Taverne Sur Le Square in Westmount

Nice place for an office get together.

Glad I tried this institution, but was left a bit underwhelmed by the food. We tried the cacio e pepe brussels sprouts and the steak and aligots. Both were fine, but nothing special. Would have liked a bit more texture in both dishes personally. I d only go back for a drink and dessert. The bread pudding is the best I ve had in Montreal. The Manhattan with the homemade cherries was great too.

best steak and amazing everything.

Five-star service, excellent bib!

Fantastic in every way. Great wine list. Dont miss it.

Ordered prosciutto and focaccia. It was delicious extravagant Explosion of flavours in your mouth if you order it with the focaccia it is enough for someone s full dinner! I adored how to focaccia was crispy on the outside, but was soft on the inside! The french fries were delicious and crispy and are enough for two people! My bubby ordered the mushroom pasta we loved how creamy it was! The swordfish was light and delicate, and it was the perf ect size for one person s dinner! Mike was our waiter. He was hilarious, nice and very handsome Quoted my bubby. In conclusion this evening and restaurant experience was five star experience and had delicious food incredible service, and wonderful company!!! five out of five

The size of the dishes were very small in comparison to the price. When we made an complaint about the dishes being small, the waiter simply ignored this and continued to give us the bill.

The food itself was tasty, it was just scandalously little. I ordered the pasta and got 3 strips of tagliatelle, I paid $32 for this. What a joke.

Not value for money, I think we paid about 5 per tagliatelle string. It was really scandalously small in terms of amount of food. Then you would think that this would be compensated with atmosphere if you saw the average rating of this place, but half of the time we were there we had a spotlight on our face from the lighting that was suddenly turned on, which was not very good either. was nice. Shame.

Ridiculously small portions. The pasta contained 4 strings of tagliatteli. We wont be coming back here again.

What s wrong with some places? Even if the food is ok, the snobby attitude and the way over prices makes it ridiculous It s a tavern not a Michelin star restaurant I had the audacity to ask if the ribeye was grassed because it was 8$ per once with a minimum of 13 onces per serving the answer from our waitress : I think it is There so much better places in Montreal that you do t have to east your time there.

Food is ordinary, not worth the $$$ Good service Very nice space & atmosphere Food : 3/5

Ate here for NYE and the food was phenomenal! Service was excellent too, and the atmosphere was, as expected, fun a vibrant. The stand-out dishes for our party were the steak, key lime pie and bread pudding. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Montreal area.

A Westmount classic, best staff and food.

Excellent food and service reasonably priced.

Always great vibes eating here. Even after 6 years, the food, the service, the wines. One of my favourite restaurants in the city.

A casual evening with suitable combinations of food pairings. The appetizer was a tad cooler, and the plate was cold. The taste was subtle, and the consistency was perfect. When the waiter did their quality control, I inquired about the intention of the temperature. Kindly express it was colder than I would have liked. The service was on point. The main course was fish, and I loved everything about it. When the bill arrived, they credited me the 32$ appetizer. Appreciate the kind professional gesture. Will return.

Food was delicious, servers were great. I do resent the payment system that now defaults to a starting point of 18% tip on top of tax. No more 15% option. I have always tipped 18%, now I feel cheap. And yes, I know you can put your own chosen dollar amount but realistically, who does that?

When I go to bed at night, I dream of the grilled cheese and salmon tartar. You cannot just go once. Once you know, you know.

Great spot! Good food!

I had the chance to have dinner with friends for my 50th birthday yesterday and what a joy it was. The food was delicious, the staff warm and attentive and a wine list for all lovers and connoisseurs! Thank you for this unforgettable evening.

Always a very good experience. Good atmosphere and great service.

Prices have have gone up so much, the portions are tiny, the selection on the menu is small. They wont even bring you a piece of bread anymore (you have to buy the Focaccia!). We used to eat here quite often and loved it but were very disappointed with our last meal. Sadly now you feel like you are being taken advantage of, we wont be going back...

Great food. Cozy place. Helpful staff.

Great waitress. Food was delicious but expensive and portions are on the smaller size. Atmosphere pleasant enough

One of the best restaurants in the city period. If you don t know, now you know.

My go-to favorite place for a phenomenal meal! Mac n cheese and bread pudding are must haves Parking: Be sure to get your parking voucher before you leave

Jon and his crew have the perfect balance of attentive and casual service. One of our favorite go-to spots for a special occasion or an impromptu night out. Their specials of the day menu tends to have some gems, especially when it comes to local and in season food.

Very friendly service from knowledgeable staff.

Really good food, the duck was amazing and so were the mashed potatoes!

The main course is very disappointing . We all couldn t complete our dishes . Very bad food quality and not to be recommended at all

Second time in 2 years at taverne - the food , service , atmosphere all fantastic ! Great job !!!!

Great service, and very good!!!

Great food with great service. The salmon was good but a bit small.

Nice place with good food although it is a bit overpriced. I had the duck breast and it was cooked perfectly but it was very salty. There is a full bar with a very nice drink selection. The service was good and the waitress was friendly.

Tavern on the Square was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, the staff was exceptionally courteous, with a very warm dining ambiance. Looking forward to returning soon.

The food was good (radicchio salad and salmon), but the cocktail was bland and watered down. The service was disappointing. Not very attentive, nor proactive for a group of 10 people.

Excellent service! Excellent food! The kind of place where you are family on your first visit and will have you coming back again and again! Food

We had the most outstanding experience at The Tavern last night - everything from food to service to atmosphere was flawless. This restaurant is a sure thing - you can never go wrong dining here.

Great service, great wine, and an awesome New York steak and mac and cheese!

Attention to detail impeccable. Service was on point. Food was absolutely delicious

Exquisite We tried the stake, veal chop and the berger. They were all excellent but I loved the veal chop more. A limited menu but the options are all good. A very wide range of wine and a very pleasant experience.

Delicious, juicy, tasty NY stake Also, unique lamb chops, it was fantastic, yet I cant say we had the best serving. Expect vine recommendation witch it was the best.

Good quality food really enjoyed eating indoors again.

Nothing has changed at the Taverne which is great. Excellent meal, great service and a good vibe with a nice crowd. What more can you ask for.

One of the great classics of Montreal, where you are never disappointed.

What a great spot for dinner or drinks and tapas. Met up with friends for drinks at the bar. Loved the atmosphere and service was great too.

Fun, friendly and reliably varied menu options and daily/weekly specials rarely disappoint . Our neighbourhood favourite and a good business lunch choice as well (provided lunch ever returns in the post-covid world).

Wonderful food, service and vibe.

Incredibly expensive for the service offered. Nice place but for the price paid, go elsewhere!

A great evening. Our first visit back since Covid. Starters of smoked haddock white bean dip with home made potato chips, and the crustini layered with capicola and buratta were delicious. Two of us had the steak with wine reduction which was so melt-in-your mouth it came across like tenderloin, not a NY strip. The lamb neck special with peas and rosemary was comfort food and satisfying. Lastly a plate of their rigatoni with pulpette was enjoyed thoroughly as the tomato sauce had that texture and flavour that only comes from slow cooking. As with everything else in 2022, prices are higher than I would have expected to pay a year or two ago... but this is now. The staff were polite, engaging and knowledgeable. Throw in the free evening parking in the Westmount Square garage and you have a perfect outing.

Delicious!

The best

Disappointing .... limited menu, very expensive, harried wait staff. Food was only ok and it was very noisy. Look elsewhere for dining commensurate with the price.

Pros: Before the pandemic, I was always happy with the food and service here. Now they are one of very few restaurants that has a covered terrace, so you can dine outside even when the weather is not cooperating. Cons: This is based on my most recent meal. We went for a light meal before going to the cinema. While the service was attentive, the meal was nothing special, and the server was impatient with our questions. The cocktails were totally average. The salad and wings felt like they had been made from leftovers from other dishes. The burger was tasty, but when I asked if they could serve it with the relish on the side we were told there was absolutely no modifications because they are not a burger joint. I mean, I understand, but there were like 6 other tables in the place at the time (more than 1 waitstaff/table) and its still a $32 burger that was clearly a take on a Big Mac. There was NO presentation whatsoever, just the item on the plate. So, 3 stars since I had had a few 4-5 star experiences here before, but this last one was max a 2. I will look harder next time for somewhere else with a covered terrace.

Food was okay but definitely not the price and their moscow mules were very disappointing.

Best dinner Ive had at restaurant in two plus years Every person (the 3of us) insisted the other try our dish cause it was the best. I think the 5oz strip steak won. The dessert and starters were all supreme. The service was friendly and accommodating. Felt covid safe as well. $$$$ is the one thing to beware of

A super beautiful experience. Yes it was a wedding but I m definitely taking my wife back . Staff is absolutely amazing kind funny friendly! The food omg !! Delicious! Drinks just as refreshing and a engaged owner . Highly recommended. Like I sad cannot wait to go back

Amazing service and incredible food!

No better place for celebratory or family dinners. Thank you for taking such good care of us each time we visit.

Best food and service

This steak. Wow.

Always exceds expectations

A little expensive and the starters lacked finesse, but it was delicious. The service was very good and the waiters were attentive. We will surely return there.

4 people, two bubbles, meeting at the table Desjardins infinit privilege very good food, good portions, well done to the whole team

Taverne is one of the classics. The best service, the best staff. Delicious food in the best atmosphere. The mac&cheese is one of life s great pleasures. The wine list is extensive and amazing.

Good food and ambiance

Excellent service. The server we had really cared about giving good service. Food is average. Very overpriced. Poor value for the money. Youre paying to eat at Westmount Square. Save your money and find better value elsewhere.

Good food, small portions Expensive ($35 mac & cheese) and hanger steak was chewy ($35 what do you expect) Service unprofessional (amateur) Great ambiance

Great service and location.

Always wonderful.

Steady, consistent creative fare, friendly and knowledgeable staff plus interesting wine list. 2021 update: Still as solid as ever

Service was great but this is specifically about the food. Someone is being scammed here it is us as the customer, or the kitchen with their suppliers. Paid $35 for a truffle Mac and cheese that was delicious, but actually a carbonara. No one at the table (we ordered 2) tasted any hint of truffle pretty sure I tasted bacon instead. Ordered the burrata which looked and tasted like a half scoop of goat cheese. It was a joke. Didn t take any pictures and tried not to make a big deal since we were with friends who recommended the place, but I woke up pretty angry at the exorbitant price we paid just to be duped like this.

Food was absolutely fantastic and the service was exceptional.

Just awful, would rather go to Mcdonalds . Waited for an hour and a half for a salad ended up forgetting the sides

Excellent attention, very welcoming staff, and the delicious menu, I really liked it!

Very disappointing. We went there after hearing it was one of the best burger in Montreal. It was good but definetly not worth the price we paid (had much better burgers in Montreal for less). Basically the burger itself is 28$ + 2$ extra for a slice of kraft cheese (not at all the quality level you expect from this type of restuurant!!!). The burger is served with nothing on the side so you have to add 12$ for fries so a total of 42$ for a burger equivalent to any burger youd eat in a good Irish pub for 20$. Maybe the other things on the menu are better but they definetly lost our business after this first experience. Only positive side is that the waiter was really nice

Great staff we had several fish appetizers and enters excellent

Good quality on the food and a nice atmosphere, great service.

Had a burger with fries and salad. Food was good, but a bit over priced

Good was good but and the service was friendly but very slow. Just ok.

Natural wine selection was amazing. We went with what Jon Circone recommended and were thoroughly impressed- service was fun, classy and yet unpretentious. Beautiful atmosphere.

Gets very noisy at lunch time.

over-priced and tasteless.

Good service although staff is young and constantly interrupting and/or taking dishes away while others at the table were still eating. Some servers were loud and unruly serving other tables, clearly in party mode with their friends (patrons). The food is overrated (in our humble opinion). Bread (which was sparsely served as one slice cut in 1/2 until we mentioned something) was stone cold and crumbling apart in our hands. The roast cauliflower was delicious but cold. One of us had to send back our main dish as it was not fresh (fish). Ended up with overpriced macaroni which was good but the pleasure factor was no better than Kraft mac n cheese. Wines were ok but first round had to be sent back as it was off . All in all, I don t get it what the fuss is all about. Absolutely nothing spectacular. Once was enough. Yuck!

Awsome

Friendly staff and fantastic food.

Great food

Omg this place is amazing!!! Food and wines delicious. I want come back more times

Very good service, meats, the ambiance is perfect!

The food was amazing, we had the steak tartare and gnocchi with truffle, simply divine. The wines were also delicious, they have private importations, among the best wines I tasted in my life. The sommelier explained us the story of each wines, it was a unique experience! Really recommend this place and they have wine by the glace, perfect to taste different wines.

Beyond amazing #1 in MTL

Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Nice and cozy, slightly overpriced, but well executed menu. We were there in the in-between service where only 4/5 items were available. Nice selection of wine, staff was friendly-ish.

Great drinks and food

Great food items with a twist and knowledgeable staff

bad experience

Everything was exceptional.

Great food and very responsible social distancing practices.

Go for the keylime pie and cheese plate, stay for the guinness of draught!

Delicious!!!

I came here once for a work-related Christmas party. The drinks, food and venue was excellent. Our server was incredible. Unfortunately, I dont remember his name. I would have given him a shout-out.

Over rated!!

Had French fries, fried in Wagyu Beef. Was really worth all the burping I did afterwards from all that delicious beef fat . Staff is amazing, friendly and service over the top! A causal - posh place for drinks and great food. Somewhat costly, but its well worth it.

Great food and service. Very pleased

Tasty!

Great place, good affordable lunch.

Beautiful high-end pub. Great food.

for the price you paid, i wpuld expect better food... its not bad, but i was expecting more

Great meal and great service. What more can you ask for.

The service can sometimes be slow, but it is always pleasant and the food is great!

Always great service, great great food and great wine choice. Very easy for gluten free peeps to eat here because they know what they cook with - nothing pre prepared ! So fresh ! Worth every penny ! More soup please!

Have been here many times over the years. Impeccable service and delicious food!

Excellent service and very tasty meal! A very nice wine list! A must!

Ive had better service at Tim Hortons.

Classic Montreal establishment. Jon Cercone runs the wine program and restaurant itself to a tee. Great specials, and for its location and reputation, reasonable prices. The Mac & Cheese is to die for. The staff are professional and well-trained. Stephen Leslie has curated a wonderful, eclectic menu.

Great food!

I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant since they opened several years ago and although they have had their ups and downs like the rest of us in business, I still maintain that they generally aim to please and their soups among other dishes are pretty good. Staff are always very friendly and the service is prompt; I enjoy having my lunches there and my guests are usually pleased as well.

Great food , amazing atmosphere, excellent service! All in all a successful evening!!

Not bad for food and service but difficult for disabled

Great food and beautiful terrace

We were a big group for a luncheon, the space was spacious, we had many servers regularly moving around for the full service. The food was excellent and everyone was pleased. Would go back again.

Fine place but a little wierd

The food is amazing, and the staff is terrific!

Great service and amazing food!!

Great vibe

It s just a really good place. The staff knows their product. Its comfortable. The atmosphere is pleasant, it s smooth. No douchebags.

Drinks were great, had both the Old Fashioned and a Stormy Mike. Dinner was even better, really interesting take on Salmon Tartare and the Grilled Calamari and Shrimp was cooked to perfection.. Lindsay G was the perfect waiter, you should ask to be seated in her section. Courteous and attentive without being invasive. Cant recommend enough.

Very good but too expensive for the service, it is simple and well-executed cuisine.

A little expensive for my taste

Small menu and small portions but high quality.

Delicious Truffle Macaroni

The Taverne restaurant on the square is one of my favorites. The service is exceptional, the people who serve you are very kind and funny. The food is delicious. My meal that I eat all the time is the 50oz New York steak. I love steak a lot because the richness of the flavor is extraordinary.
