We reserve our seats for 3 for dinner on a Saturday and were impressed with the swiftness we were looked after. We were reminded that it was a BYOB, which was a very nice touch. I got a msg on my phone, seconds after that our table was reserved. While we brought our own bottle, the waitress opened our bottle and we poured our own wine from start to finish. Atmosphere was casual, somewhat loud but not unpleasant. Service was fast with our waitress being OK. Just the very bare minimum. Appetizers were snail with garlic/cheese and a deep fried goat cheese were excellent. New York streak and bavette de boeuf served medium rare were tender but a tad too cooked. Overall, a good restaurant to go to from time to time, with BYOB.

Lively on a Saturday night. The place was pretty full, mostly larger groups, but still some empty tables. We waited 45 mins for our food and when the server finally brought out one of our entrees, steak fries, she mentioned she hopes we don't mind she's bringing it out before the other dishes, but it was sitting under the lamps and she wanted to get it out. Not what we wanted to hear. The other food ordered was only cesar salad, French onion soup and shrimp bang bang. It shouldn't have taken that long. Cesar salad had no flavour, nothing, no taste at all. It was bizarre. Soup was ok. I had been waiting to try it in Montreal and now wouldn't have it again. Bang bang shrimp was ok. Very small portion, even tho it's an appetizer. Steak frites was ok. Medium rare in middle only but over cooked around all around. I'm a French fry fan, but I have never had fries so horrible in my life. All you can eat fries? No thanks, couldn't even eat the ones on my plate.

Best bang for the buck; good steak with fries and it’s bring your own wine. Perfect for a supper before an event or a show downtown.

Had a meal with a group of 25 and the staff were completely on the ball the entire time, even when splitting the bill!! Great food and service.

Excellent service. My partner is celiac they ensured would be ok for her to eat. We enjoyed so much we went back the next night since we were staying across in intercontinental. Only negative comment is that would prefer grilled steak as apposed to just fried.

Literal art on every dish! The tasting menu was a treat for all the senses and soooo good for the soul! Each dish was incredibly delicious, attentive service, and the ambiance so chic and intimate. Truly one of my favorite tasting experiences in Montreal.

Excellent service from the moment I walked in, but unfortunately, the food did not impress me at all. I visited this restaurant because I heard the experience would cost a thousand dollars in the States. Since I went for lunch, it wasn’t a course menu. All mains included one appetizer and coffee, priced at $49–53 CAD, which is a very good deal for fine dining menu. They have quite a good wine collection, and many table customers opened bottles. They also offer half glasses of wine, priced at around $10 CAD each. For my meal, I had foie gras as an appetizer and duck leg as the main course. Both dishes were heavy, overly sweet, and salty. While the duck skin was crispy, the meat was dry, and I couldn’t understand the purpose of the bread placed between the mushrooms and sauce. My server, Phill, was efficient and well-organized. He handled customer questions about the wine selection quickly and knowledgeably. The post-meal coffee, however, was machine-made, a bit watery, and took over ten minutes to make. In summary, the service and ambiance were excellent, but the food was underwhelming.

We loved our experience here! We are visiting from California and have experienced many fine dining restaurants, but nothing has compared to Toqué. The best part was our server, Eve. Hands down the best! The food was delicious and the drinks were PERFECT! The old fashioned was made better than most places. The branded ice cube was a nice touch. Oysters were shockingly super fresh. The strawberry vinaigrette and in-house jalapeño hot sauce were wonderful with the oysters. 10/10. The foie gras was the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are an explosion in your mouth 10/10. For our main, we ordered the ribeye to share and it was pretty good 7/10. It had harder pieces of fat that were not easy to chew, but the flavor was delicious. Probably wouldn’t order again, and would opt for something else. If you’re in Montreal, worth the experience!!

Enjoyed a multi-course tasting menu here which was a treat to our senses! The service was excellent and the staff were very kind and courteous to accommodate our schedule to make some adaptations! Come here to enjoy a delicious feast!

We ordered the seven-course Tasting Menu with wine pairing. The service was very slow making the dinner last 4-hours. Our server, Eve, spent most of her time re-filling our water glasses. The venue was a bit dated. Finally, the design of the coffee cup with no handle, delivered at the end of the meal, was just plain silly.

Food was delicious, very nice place, we ordered two cocktails each but we believe they are not generous enough to use alcohol in their cocktails, I paid the same price for eggs & caviar that served just one instead of 3, I don’t know why accepted their advice for that😕and paid exactly the same price for 3 eggs, it was really good. Crème brûlée is our favourite that was really good as well, U need to double check your bill when u want to pay not to pay more than u ordered. We paid 400$ for two, so yes it’s pricy 💵

I had a perfect experience here! The food was absolutely delicious. We got the NY strip, a ribeye, passion fruit mocktails, and the crème brûlée. Everything tasted amazing. The best part about our night was the service. Our waiter Simon was the best waiter i’ve ever had! He was so kind, quick, generous and very professional. He made our anniversary very special! I will definitely be back and hope to have him as our waiter again!

Not quite what it was before moving but still worthy. Amazing food and service, this place is hard to beat. Of course, such an experience has its price. Don’t look at the bill, just pay it. One of the best place in the world for a rib steak and a lot more choices. We were two persons, had martini, rib steak, mille-feuilles and a moderately priced bottle of red wine, its costed us close to $500 with taxes and tip. Not for the poor one. An experience you’ll remember forever.

Perfect experience! Great restaurant for any type of occasion. Every dish we had was full of flavour and the products used felt very fresh and were of great quality. I wish we had more room in our stomach to try others dishes (the portions are also generous!!). As for the service, everyone who catered to us was excellent. Special thank you to Valérie for making my mom’s birthday special.

This is a very interesting restaurant. My wife and I went here twice when visiting Montreal. The steaks are great and the side dishes are also super tasty. Unfortunately, the second time we went here, the beef tartare tasted completely different: it was suddenly super spicy. This was two day after visiting for the first time, so this points towards a lack of consistency and quality control in the kitchen. Also, on our second visit, I ordered the Kansas Strip. I talked with the waiter about it before ordering and when it appeared, I was dismayed to see that it had a big bone in it. However, when it comes to drinks, the people working here are top notch! I had a great conversation with Max about a White Russian — a fairly boring drink, unless you take steps to elevate it. Max created a beautiful White Russian for me and this made a perfect end to my visit in Montreal.

Five Guys serves an okay burger and fries as far as fast food goes, but all the hype seems somewhat overrated. I like that they offer free peanuts, but the service is nothing special.
Jeremiah Hayes - 5 months ago

Fast food but with fresh ingredients. The cheese melts effortlessly, the burger is juicy, caramelized onions, and JALAPEÑOS!!! Be ready to drain your bank account because it is indeed expensive. Other than that, 8/10
Rulz Simplice - 2 months ago

My favorite five guys!! Staff is super nice and food is always great. Small suggestion : try the bacon salty caramel shake.

I got the small cheeseburger (1 patty instead of 2, that's the difference between the regular and small cheeseburger) and it was very satisfying! I said I was going to eat indoors, but they still gave me a brown to go bag and no tray. So I ended up eating right outside on a bench instead. It was my first time at the Five Guys so I'm not sure if it's all the time served in to-go bags, or if it's because I went a little late, around 8:30pm.

My recent visit to Five Guys McGill Street left me with mixed feelings! 🍔🍟🥤 The highlight of the meal was their delightful fries and lip-smacking milkshakes, which truly lived up to the restaurant's reputation. However, I have to say that the veggie burger I ordered was quite underwhelming. 😕 Let's start with the positives—the fries were outstanding! 🍟 Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they were the perfect sidekick to our meal. And oh, those milkshakes! 🥤🤤 Creamy, rich, and full of flavor, they were simply divine. Five Guys definitely knows how to create mouthwatering sides and treats! Now, onto the not-so-great parts. My friend and I were taken aback by the prices. 💸 While we expected to pay a bit more for quality, we both felt that it was a tad too expensive for a casual burger joint. The veggie burger, unfortunately, was the biggest disappointment. 😔 It lacked the bold flavors we were hoping for and turned out to be quite bland. One thing I have to mention is the A1 sauce, and it's a big no-no. 🚫 We decided to try it, thinking it would add some zing to the burger, but it was far from enjoyable. The taste was off, and it didn't complement the meal at all. On a positive note, the restaurant's atmosphere was inviting with an American-style burger joint vibe. 🍔🇺🇸 The ambiance was lively, and the staff was friendly and efficient, making the dining experience pleasant overall. While the quality of the ingredients used in the burgers was good, I couldn't help but feel that the overall pricing didn't quite match what was offered. It's essential to strike a balance between taste, portion sizes, and pricing, which, in this case, seemed a bit skewed. Five Guys McGill Street excels in certain aspects, such as their delicious fries and mouthwatering milkshakes, as well as providing a vibrant and upbeat atmosphere. However, the veggie burger's lackluster flavor and the higher price point were notable downsides. For those who crave a true American-style burger experience, it might still be worth a visit, but for me and my friend, we left feeling slightly underwhelmed. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

It’s a good concept for a balanced and affordable lunch. Food was ok, it gets crowded but still able to find a seat. My issue is with the cashier. Something that can be so straightforward but a big fuss was made and it’s humiliating. After paying at the woman cashier, I proceeded to bring my food back to my seat. When I went to pick up the cutlery, she accused me of not paying JUST after she took my payment. It was audible enough to get looks from people. When I produced the receipt to her that I had on hand, she further insisted that that doesn’t count as payment (?!?) and insisted to see the credit card receipt. Fortunately for this case I took it, because most of the time who would keep that slip? Only upon producing that would she back down. I can’t help if one is forgetful after taking my payment, but the humiliation and to single me out is unacceptable.

Was there recently for a private party. Very pretty, private space with a full wall of windows. The food was excellent and the staff was very present, friendly and helpful. I did find the service a little slow. Would definitely consider a private celebration there.

Enjoy steak and free beer every Friday for only 16$ all in. This was before the pandemic. 2023-09-27 But the price has not changed much since. Now, it's only 16.50$+tx for the same filet mignon and beer included. Please don't forget to add a tip$: think about people who clean your table, dishes and to keep this place nice and clean. Need an ice cream cone? 2024-09 Now is 23$+ for the same steak.

Friday evening between 4 and 5 pm, there is practically no one. The ambiance was pretty fun. Cool music playing, lights are dimmed. It's really cozy. I went with my 12 year old daughter. She really enjoyed it. We only took appetizers, and it was plenty for us. The dumplings tasting platter is so delicious. The calmar and the tempura shrimp were really good, too. Rania was an amazing waitress. She was really attentive and very helpful.

Tastefully decorated and interesting menu to choose from . We were served by the kind and attentionnés Rémy from Montpellier France. We arrived late after a Christmas concert and they graciously attended to us . Although we very much loved the food , it was not served hot enough . We had them reheat everything . The rice was cold . With rapid reactions , we got our food back quickly reheated . That was my only complaint . Please serve all food hot ! The flavors were lovely and the best general Tao with a light breading so you actually eat chicken not fried breading for a change from most other restaurants . The beef was tender, the steamed dumplings ,made in house and delicious . Their dim sum sauce is really good. Thai coconut and Tom yum soup great . I would choose a different rice , it is hard and ruins the quality of the rest . We ate a black sesame ice cream which I’ve never experienced before . Original and I really liked it . We will be back sometime but please improve the rice and your wine list . A good Chardonnay is welcomed . The same was very good as well.

Randomly parked my car infront of the restaurant, saw the menu and we were sold! Had 2 pad Thai’s one beef, one shrimp, kids General Tao poutine and shrimp tempura! Kids also had sesame ice cream. THEY LOVED IT! Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was clean and very nice looking will definitely go back!

They get really busy at lunchtime, so if you’re going in with a group, make sure to make a reservation. It’s a nice restaurant with good quality food and nice and friendly staff. I really liked the vibe as everyone was here on a business lunch. I sat at the bar and ordered “Salmon Tartar” with Garden Salad. They accommodated all my food allergies as well. My food was fresh and very tasty.

On our transit to Quebec City, we stopped by here in Montreal as we were craving Asian food. Happy we chose this spot with lots of seatings available. Very friendly and fast service. We had the shrimp Tom Yum soup which was very good! The shrimp steamed dumplings were great, making it a two in two for our visit. The final item was the sautéed teriyaki shrimp wok which my wife really enjoyed. Finally had a mocktail called Chinese Medicine, which was strawberry, lemon and kombucha hibiscus, which was hit too. Thanks!

Amazing coffee & healthy, delicious salads, veggies and sandwiches. Loved the chicken wrap and broccoli side. The parsley salad was so very absolutely good. Dominic and team are wonderful! So excited to see you busy and back in action post pandemic. Thank you for a yummy lunch! Now am powered up and ready for the rest of the day!:)

Great spot to grab a quick, healthy, and satisfying bite. Had a simple tuna wrap with swiss cheese, which was exactly what I needed. Quick friendly service who catered to our English speaking crowd with polite kindness. The beet side salad was equally welcome, and a small portion with the wrap was just the right amount!

Didn’t get a chance to take more photos as we devoured it right away. The fried squid was amazing. The mongolian beef is a must try as well. Service was top notch! This place is a must try when you are in Montreal!

Most of the food was really really good. I loved the Mongolian beef, the sauteed mixed vegetables, the pan-fried noodles with chicken and vegetable and the general tao (although very spicy). The general tao was actual thick pieces of chicken and the breading was crispy and not too thick. The Mongolian beef is not like PF Chang's Mongolian beef, but it's sauteed thin strips of beef with vegetables in a savory sauce. The meat quality was very good and the beef was tender and not at all tough. It was my favorite. The vegetables were crisp and tasty with a great variety (carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, baby bok choy, Chinese cauliflower, green beans and lotus root). The pan- fried noodles with chicken and vegetables had crispy noodles on top (like Chow mein) and they were still crispy when I got home even after driving 20+ min. Underneath was thinly cut bites of chicken and vegetables (the same as in the sauteed vegetables).The peanut butter dumplings were very small and a bit salty. The sauce portion was generous and it was topped with green onions. My 11 y/o son loved them, but they were just ok in my opinion. The shrimp toast was good, my husband loved it. It comes with a sweet dipping sauce. None of our dishes came with rice because we didn't order any combos, so we just made rice at home. The people who work there seem very kind, friendly and helpful. I placed the call by phone for pickup and the gentleman on the line was nice and patient and the woman who served me when I picked up the order helped me open the door and made sure I was able to carry the bag to my car. The only negative was that it was pretty expensive for the portion size. It cost more than my usual go-to Chinese restaurant and there's less food, but I'd still go again because the food is so good. There was also lots of paid street parking right near the restaurant. Even though it's downtown, it's on a road with mild traffic. Positives: Delicious food Fresh ingredients with lots of vegetables and good quality meat Friendly staff Ample street parking although downtown Negatives: Cost Smaller portions

Glad we could try this place when in town and certainly didn’t disappoint. Amazing soups on a rainy day ❤️ and we were accommodated despite not having a reservation. Highly recommended wonton soup, friend calamari and seafood noodles. General Tso chicken even though was the most recommended dish, it wasn’t to our liking. Service was above and beyond, very attentive and personable!

Excellent Szechuan food. My favorite Szechuan restaurant is Panda Gourmet in DC and I'm always looking for a restaurant that comes close to that one. This is the first place that I've found in all my travels that is as good. Will definitely return the next time I'm in Montreal.

My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by having dinner at Vargas. It was absolutely amazing. My wife had the prime rib, which was done to perfection, accompanied by the garlic mashed potatoes. She absolutely enjoyed it! I had the Beef Wellington. It was also amazing! I also had the lobster mashed potatoes, and oh my goodness, they were brilliant! We followed up our meal with the strawberry cheesecake. Wow, it too was amazing!! Our waitress/bartender Amy was very friendly and extremely professional. She is a great conservationalist and wise beyond her years! You are very lucky to have such an amazing employee. Bravo!

Dinner for 4: The food was not fresh... 3 plates out of 4 were returned because one plate was overcooked, another undercooked with the wrong steak requested, and the fish smelled very bad and tasted funny. They ended up replacing the fish plate with a salmon plate, which was much better. The other two steaks were replaced without a problem. The waitress's service was super nice. I have nothing to say about that. We took two bottles of red wine for our meals and both bottles were very cold. Red wine shouldn't be that cold... it spoils the taste. Will not be going again.

We went to Saiko Bistrot on a tuesday night for my boyfriend's 25th birthday. He ordered the nigiri omakase and I ordered the complete omakase, which includes the 10 nigiri, 2 entrées, a soup and a piece of cake, and we shared everything. Warning : the prices that are displayed on the restaurant webpage are from 2020 and are not up to date. We payed 80$ for the nigiri omakase and 150$ for the complete one, which is twice the price from 2020. Apart from the surprise of the price, the food was really worth it. Every ingredient is sooo tasteful and selected with care by the chef. We sat by the bar, and the chef prepared each piece in front of us, asking us what we preferred and adapting depending on our answers. I'm not usually too much into japanese food, but this was incredible. Our entrées were 8 pieces of sashimi (salmon, tuna and scallop), followed by 3 pieces of grilled scallops with crab, that had such a nice crisp to them. The soup was served with 4 makis and it was delicious. Then, the 10 nigiri were delicious : we had salmon, yellow tail tuna, shrimp, wagyu beef, eel... And finally, for the dessert, we chose a yuzu cheesecake that was very good, even if the slice was thin. Worth noting that the restaurant closes at 9, and the omakase takes quite some time : we got there at 7, and finished eating at 9:15, rushing a little through the end. To sum up, it is quite expensive, but I've never been so happy to spend this amount of money on a restaurant, it is very worth it.

I discovered this sushi place by recommendation. It was worth the try. We ordered the Nigiri Omakaze, and the chef prepared us freshly prepared Nigiri and some personalized ones not from the menu. They were some of the best that I've tasted in Montreal. We really enjoyed this experience, and we'll definitely come back!
