Everything about this restaurant is excellent. It does what it wants to do: serve a quality, comforting meal with excellent service and a very knowledgeable wine steward (she knows everything, in the best way). It’s my happy place, with special thanks to Jen and Erin.

Bar George is a staple for a nice (and quick) business lunch - such a beautiful building and always good food and service. Only negative surprise was that the bread basket (which included 3 pieces of bread) cost $8 - since when is bread extra?! Or the fact that bread cost extra should be mentioned by the server when they asked if we wanted bread.

Have been out in Montreal many times and can’t believe we have never eaten here! Took our uni daughters on Friday night. Fantastic. Yes the mushroom toast is the best. Short rib pasta too. And the special of octopus risotto was terrific! Drinks, wine all perfect. Best part was our amazing young woman server. She was personable, professional and attentive. Made the evening better which is saying a lot given how great the food was. We will return!
