About

The old is celebrated in new ways at Bar George, a modern-day rendezvous set in the grand heritage home once belonging to Sir George Stephen. Honouring the former resident’s roots, our chefs cook up contemporary takes on classic U.K. fare, spiked with Québécois quirks, while our bar pours time-tested bevies. Our space’s beauty and history are humbling, yet we fight formality with eccentricity, welcoming the wacky and the gnarly.

This could not be one of the best Bars we have ever been !! First the location … wow and wow … inside of a late 19th century Mansion in the heart of Downtown Near St Catherine st .. the vibe was amazing! The drinks and candle light ambiance was soooo romantic!! There is a live DJ PLAYING awesome live music!

It’s a wonderful place filled with amazing bartenders who are always ready to make your experience memorable. Okay, two pictures of Roman figures don't fit the history; a couple of the lamps were crooked, and some of the decorations were off-center. It feels like the manager needs to pay attention to the property a little more.

I went here for the first time to celebrate my birthday alone and was so impressed by the ambiance and the kind attentive service! BUT, I’ve NEVER had a beef bourguignon that DRY before. No joke almost choked and had to take sips of water after every bite of beef. Not only that but it was way too salty! I was expecting the food to be as immaculate as the atmosphere. When the waiter asked if I liked it I was too shy to say my actual opinion. I got a free birthday cake though that was very delicious just a bit too sweet for me at the end. But I really appreciated that for my birthday so thank you to the chef💗I also had the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes and that was very good. I will come back to try the beef wellington one day as I heard it can be very good.

During our recent stay at Le Mount Stephen Hotel in Montreal, we had the pleasure of dining at Bar George, and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Beef Wellington. Cooked to perfection, the beef was tender and flavorful, wrapped in a flaky pastry that added just the right amount of texture. We also enjoyed a refreshing salad with watermelon that offered a delightful contrast of flavors and textures—definitely a standout dish that complemented the main course. The coffee was fantastic—rich and aromatic, making for a perfect pairing with the desserts. The ambiance of Bar George is elegant yet inviting, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montreal!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience at Bar George! The pornstar martini was absolutely delicious—definitely a must-try. The atmosphere is simply amazing; it’s cozy yet vibrant, filled with the delightful sounds of conversation that make it feel alive. The intricate carvings adorning the walls and ceilings are stunning and add a unique charm to the space. I can't wait to return! Highly recommend!

Went for dinner with my husband and it was such an amazing experience. The place itself is breathtaking, with a detailed handcrafted interior design, wooden sculpted wall panels and elegant chandeliers. The service is excellent, our waiter was very attentive and offered impeccable service during the entire evening. The food is beautifully presented, and each dish we ordered was a great culinary experience. The beef wellington was like a piece of art with vibrant colors surrounding the beef slices. As for the desert, we ordered the monochrome, and I can safely say that it was probably one of the best deserts I've ever had. Each little piece is a combination of several layers of biscuit, mousse and other ingredients that blend perfectly well together as well as with the delicious ice cream accompanying it. Highly recommend this place for fine dining, such an experience!

Thursday night in August. Impressive entrance the crafts people who made this building would be famous today it is that gorgeous. Attached hotels seems like it might be cool. But as for our dinner: it was merely fine. I’m putting photographs of what we ate. Lost the one of the beef Wellington, which my partner said was really good. Our server had far too many tables for one individual to adequately help. Well, I had to return my club soda for being flat after waiting 10 minutes to get a drink, it was a little frustrating. The lime was so dry and had literally no juice. He mentioned that the green beans were not delicious and he offered to take it off the bill, which I didn’t expect so that was very nice. It probably saved his tip! All in all worth it to visit for a drink. Not the culinary adventure we enjoy.

A true experience! More than a restaurant - this is a dining experience to be savored. Our waiter was a highlight and kept us laughing and was very attentive. We reserved a private room with a fireplace and it was so quiet and intimate with the door shut. Food was out of this world. Highly recommend the beef Wellington and truffle gnocchi. Everything was incredible - you wont be disappointed with a single dish. Would recommend 100% and dream of going back one day. Felt like dining in a castle!

Octopus Carpacccio was perfectly well balanced. Squash soup was good but nothing extraordinary. Beef Wellington ! Best I ve ever had. Just when I d lost hope in beef wellington, thinking it was just something I d never enjoy but Var George got me obsessed with it. Risotto was delicious. Blend with curry flavours isn t exactly my thing but I know it was made really well. Desert was mediocre for me. Beef Wellington here is a must! Service was perfect, atmosphere was great too.

There are so many good things I have to say about this place. I will start with; there is a reason it s always full and it s worth the wait. The architecture of the building is timeless and beautiful and the ambiance is warm and inviting BUT to the important part The drinks and food are simply stated; IMPECCABLE. Starting with the oysters, super fresh and incredible. There is fresh scotch bonnet sauce that was one of the highlights of my meal. It has a high Scoville score and isn t for the faint of heart but is equally punchy with a colorful island forward flavor. I was literally pouring it on everything I could. Try it if you love spice. Please bottle this sauce. It s so amazing. The truffle gnocchi was artfully made; equally light and filling without feeling heavy. I suggest getting the bread with it so you can soak up all of the sauce. I literally struggled to maintain composure and not lick the sauce off of the plate. The BG salad was perfectly dressed. The octopus is fresh and unexpected and the crudo has a coconut forward refreshing flavor. I loved every single bite of my meal here and will definitely be back. Thank you Kevin and team for an amazing experience!

For a pre-dinner birthday drink, my date and I decided to stop by Bar George, and despite not having a reservation, we were seated at the bar in less than ten minutes a great start to the evening! The atmosphere was stunning, exuding Victorian luxury with its high ceilings and intricately carved wood facades. The warm and inviting setting made for a relaxing backdrop to our evening. However, the vibe was slightly off with a DJ playing in the corner. While their set was lively, the volume made conversations challenging, and with no space to dance, it felt out of place in such a refined environment. That said, the cocktail menu more than made up for it. I ordered the Martin Special: No Time to Die, a creative and creamy twist on a classic martini. It was absolutely unique and expertly crafted, showcasing the bar staffs incredible skills. The quick service and attention to detail added to the overall experience. While I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, I d recommend stopping by earlier in the day Ive been for their brunch before, and it s phenomenal. The quieter ambiance during brunch hours allows the charm of the space to truly shine. Regardless, Bar George is worth revisiting for its drinks, service, and historical beauty!

Food was a little underwhelming. The breakfast potatoes are phenomenal. The bread is hard and no jam. The egg was good but I did NOT want the cheese. They didnt warn me it was in there. Bacon solid. Though they accidentally swapped someone plate for beans. Not cool. Took about 15 minutes to grab waitress attention and check on the food.

We went to this restaurant for a friends birthday. The place is simply magnificent, the moldings and tapestries on the wooden walls are very well maintained. The food is excellent. I recommend the beef wellington of course! Obviously the prices are quite high and the bill rises very, very quickly. An experience that I recommend despite this.

December 1, 2024

The server was entitled and demanded a specific tip percentage, even though their job was limited to delivering food during a one-hour lunch. My brother and I ordered just three items caviar as an appetizer, two entrees, and coffee which brought our total to $500. The high price was entirely due to the caviar, not because of a complex or lavish dining experience. The service itself was minimal taking our order and delivering the food. We left a $20 tip, which we felt was fair given the limited effort and the fact that we didn t order any extras beyond coffee. Despite this, the server confronted us, asking if the service was terrible because it s customary to tip at least 15%, then stood there waiting for my brother to tip more. This level of entitlement is unprofessional and absurd. Tipping is discretionary and should reflect effort and quality neither of which were remarkable here. Last time I checked, the server doesn t procure, cook, or plate the food, so maybe they should check themselves before making demands. We informed the manager, who promised to address the issue, but honestly, I doubt anything will change. Overpriced food, minimal effort, and entitled service made this a completely disappointing experience. We won t be back.

Breakfast at Bar George felt like a journey back in time to old England. Settled into the long comfortable leather bench in the middle of a room adorned with wooden walls and frames, I started wondering if I had forgotten to wear a tie. The breakfast menu featured straightforward British fare, leading my friend and me to order Georges Full English while both ladies chose the Omelette Forestière to complement the surrounding ambiance. The service was outstanding, when the ladies left the table, the waiters covered their plates with basting domes and retrieved the domes as soon as the ladies returned. The staffs meticulous attention and professionalism significantly elevated and enhanced the meal. Looking forward to going back for a dinner experience.

I came with my brother who I was separated at birth from, for our first meeting. It was extremely dark, needed a flashlight. It took 2 hours for arrival of 4 cold dishes, the most unflavoured boiled vegetables. I have never had such flavourless vegetables. Our drinks sat empty the entire evening. I ve never talked to a manager before, that was scary. Keep Britain out of Quebec.

Brunch is simply not worth the price. The ambiance is very nice, the place is very instagramable. The waiters were kind but they were not attentive at all. One of the servers almost brought our order to another table. In general, the food is just not worth it. The avocado and toast is literally bread with sliced avocado on top for 18$+tax; there is no sauce, salt or spices. The other dishes were good, just extremely overpriced. The wait time for the food was also quite long for our table. We were ready to order at 10h15. After placing our order, the dishes only came to us at 11h15. We also had a mixup where the waiter misheard hot chocolate and brought my friend a hot toddy instead. If youre going to this restaurant for the pictures, I understand. But just know that you will have to pay a lot for average food. Edit: went for a group supper the second time. Increased my rating for food and service. The second time our waiter was very attentive and the food was delicious. Although it was a limited group menu. I really recommend this place for supper rather than brunch. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options seemed to be some of the most overpriced dishes. Kid-friendliness: Seemed kid friendly. Several families seemed to be enjoying the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure if they have a wheelchair entrance. The main entrance is several stairs. Would be impossible to access with reduced mobility. Perhaps the wheelchair entrance is on the side.

The ambiance in the dining room was even nicer. Such a soothing, quiet evening with my wife. The burrata and halibut were top-notch. Portions are only moderately-sized so our usual strategy of splitting an appetizer and an entree left me still a little hungry so I ordered some dessert named after a mountain in Switzerland that they set on fire before I got a chance to eat it. It was also delicious, but my wife only took one bite because she wanted to watch her figure. Unfortunately, it rained on our walk back to the hotel and my wife s hair got messed up, or so she claims. I didn t notice any difference in her hair.

The beef wellington is very good. It accompanied well with the sauce and the mushrooms. The mushroom soup is very good as well. The dessert is very nice, not too sweet, just right. The staffs are very nice as well

We sat down for dinner at 8 pm, it had been a sweltering day and we needed relief. Bar George is a historic stone building that adjoins a hotel - and so it was very full of hip/swanky/luxe people. No matter who you were, you suffered that night: there was no air conditioning, and it was above 80 F in the dining area. My wife and I sweat out two martinis each without feeling a thing. It was so warm, the gin was almost room temperature. We were trying to make the best of it, so we ordered caviar service - which was terrific. But the waiter/manager was lifted and in such a hurry to feed us (at nearly 930 pm) that he didn t check the meat temperature before serving us a steak so rare inside it was blue. He took it off the bill, but our evening was miserable due to the heat (and the fact that we left hungry). This place is all attitude, no execution.

Visiting from Toronto and had an incredible experience. The space immediately feels special. All the food and wine suggested by Jonathan was incredible. He really made the experience anticipating every need, making great recommendations catered to our individual tastes. Very engaging and friendly while also giving us space to catch up. Wonderful experience will be back and recommending to friends again and again. Thank you Jonathan and Bar George!

The moment you enter, youre welcomed by ornate Victorian décor. The staff are polite and helpful, even offering free bread to make up for a small mix-up. The food is well-prepared with quality ingredients, but at the price point, it could use more flair. Portions are fair, but without the extra bread, I would have still been a bit hungry. Overall, the ambiance is lovely, and the service is excellent, but the food doesnt quite justify the cost.

Bar George is a busy spot, even at 5pm on a very rainy Wednesday. Putting your name at the host stand and waiting in line is also somewhat convoluted as they assumed since I was speaking in English, my first language wasnt french and I could not understand the regulars that kept getting admitted no reservation before us, because they know somebody. Additionally, sitting at the bar, the drinks were great, but there were items missing from the list and thats always a faux-pas for me when you dont offer your full menu. The bar itself is gorgeous though, and the vibe is fantastic.

The architecture of this restaurant was beautiful. The customer service was also good. However, we did not leave feeling satisfied with food given the high price tag. The beet salad and the chocolate dessert were excellent. However, our mains, the Beef Wellington and Chicken Roulade did not live up to our expectations. The beef Wellington by itself was nothing special, and it relied on the fancy colourful sauces to add flavour. It was not worth the price. The Chicken Roulade was ok, but not worth the money.

Today is my wifes birthday. We came here with a cake and gave it to you for safekeeping before the meal. No one mentioned the cost to me. When I got the bill, it said frais de gateau and it cost 30$. And this 30$ had to be added with tax and tip. Because today is my wifes birthday, I didnt want it to affect our mood. I paid the bill and gave the tip, but I have to tell you that your behavior is too low.

Very Nice place in Montreal. I prefered the bar area over the restaurant area. The Cocktails were good. I haven t been impressed by the food though. Might be because I took the tartare but didn t make me want to order more. My friend ordered something else and was happy with his choice. Service was nice! I recommend for a drink, in the bar section.

The brunch is objectively terrible. Unfathomably bad. Except the fries and potatoes to be fair. But everything else could not have been made worse. From the undercooked lobster, to the tasteless eggs, the fishy fish. This place looks way too nice for the food to be this terrible.

A place with mixed impressions. To put it bluntly: the food itself is fantastic. Everything else about our evening wasnt good. The service was catastrophic! It started at the reception: a visibly stressed and annoyed woman at the reception. Maybe she should look for another job. Then we went to the table. After more than 10 minutes at the table, at least someone came over with water. I ordered our drinks from him and he was probably a bit surprised. After a good 20 minutes, a waiter tried to come to our table to quickly take our order. As someone who has reviewed so many restaurants on Google, I actually knew after the first 10 minutes that it would have been better to get up and leave the restaurant. In the meantime, while we were kept waiting, new guests were given priority. It was probably because they came in a group of 4 and ordered wine. It was evident throughout the evening that tables with wine were better served. That shouldnt be the case. We also ordered beer. One for $15. So not exactly cheap either. And it didnt just stop at two beers in the evening! We both also ordered the most expensive main course (Beef Wellington). Everyone also gets an appetizer and bread (costs extra here). But about the rest of the evening: After we could finally order, the bread arrived at some point. Bread for $8. After another long wait, I expect it to come to the table warm. None. Cold, had been cut for a while and there were 3 pieces for the money. The appetizers arrived at some point. About 45 minutes after arriving at the restaurant. A somewhat stressed busboy put the two dishes on the table. No explanation, nothing about it. Too bad. The dishes deserve a more detailed description and attention. It was the squid carpaccio and the beef tartare. Both very nicely prepared and tasted like a poem. The tartare was a bit boldly seasoned (a bit spicy) but I thought it was just perfect. By now the beer and water were empty. A busboy came back and cleared away the plates. He was so fast that I couldnt even say anything. 15 minutes passed until a real waiter showed up again and confidently asked if everything was okay. No, nothing was okay. I have been sitting in front of empty glasses for a long time while other tables are being served. I told him that pretty bluntly and straight to his face. As a guest, I not only pay for the food and the location, but also for the service (in Canada, by the way, with a legal minimum wage since this year). He was a bit shocked and said they were a bit busy, but is that my problem as a guest? No. Then the management should accept fewer reservations. From then on the service went up a bit. However, he only got really good after half the guests had left. Maybe 2 waiters are just not enough for a room like this. But I wish (and one can expect) that all guests are treated equally. However, since certain tables were preferred, the service at other tables (not just ours) was completely non-existent. The main course, the Beef Wellington, was perfect. From the cooking point to the seasoning to the serving. A poem. Its not cheap, but definitely worth the money. The dessert was also excellent and was even flambéed at the table. We had the Baba au Rum and the Mont Blanc. Both very delicious and not too heavy. The espresso was also excellent and had the same quality as in Italy. Perfect. About the ambience: yes, its beautifully done, but also really dark. This is because many light bulbs are broken. How about an exchange? Would I go again? Probably less so. The service and reception were too bad for me. Its a shame because the food was so perfect.

This restaurant should never have accepted our group on a Saturday evening at the end of summer: a family celebration of an 80 year old grandmother who had loved the place for brunch. We didnt have our place at that time. A cool place where rich tourists, middle-aged professionals, couples, young people celebrating and (too many) sugar daddies rub shoulders with their escorts the age of their daughter or granddaughter. We should have been told that the time would have been more appropriate on Saturday or Sunday noon. Food from fair to excellent. The staff was great!!!! but they were caught with a group they werent expecting on a Saturday night. A mismatched blind date. Anyway, my only complaint is with the sales department. We would have spent as much money but would have had a better time if you had directed us to conditions more suited to our situation.

The waiter was unfriendly and rushed. While the dishes looked nice, they lacked flavor. We had the chicken and beef Wellington, which were very disappointing. Even the dip with the fries was bad. Despite telling them in advance that we wanted a birthday cake, they forgot. They brought a candle and a slice of cake, but the waiter rudely took the sparkler away while we were taking photos. The food wasnt worth the price, and only the cocktails were good. I wouldn t go back or recommend it to anyone. The kitchens smell was overpowering in the dining area. We couldnt even enjoy the cake as it was terrible.

This restaurant impresses with its luxurious old-money style and richly decorated vintage interior. The staff is professional and courteous, adding significant value to the overall dining experience. Although the dishes are served slowly and in small portions, this seems to be a common trait among high-end restaurants. Notably, the restaurant offers free Wi-Fi, allowing guests to stay connected during their wait. Additionally, the waitstaff frequently refills water, ensuring comfort while waiting. Overall, this restaurants ambiance and service are top-notch, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a refined dining experience.

Bar George is really fancy and the food is delicious and extremely rich. It is in a really cool hotel and the decor is exquisite. They have the best beef Wellington that I have ever had in my life because it is unique and has a lot of ingredients that I really appreciated, such as a ground up mushroom paste of some kind that was inside the pastry. They also have a fine selection of wine.

I had a reservation at a table but decided to sit at the bar instead. Best decision! Service was fast and friendly, my cocktail was great and the black truffle gnocchi was beyond amazing. Sure, the meals are on the more expensive side but I find this restaurant to be so worth it based on the quality of the items and the beauty of the place within itself. Highly recommend!
