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.

Our first time staying at Le Germain and certainly not our last. The service was outstanding, the rooms impeccably clean and well appointed, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. An elegant but unstuffy hotel that you will certainly remember and stay at again on your next trip back to beautiful Montreal!

Stayed here for a few nights on a business trip and enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and tastefully decorated. The crew was friendly and responsive. The hotel is located in an area with plenty of choices of restaurants. The price was reasonable considering the scale of service I was getting.

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.

I am a pizza lover and I have tasted many delicious pizzas. I have to say that when I first ate the pizza from this restaurant, I was really amazed. The tomato sauce was very delicious, and the ingredients were matched, and the crispness of the crust was just right. I will definitely recommend it to every friend who comes to Montreal.

Our friends in Montreal said this was a great pizza place, and they were 100% correct! We visited Montreal and unfortunately we could only manage to do delivery, but it was fabulous! There were so many pizza options on the website that we had some trouble deciding what to get. I had the absolute best anchovy pizza I've ever had! Everyone else really enjoyed their pizzas, too (the kids are Hawaiian fiends, and everyone else got assorted meaty toppings). The delivery guy was also very lovely and insisted on bringing the pizzas up the stairs to us, even though we went down to meet him. The delivery boxes are also really appealing, haha. Will definitely return for more the next time we are in town!

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.

Volcano calzone was delicious and the atmosphere and service were excellent. They also have English menus if needed. We arrived around 5pm and a line quickly formed after us so I would suggest arriving early.

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.

I really enjoyed this pub! We went on a Friday night while we were waiting for our show nearby. The old-school vibes were right on point. We got a few pints and a few shots. Along with some apps. All was great, and the price wasn't pricey. The place is also quite big. I'm willing to bet this place pops off during Saint-Patrick's Day, no doubt. All to say, keep it up; I'll pop by during Saint-P's day.

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.

Lively, lots of fun, great staff especially Arlene and Mark! Truly a wonderful pub experience. My crew stopped in every night during our stay in Montreal. It was conveniently located across the street from our hotel, reasonably priced, had live music and opened until 3am. It's definitely worth stopping in for a pint or two... 😉

I had a good time at 3 Brasseurs, though not everything was perfect. The wings were definitely the highlight—crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. The beer was excellent, cold and refreshing, exactly what you’d expect from a brewpub. Dessert was another standout, rich and delicious, the perfect way to end the meal. The poutine was okay but not the best I’ve tried—it didn’t quite stand out. The burger, unfortunately, was underwhelming and not to my taste. That said, the service really shined. Our waitress was sweet, friendly, and somehow managed to be quick despite the busy atmosphere. She made the experience enjoyable overall. I’d come back for the wings, beer, and dessert, and I’d love to explore more of their menu next time.

Had a great time at Les 3 Brasseurs on Crescent! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The beer selection is fantastic, with something for everyone, and the food was delicious especially their signature flammekueche. Perfect spot for a casual night out in downtown Montreal. Highly recommend!
thom M - 3 weeks ago

Every time I go up Montreal I go to 3 Brasseurs. I am fan of choucroute and beer. This time I am disappointed about the sauerkraut too dry and the flammekueche was not that good as usual. It is undercooked. The crust is flaky. Btw the cassoulet was good.
Isabelle Prak - 2 months ago

I would really suggest it! Vibe is perfect, drinks are perfect! Service is perfect! Do not miss it if you give a visit to Montreal! Note: try Sangaria (traditional). If you are a beer 🍺 lover, I recommend their "white". Lastly, their "beer battered fries" 🍟 is a MUST try! 😍
Amirhossein Khademi - a month ago

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 !!

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 :))

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.

Great place with live music on Thursday to Saturday I think. Our waiter Van is always the best. Sushi are very Fresh and amazing ! Thank you! 🙏

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.

I hadn’t been to Reuben’s in a couple of years, but while strolling through downtown one evening, I decided to give it another go and grab some takeout. The restaurant itself is quite nice—welcoming decor, friendly staff, and an overall inviting vibe. Having been a loyal customer in the past, I expected more of the same quality that Reuben’s was once known for. Unfortunately, this visit will likely be my last. I ordered the Super Royal, advertised as a giant smoked meat sandwich served with fries, coleslaw, and a pickle for $26 plus tax. However, when I received my takeout bag, it became immediately clear that there was nothing “giant” about the meal. I’ve included a single photo of my $26+tax meal to let you decide whether you think it’s worth the price. While the sandwich was undeniably tasty, the portion was so small that I was still hungry after finishing it. In fact, I ended up heading elsewhere to grab a burger just to feel satisfied. In a city like Montreal, filled with incredible restaurants and delis, it’s hard to justify settling for such a meager offering. Delicious? Sure. Worth $26? Absolutely not. Reuben’s might be resting on its reputation, but when there are countless better options around, I know I won’t be back.

I ordered the smoke meat pizza. Dough was light and airy. Stacked it with smoked meat. My husband ordered the jumbo smoked meat sandwich plate. Smoked meat sandwich was very portioned for a jumbo sandwich. Service was good. Our waitress Claudia was very attentive and cheerful.

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.

Family was hankering for some ‘wiches and Rueben’s delivered. Smoked meat sandwich was simple but savory blend of soft rye and juicy pastrami. Rueben sandwich hit the expected notes of sloppy and yummy. Our server was both helpful and invested in our hunger journey.

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!

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Brunch Gospel with Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe at the Balcon on the 28th, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was really good but the highlight for me was the music. Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe delivered performances that were nothing short of electrifying. It was a good way to enjoy great food while being uplifted by incredible live gospel music.

Le Balcon is a staple in Montreal experiences! Located in an old cathedral, this theater always makes for an incredible time! There’s room to dance if you’d like- most people do! The main floor is tables/chairs set up cabaret style. The balcony is church pews with a thin piece of fabric as your seat cushion. You’ll be up dancing anyways, so don’t get too comfy! Balcony is also “sit wherever” so feel free to move around… but make sure you close out with your server! If you can find them! Once the show starts, I really didn’t see anyone to grab me another drink:( It’s a very intimate venue- there are no bad seats! Very picturesque too! The entrance is on the side street! There’s a coat check for $3CAD and yes they take cards! Beware- there’s a long line aftee to get your coat! The bathrooms are pitiful! Located up a bunch of stairs and then there’s only 2 teeny stalls! For a venue, we need more please!

We had a fantastic time at the New Year's Eve party at Le Balcon! The food and cocktails were delicious, the entertainment was lively and kept us dancing, and our server Norman was wonderful. And he was very talented performing two beautiful songs during dinner. The venue was tucked in the back of a church which was very cool and unexpected. Great time overall!
Miranda Black - a week ago

My wife and I spent about $800 for the New Year's Eve dinner and show. We were very disappointed on the portion size of each servings and main course. Everything looked like it was just a sample size. The food itself was satisfactory. Considering all of the money spent on dinner, you would think the servings would be more generous. This was our second time at Le Balcon. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

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 - 5 months ago

Great food, been coming here since I was in high school. My personal fave is always the poutine!

Best Poutine for the price, lots of cheese with fresh fries & they’re not cheap with their poutine sauce 🤭 always very friendly with the customers:)

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.

We LOVED this Edo Japan's teriyaki chicken yakisoba and curry chicken. Sad to see them closed, but heard it was because of well-deserved retirement (same owner for over 28 years?!). Congrats! End of an era!
Judy Judy - 3 weeks ago

Edo Japan is in the food court of the Eaton’s Centre. There are a lot of Asian restaurants there and Edo is the better one. We ordered bento boxes. You can choose a neat and 2 sides I chose the shrimp tempura and a 4-piece sushi. Tempuras are tiny but tasty. Sushi looks not that great but again tastes good. Next time I’ll try dumplings and spring rolls. You have to be patient as the cook is awfully slow. They use yummy Japanese rice. Meat is cooked in front of you. The vegetables including mushroom are good. Remember to ask for extra sauce or the cook will give you just very little. Overall the food is good and reasonably priced. I’ll return to try other stuff.
