Le Trèfle - Montreal, Quebec

I went into this place because it looked nice and I was looking for place to have some food and a pint and watch the game. I went in and found a seat at a table for four across from the bar and struck up a conversation with a guy ... sitting at the next table over. So far things were going well and I felt like I had found a promising new pub to hang out at. Unfortunately the next person I met was very unfriendly. He came over and said something to me in French. I apologized and told him my French wasn’t very good. He then asked me to sit at a smaller table even though the pub was only half full. I said I didn’t mind sitting with other people but he said that unless I had people coming that I would have to move. I told him that I liked the spot I was in because it had a nice view of the TV. I said I didn’t mind moving if the pub started to fill up. He didn’t seem very happy but he went away. Shortly after he left, a much friendlier server came by and asked if I wanted anything. I asked for a pint of 0%. Guinness. She soon came back with the pint and a menu. I had started to drink my Guinness and read the menu when the angry little fellow came back and insisted that I move to another table again. I told him I could still see plenty of other tables available. He said that there were some people who wanted my table. I laughed and said if they wanted my table that they could pay me for it. He said he was going to call the police! At which point I said that if I wasn’t welcome there then he should just give me my bill! I paid and left. On my way out he shouted happy Jean-Baptiste day! I will never go there again. Read more

great cider, intimate atmosphere because there’s space between the tables, good vibe and they have good employees

Came here for a drink and had a nice atmosphere. The music wasn't too loud so you could talk to the person next to you.

Love the food, drinks, and service here! They are very vegan friendly and the food is actually really good! I have tried the vegan burger and poutine and both are very tasty. Both this and the Wellington location are awesome

Great location, two outdoor terraces, one on Ontario St and the other on Charlemagne. Friendly staff, fast service, not too many choices of food, but there's something for everyone: burgers, sandwiches, poutines, nachos, fish, seafood, cakes. But it is really a pleasant experience, there is no traffic around, at least ... for now as Ontario St is closed, opened only for pedestrians. Beware, Le Celt is very good but is huge! Read more
