Auberge Du Dragon Rouge - Montreal, Quebec

This is a themed, medieval tavern where you can drink mead, eat boar, and be entertained by troubadours. It's very dark and hot inside and there's a lot of yelling, singing, toasting, and banging on tables. If that all sounds like a good time to you, then it's a lot ... of fun! I've been here twice, once during a weekday and once during the weekend, both for dinner. The weekend is way more fun because there are more people and more entertainment. There's no air conditioning so it's boiling hot in the summer (and nice and toasty in the winter). The troubadours are really engaging, especially if you're there for a special event. Prepare to interact with the performers, and maybe even sing and dance (the songs are mostly in French). We took our 3 year old there so it is kid friendly, though it is very loud and there's a dragon head on the wall so a small child might be a bit scared. They do have a kid's menu (picture attached), on the backside it has a picture to colour and they give crayons, but it's only in French. The drinks menu is also only in French. I've had the boar shank confit and sausage and it was good but a bit dry and not really worth the price ($50-60 for a plate with one shank, one sausage, and chips/fries - see picture). I also had the pork ribs and they were really good, but be aware that they're quite sweet. The cider sangria is great. Try the dragon's blood if you get the chance, it's intense but loads of fun. Overall I'd recommend this but be aware it's pricey and the food is not exceptional. You're paying for the experience and entertainment though! Read more

This was the best culinary experience I have been in a long time!!! Innkeeper Darius was our innkeeper all throughout the night. This guys should win an awards for being in his character all night. He's certainly love what is he doing. Professional but really friendly and know how to make us ... feel like at home. Yell DARIUS!!! and he will be at your table in no time. Food The feast was excellent! We ordered le Festin gargantuesque for 2 peoples which include this : - Boar sausage - Duck confit leg - Chicken leg - Ribs - Meat pie - Coleslaw and fries - Mayo and red wine sauce - 3 kind of potatoes We had the chance to add to our feast a Boar shanks for 40$ extra and it was well worth it. Everything was excellent! The best of all for me what the duck confit and the ribs and for my husband it was the boar sausage and the meat pie. Basically, everything was wow! Drinks Great options for every type of drinker Non alcoholic drink to hard liquor and for sure beer! Don't forget to try the Blood of the dragon shot! Inn (Auberge) For some of you, it will remind you an Inn from world of warcraft. Decorations are on point, it really take you back in the time!! Inside wall made from wood and rocks, weapon on the wooden beams, candles on tables, wood tables, shields and armor hanging from the wall..... Also, you can enjoy the nice patio outside with fairy lights. Ambiance This is the place where you can have a blast! If you are thinking of a quiet romantic diner, this is not the place to go... Well not in the inn itself. You will have live musician, singer, some role playing speech and even more. Get ready to sing and clap your hands! Basically, you wont regret it! Have fun to look at the pictures as well! The picture of the guy holding his beer was our innkeeper Darius!!!! Read more

We tried l’Auberge du Dragon Rouge for my brother’s birthday. We came last year for a dinner and this year for their brunch menu. Each time was very good! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is super cozy and warm! They do the whole show in French but because we were ... mostly English speakers they really accommodate us to understand and enjoy everything as well! The host Darius was super attentive and friendly! We did the traditional toast to drink “la sang du dragon” I recommend to try it at least once!. Read more

What a wonderful experience. First, the service was impeccable. They stayed in character the whole night, and they were very accommodating to English speakers! Second, the food was delicious! And they were very accommodating to the vegan in our party! Third, it was an amazing time.

My husband and I agree, our dinner at Auberge du Dragon Rouge was the the best, most memorable dinner we had when visiting the lovely city of Montreal. It’s very accessible by train, just a short walk from the orange line. They take cash or debit only, so be sure to ... come prepared! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The entertainment was boisterous and fun. It helps to speak French, but if your French is limited (like ours!) there is an English menu (the drinks are in French but they’ll help you out) and the staff are very accommodating. Shout out to our innkeeper Alistar for making the night so special! The atmosphere was very jovial and we were engaged in fun entire-restaurant activities such as song, dance, and taking a shot of the “dragon’s blood.” Though if you don’t want to participate no one will force you. The food was excellent, I had the meat pie and pig cheek with poutine and it was all very delicious. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely return! Read more
