Monkland Tavern - Montreal, Quebec

Went on a Saturday night with our of town guests. This restaurant has a great vibe. The server was impressive. He knew the menu and specials inside out and was super professional. Excellent bartender knew how to make proper martinis. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. This all happens ... because the owner was present and involved, ensuring her guests were well taken care of. Highly recommend Taverne Monklamd. Read more

One of our favorite new spots to go! Service is top notch. The staff all works as a team so you are never left unattended. And the food is phenomenal. Also love the atmosphere. Very cute spot for photo ops ;)

My spouse and I had the most delightful dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our waiter, who turned out to be the one of 3 chef owner, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain almost every ... ingredient in the dishes we chose. We were impressed to learn that many of the ingredients were sourced from the restaurant's own garden, adding a special touch to our meal. The food itself was simply outstanding. The fresh homemade pasta melted in our mouths, and the bass that I ordered was cooked to perfection. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into preparing our meals. Overall, we left the restaurant feeling satisfied and eager to return for another culinary adventure. We can't wait to sample more of the menu offerings next time and see what other delicious creations the chef has in store for us. This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Read more

Absolutely stellar, a solid 10/10! If I had to sum up my time here in a single word, it would be "balance". The culinary creations are not just inventive, they're impeccably balanced. The service is simply outstanding. Corinne and Tom behind the bar were a treat to watch. It almost felt ... like they were siblings, they were so in sync and they never left anyone waiting. It's clear that every member of the team is not only knowledgeable but operates in perfect harmony. As for the ambiance, it's a perfect blend of funky, upscale, and casually chic. You could step in wearing your finest attire or rock a t-shirt and jeans and totally feel right at home. I was first welcomed by Barb, one of the owners, who was welcoming, personable and had her finger on the pulse of everything! I love seeing an owner lead by example on the floor. And I was incredibly fortunate that my dining journey was personally curated by none other than the executive chef part owner, Josh Crowe. Having recently returned from a culinary adventure in Italy, I couldn't help but feel transported back to the streets of Rome and Florence with each bite at Monkland Tavern. Yet it still felt uniquely Canadian as Josh is proud to source a large amount of the ingredients locally. This experience undoubtedly ranks among the finest I've ever had. I'm already eagerly anticipating my return. Monkland Tavern comes with my highest recommendation to all. A heartfelt thank you to the remarkable staff for making this experience truly exceptional. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Read more

Delicious on a whole new level!! 😍 Appetizer: stripped bass crudo and bread (focaccia with wild stripped bass on a bed of kohlrabi crostone). As a foodie, the crudo was unreal (similar to ceviche). For main, I had the pork chops, quite filling, quite fatty I'm taste and generous proportions. The St ... Rita drink was perfect cocktail for a sweet ending. Thank you Xavier for excellent service.
