This lovely hotel is v modern and the shower cubicle with a window into the bedroom takes a bit of getting used to but did make the bathroom much brighter. Maybe a blind or opaque glass could be added? Bed was so comfortable and the view from our window at night was spectacular (as shown) with all the building lights. Our room was on the 20th floor so lovely and quiet. Delicious breakfast and plenty of choice. Unlimited free coffee refills greatly appreciated. All the staff were so nice and helpful. Late check out available at midday was most unexpected, and it really felt that the hotel/staff couldn't do enough to welcome you.

Everyone was wonderful from the very first front desk to the restaurant staff to housekeeping. The Nespresso and hot water kettle were a nice touch. They had a water fountain by the elevators with refrigerated water. The best part was the bed—it was much more comfortable than most hotel beds! Edited to add: I changed my five star review to four stars. People call this affordable luxury, which I think references the room, but I give this an overall four stars because I think the front desk service could improve significantly. The staff are very passive and quiet, not reaching out unless you ask questions. I also wish they had told me these things beforehand: housekeeping will come and clean your room even if you set your room to “do not disturb,” the water kettle may need a cleaning, and I received no welcome drink or note like the other patrons posted about (but I was granted an early check-in). In fact, people came into my room multiple times a day because my room would change each time I leave my room—I wonder if they were overcompensating for not coming the day before, even though that was what I had wanted and told them in person. (However, the housekeeping staff was lovely.) Lastly, the shower has a glass wall that leaves no room for privacy from anyone else in the room, so it is best to travel solo or with a romantic partner if you stay here. Also, I had tried to book a taxi the day before with the front desk, and they weren’t helpful and suggested I call Uber which canceled on me—I strongly recommend calling cabs if you need to be on time.

This is by far the best hotel and best value stay we have had in Montreal. The room felt fresh, clean, modern and well considered. The bed was sooooo comfy and the shower was great. Nespresso coffee in room is always a plus, but a reminder that the European traveler likes the 2% milk with it. The arrival sequence was simple, we asked to store our luggage as we arrived early and to our delight the room was already ready so we were allowed to go straight up. They had our preordered welcome drinks all ready and a lovely welcome note to go with it. We had late drinks in the bar with some nibbles which were also tasty. Would recommend.

My FAVE hotel in Montréal (and I’ve stayed at plenty!) Have stayed here twice now because of the great value for the price- rooms are new, modern, and clean and it’s a good location downtown. Room: The in-room personal products are very high quality and smell amazing. Honestly would stay here just for that alone 😅 Bed was super comfy, nice view, and room service is fast and so delicious; The restaurant is a destination on its own! Staff: The staff are sweet and welcoming. A special merci to Felix for helping me pack my smoked salmon/meat on my last day and the tall gentleman who delivered my room service twice, always with a warm smile. There was another gentleman at the reception who remembered my name- was very impressed with the service that you don’t see nowadays anymore. Lobby Bar: Enjoyed working with my laptop at the bar in the AM with a coffee from SoLit next door. Merci beaucoup and See you next October!

We ordered a pizza for takeout, we were able to park on the street as it wasn’t too busy. The restaurant was quite full and smelled delicious. We got just a simple pepperoni pizza, the crust was nice and crunchy but was not a fan of the pepperoni not being crispy as it was covered with cheese. Would go back to eat inside and try a speciality pizza as there are so many to pick from. Was on the more expensive side for a 10” pizza. The service staff was very friendly and helpful.

We were pleasantly surprised by this establishment. Rashid, who helped us choose an order, was very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Everything was so fast! And delicious. The pizza was amazing. I have never tried such interesting and multifaceted pizzas. I highly recommend visiting this place, preferably in the morning. Because in half an hour there will already be many people who want to try the best pizza in the world.
Альона Доненко - 2 months ago

The pizza was really good. We had the margarita and four cheese pizza. Even the Quatro formaggio with blue cheese. I found out that it is the only way I enjoy blue cheese was good. We ordered a bottle of red wine too and it was good. The prices are quite high. It's like CAD$21 for a pizza for one person. The wait time was quite long as well because the spot is popular but they did a good job despite this.

Visit: June 2024 I got the Suprema Pizza, which was very good, with an insane amount of toppings and a thin, crisp crust. One pizza is still pretty filling for one person. Also comes with olive oil to add to the pizza or use for the crust. Also loved the decor in the restaurant, it gave a very rustic feeling to the place

Though relatively unassuming from the outside, Pizza Il Focolaio was a great lunch spot for our family (kids ages 7, 9, 16, 17). There was plenty of space inside. (Outside seating is also available.) The staff was kind, welcoming and accommodating. The menu is available in English, which was very helpful. The pizzas were delicious and came out quickly. The Caesar salad was large enough to be shared by 4 of us. We ordered 3 pizzas for a total of 6 people. Paired with the salad, that was a perfect portion.

We sat at the bar for dinner. The fact that it wasn’t busy on a Saturday night should have told us something. After a couple beers, we ordered chicken fingers with onion rings and fish and chips. Both were large portions and the quality was good but not great. It irritated us that we were charged $.75 for an extra tartar sauce. Our bartender Tara was personable and efficient. But we wish we had waited in line for our first choice.

When traveling in any town a visit to an Irish Pub is always in order. Le Vieux Dublin in Montreal did not disappoint. There was 1 bartender who handled a full bar & a few tables & made it look easy. There were many great Irish Whiskey selections & it seemed many more pint options. The customers were friendly & even bought me a couple pours of good whiskey. Guys….be sure to checkout the urinals.
REX SCOTT - 11 months ago

Our 2nd time there. This will probably be a must visit for us moving forward when we come to Montreal. They have live music Tuesdays to Saturdays. We love the bartender. Great personality. We had recognized her from the 1st time that we tried this place out over a year ago. Even though she was busy, she took the time to ask us where we were from and talked with us through out the evening. Really great place and good service.

Fun classic pub with amazing burgers and a great selection of drinks. Many choices of beers and liquors that fuel a great night. There are multiple floors so there was lots of room for our larger group. The live music helped build a fun atmosphere at night.

An absolutely fabulous restaurant. Prime location, close to metro. The food was simply fantastic with ample options for everyone. The sangria options are quite unique and well worth a try. Our host Stefano was simple terrific in recommendations of food options, great sense of humour and ensuring that our special occasion was simply perfect. Bravo team 3 Brasseurs !!

This was my second time at this location in 2 years. I absolutely love the beers and the food ! Now we made a cool friend, Stefano, who was very friendly, funny and professional. He also accommodated my speaking basic French. We were told that there's a promotion going on for certain beers and I chose their "Blonde" beer and the cassoulet, which was heavenly ! My friend had a very tasty salad and we shared the camembert with prosciutto. All in all we had a great time having dinner here. Merci pour votre attitude amicable et professionelle Monsieur Stefano ! Je reviendrai !

Wonderful service by Iva! She’s always so friendly to customers, funny and nice to everyone around! We enjoy her company every time we see her and she’s making the bar roll like the boss 😎 keep it up Iva, such a sweet and nice person! We’re trying to free our schedule just so we can see her at night 😎

I had lunch at 3 Brasseurs with friends in Montreal, and it was a great experience. The pub vibe was lively, and the food was tasty. A perfect spot for a casual Sunday afternoon!

Our experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat . The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection . I can confidently add that the Poutine dish in this bar is tastier than anywhere else. We had the same dish in Toronto and Ottawa, but when we returned to Montreal, we once again went to this very bar to taste the most delicious Poutine . Our server, Mr. STEFANOS was an absolute gem. He knew the menu, offered great recommendations, and cared about guest feedback. His professionalism , positivity and warmth added a personal touch to our evening, and we left feeling thoroughly satisfied! I would like to come back here again and again .

First time in shodan for lunch. We have ordered the sushi plate for 2 and added a sushi pizza. I believe if we will be just full only have sushi plate for 2.adding pizza we r too full. The fish are so fresh! However I find the rice is abit too soft and doesn't taste enough vinegar. Thus 4/5 for the food. Service is good, atmosphere is good. Will come back and try the dinner menue, heard the specialty rolls are good too. Sushi pizza is covered by smoked salmon. Find the rice is not crispy enough or maybe too thin to taste the crispness.

Very nice place and very welcoming !! Perfect for a first date in my opinion if he or she loves sushi, cause I loved it 5 years ago when my now husband brought me there ;) and it's always nice to go back now. The quality is still fantastic and the people are nice. I recommend !!! For sure getting back soon :))

Once inside Sho-Dan, I found myself underwhelmed by the overall atmosphere. The décor lacks character, with plain white tablecloths and a lack of any distinctive features. Instead of exuding a sushi restaurant ambiance, it feels more like an upscale Italian establishment catering to an older demographic. Unfortunately, my initial impression fell short of excitement. However, my disappointment took a turn when we decided to sample a variety of items from the menu. The sushi exceeded expectations, boasting a delightful freshness and appealing presentation. Accompanied by flavorful sauces, the culinary experience was elevated. The house drinks were also noteworthy, adding a positive note to our dining experience. While the staff exhibited kindness, there was a slight lack of enthusiasm, though the service remained decent. In conclusion, it's a venue worth considering if you're seeking exceptionally good sushi. The culinary delights outweigh the lackluster ambiance, making it a destination for sushi enthusiasts.

I have been going to Sho-dan for 25 years. The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is great and the service exceptional. Our Mont Blanc masterpiece by Davina pictured below. Other musts are the sushi pizza, beef sashimi, gyoza and of course all sushi is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality throughout the years.

We dined there on Saturday night, the 17th of Aug 2024, at about 9 pm. we were welcomed by our server and offered drinks. Excellent food 10/10. But better than the food was the service by our server 12/10. We were served by a lovely lady (sorry, forgot her name). She was very attentive and made us feel welcome. We ordered the ceasar salad and asked for bacon to be added to it, and that wasn't a problem. In fact, everything we asked for wasn't a problem. We also had the cheese sticks and the 14oz ribeye steak. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and seasoned well. The garden salad with French dressing was very fresh. Our lovely server suggested the strawberry cheesecake for dessert, and it was the best I've had. I highly recommend this establishment. I worked as a chef in Australia for over 25 years, and I was extremely pleased with this restaurant. I wish I live in Montreal so I could try this restaurant again and again. Thankyou.

HIDDEN GEM!!! I absolutely loved the food - Caesar salad was the best I’ve eaten in years! And I also tried the “Famous homemade cheesecake”, my god it’s gooooood!!! Same with the cheesecake, I didn’t have one so good in years 🥹🥹🥹 This place has a European vibe to it, both regarding food and appearance. It reminded me a little bit of Germany :) The service was super good, the waitresses were very friendly, smiling, got the order right and fast, even suggested me to get a vanilla ice cream with my Cheescake and I have to say, it is a must try!!!! The atmosphere is great, pretty, clean, love the decorated glass ceiling elements :) Coffee is just regular, like in all diners, I was hoping for a European coffee but alas :) I will definitely be back to try their smoked meat, as I’ve seen some amazing reviews about it and I totally recommend this place! Frankly, I believe it is an UNDERRATED GEM, it deserves more recognition!

Melt Sandwiches indeed! We first tried this spot in 2019 and thought their food at that time was superb. 2024 visit did not disappoint! The restaurant was bustling and lively. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food remained superb, if not better. Reuben’s will always be on our list to dine in whenever we’re in Montreal. 5-star all around!

We were in the vicinity and decided to walk in as it looked appealing from outside in spite of the fact the massive construction/maintenance work along the streets. It was packed to the core that may be a sign of its popularity. Good choice of food and drinks- meat, fish, chicken, salads, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Appealing decor, very good service, excellent food and the portions seem more than generous. Couldn't finish what we ordered. The only low point was the temperature inside, seemed quite warm; not sure if it was normal or because of the ongoing heatwave in the region.
Sudeep Roy - 4 months ago

I think here , the main problem is the atmosphere. The stairs are the first indication, going down you feel you are going back in time. This place is stacked in the 90’ , and not in a good way. The food is good, the service is super friendly too. But if you are more than 4, you’ll be seating separated . Maybe I’ll try the other location.

Le Balcon offers a unique experience, blending live music, cabaret vibes and dining. The venue is tucked away at the back of the church, which can feel a little awkward when you first walk in. The space is somewhat limited and seating might feel tight on busy nights, but adds to the cabaret experience. Overall, Le Balcon delivers a memorable night with great music, dancing and good food.

It was a wonderful night. The show is great and I had so much fun! 😍
Maria Aya Lozada - a month ago

Crossing a church to go to Le Balcon was a bit eery but at the same time kinda cool. Bathrooms are on the second floor. They are very old and not so clean. All staff members were courteous and very friendly. They spoke both French and English. Drinks are good. We assisted the 80s show. It was really fun. We sang our hearts out. The one ick that bothered me was that there were a few columns, and it obstructed the view of the performer, but it still was a great show.
Cristine Guiomar - 5 months ago

We had an excellent evening of flamenco dancing, music and song while delighting on an incredible 3 course meal. An experience we will never forget. Thanks to Mila, the ticket lady, for her enthusiastic reviews about all the shows at Le Balcon. We will return there again and again.

In the heart of Montreal, where the shadows play, An ancient church, now a stage, wears the twilight's gray. Neon red blooms on the skin of night’s deep blue, A beacon, a whisper, of transformations old and new. Once hallowed halls now echo with applause and cheers, Where stained glass once filtered heaven’s light and fears. Brick and mortar, sacred and profane, beautifully collide, Under the neon's glow, art and spirit reside. The city breathes, the night descends in peaceful grace, Red light a heartbeat, in its historical embrace. From spire to spotlight, from prayer to performance flare, The night falls softly on the church, reborn in neon's glare.

Never came here cuz I thought they only have pizza, but their poutine gave me a pleasant surprise today. Slightly salty but more importantly cheesy and savoury. Portion is so large, I’ll be eating my size medium for 2-3 meals. Staff have a straight face but are nice and kind. Only downside is it’s a bit too hot in the metro station in summer to eat there.
Alice Liang - 2 months ago

It’s your typical hibachi style fast food, they prepare the food fresh and serve it. The chicken was pretty good and the serving size was just right.

In the Eaton center food court - really delicious, fresh made to order food. Great deals on bento lunches, bowls and sushi. Service was impeccable, warm and friendly. The beef sukiyaki is definitely a must, and their sauce makes the dish. There are lots of delicious sides also to have with your meal. Definitely highly recommend for delicious food at a great price in a clean restaurant.

They're the best at McGill. I love their special Chicken Curry menu. I go there twice a week, and the staff is always friendly. Please go in Edo right now and support them!!!

Amazing Japanese style food in the food court. It was our favorite place to visit before Covid times when we were working in the Downtown. Unfortunately, many places have changed either quality since then or even closed down. However, this place is as good as it was before! Yokisoba Noodles with Beef is to die for!! Friendly and courteous staff.

Was sick and needed something HOT , SPICY and AFFORDABLE. This place is great, they make the food in front of you and ingredient seem very fresh (which also cause some waiting).
