was was nice, but nothing to write home about.
We got sweet potato soup which was good.
Beet salad that didn't really look like a salad but more like a side dish.
We got tasty risotto and file filet mignon.
I got passion fruit cocktail, but I didn't like it
The price was higher than expected.

Top notch bistro/brasserie. Caters more to the business lunch crowd, and is also a fantastic go-to if you're staying at the hotel. Highly recommend the French Pinot by the glass, oysters, steak tartare, salmon tartare, and anything else that looks good to you. Beautiful room, very good service.

Delicious breakfast, beautiful ambiance, great service! Everything on my plate was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The drip coffee wasn't awesome, I'd probably skip that next time. Located inside Hotel Birks.
