Had dinner with friends here last weekend. Great food and atmosphere. Our server was great. They were able to seat a table of 5 as a walk-in. Will go back when in Montreal.Chad Harris

Ate here three times during our stay. Food is delicious and the drinks are as well. The wings and burgers are definitely a hit. My friend really enjoyed his penne pasta. Service is some of the most efficient we experienced with everything coming out in a very timely matter.Jason Brown

My friend and I visited last weekend and ate here twice. The staff are friendly, bilingual, and efficient. The food is amazing and cocktails are innovative and delicious. We waited a few minutes for a table on the patio, only to have another couple of patrons scoop the table we were waiting for; the host seated us right away but when an even better table opened up right after we ordered, he moved us to it and offered us his apologies--we hadn't complained, but it was really nice to have been shown this consideration. I'm so glad this restaurant survived lockdown, and hopefully weekend brunch will eventually come back too!Alessandro soares

Stunning and unique location in the heart of downtown Montreal.Great queer venture to visit after pride events. The staff were attentive, language-flexible, and provided great recommendations.I'd return just to sit, have a drink, and enjoy the vibe.John Luongo

Great place to eat. We have dined at several restaurants on St Catherine’s stree and this has risen to the top. Food and service were great. For a restaurant located in a highly touristed area we were really super and happy. Will definitely be going back on future visits. Highly recommend it.TZ Snow

Ordered a $13 cocktail this weekend for last call that required ginger beer. I watched the bar tender finish a bottle of an almost empty ginger beer (couple tablespoons left) and then saw him eyeball it, and then proceed to pour in what looked - and tasted - like soda water. Nothing like an overpriced watered down cocktail. I wished he would have just asked me if id take a different cocktail instead. Just a shame, it was a beautiful cocktail that tasted significantly diluted, and it was my first drink of the night so very hard not to notice.3 stars because at least it had the alcohol in it.Jason Skinner

I come here for the experience of the good edm and house music !The food here is definitely an upgrade from most bar restaurant foods, they have a nice kitchen team that prepares refreshing meals.I’ve tried burger saloon, soup du jour, calamari, house steak bavette, house salad, sweet potato fries, tzatziki bread, butter chicken 👍thereaperunleashed F

Came from hamilton way and I have to say this is the best bar I've ever been to. Great inhouse made food, amazing service very friendly! Spoke fluent English and were very accommodating! Will definitely be back next time we're up here! Sam, the other bartender didn't catch their name were superhelpful, amazing to talk to and just great service atmosphere and food all around. This place puts any bar/nightclub in ontario to shame! Try the French onion soup! You won't want anything else!Joseph Tesolin

Saloon offers an absolutely out-of-this-world mac and cheese. I have never tasted anything like it. The addition of goldfish was a unique choice that I wasn't sure about, but it paired perfectly with the dish. The atmosphere is very nice and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a date.Demetri Karoutsos

A local merchant recommended this place to David, our friends and myself and we are so glad we checked it out. The food, cocktails, atmosphere and service were exceptional. Simon our waiter was charming and only added to our dinning experience. It’s establishments like this that make Montreal’s Gay Village a destination worth visiting still.templeH81

Sigh.We were very excited about this place, since we have had wonderful food on this trip.We ordered an onion soup that was bland and tiny. The nachos were very good, delicious sauces and very good tortillas, but we got the extra chicken and it had literally three small pieces of chicken. Yes, literally, three small bites. Awful.My cocktail was weak.The vibe of the place is great, and their front terrace was very nice. The servers were very friendly and helpful, even if the food was very slow to arrive. Edit: our last course arrived 27 minutes after we finished the appetizers, which also were slow. We complained about their chicken and to their credit, they removed the extra chicken from the nachos on the check.The salmon was bland, very little seasoning, the potatoes were also bland and they were stingy (3 small potatoes, really) with them. The veggies that came with the salmon were very good, tho.It's really sad that a place with such a great potential ended up being such a disappointment. 🙁Marcelo Juica

I went to Saloon with two friends. My friends ordered appetizers and main food to eat after. I ordered just a main food. The appetizer for my friends came quickly. So far everything is good. After an hour, literally, we called the waitress and asked for the main food. She said the kitchen was very busy but it was coming soon. Another 15 minutes, no food and no news. We called the waitress again to find out the status of our food. This time she said she was waiting for us to finish the appetizer before she sent the main food order in the kitchen. That was a new story because when she took the order she confirmed with us that we wanted the main food as soon as possible and no need to wait. She apologized and said she would go ask the kitchen how long it would take and come let us know. Again it took about 15 minutes, she didn't come back but I saw her serving other tables. We decided to leave as it was obvious we would not have our food after about an hour and half of waiting. Some other tables next to us also cancelled their food orders and left.We called the waitress to ask the bill. She came and did not even say anything about the food but I asked about it and this time she said they didn't have any bread in the kitchen to make a hamburger. It sounds like a joke, doesn't it? We paid and left.I was starving. I walked just 50 meters and ordered the same food at Notre-Boeuf-De-Grâce. It took 15 minutes, cheaper and it was super delicious with excellent service.Gabriel Serrano

Really good service. The server knew his job and was able to suggest among the variety of dishes the one that we enjoyed. Nice ambiance, and we're offered a table in the Terrace.Gabrielle B. Gagné

I got the calamari entry, it was really tasty but on the smaller size. Also got the half ribs and it was tender, juicy and honestly one of the best ribs I had. All the people I was with were more than satisfied with their meals. Service was also superb!! They were friendly, accommodating and attentive. Would recommend again and again!! ❤️Mattijs Peters

Great atmosphere, quick and friendly service and the owner is fantastic.The food was delicious, the best tacos that I’ve ever had in my life. Truly an explosion of flavours in your mouth, topped off with fresh cilantro. So colourful and appetizing.The surf and turf rivals that of the best steakhouses at 1/2 the price.Crispy chicken very moist and juicy.The drinks “The SALOON CEASAR rimmed with steak spice was a sip by sip deliciousness, the yummy olives, the basilic, balsamique, and a generous just right amount of vodka.The hot shots, the music was all great. Amazing experience.Thank you Le Saloon!!!Merci à toute votre équipe!Shelley Porcheron McGill

I got the chicken fillet along with the pillow princess and the purple rain. I got 3 fillets and they were almost like nuggets so for $10 I didn't think they were worth it even if they were just an appetizer. Both drinks were delicious tho and I would recommend. The pillow princess reminded me of a raspberry long island iced tea and the purple rain was originally too tart for me but after a moment of the ice melting, it was fantastic. A friend got the poutine and that was a large serving so I would recommend that.J.A. J.

Super fun place! Music is good, cocktails are amazing and food is great. You should definitely try the Purple Rain cocktail! 10/10Richard Fortner

if you love watered down cocktails, this is your place! I had 3 mojitos at $20 per drink. Im usually a lightweight but kept trying to get a nice buzz going. It never happened. The nachos with added chicken (which was about 1/8 of a breast) was terrible as well.Jose Alberto Botero Fuentes

It was good, although I asked for French fries and they were soaked on oil. Not a good presentation and looking. They looked old and disgusting. Service was great.James Lord Edwards

I was here earlier in the week with my friend and our waiter Marco was AMAZING. Fast forward to tonight. Service to order was long, the staff did not know the wifi, my beer was sent to the wrong table, my waiter should have know the catch of the day fully rather than some salmon dish on rice and lastly I ordered the NY steak only to find out they were out. I sure hope what I about to eat is decent.Joel Diotte

I enjoyed my time here, however staff were a tad poor at seating as I originally asked to sit inside (just to enjoy the energy) and after saying they'd bring me to a table, they realized they had none empty and just said sit at the bar. Instead I opted to walk out and sit on the patio.Very attentive service when I did sit on the patio; never needed to wait for the gentleman to take my order or get another drink. Minor issue when ordering the drinks, but I blame that on my own language barrier and not the staff.Charlotte Mikkelson

Nice terrace. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. No menu available, only by scanning a QR code. No effort is made to bring you a hard copy, so make sure you come with a charged smartphonefabrice messi

Went out to this place Sunday March 13th and had an amazing time! The drinks were great, the vibe was great, loved Simon and his music! He recommended a purple drink that for the life of me I cannot remember, and it was absolutely delish! Will definitely be going back!Paco Bordeleau

Good vegetarian selection. I didn't expect much and I ended up finding something up to my picky taste at fair price.Rachel Green

this is a noisy and comfortable restaurant with a somewhat upscale pub menu (loads of burgers!) and very friendly service. my dining partner and I both had salmon tartare, of two different varieties. although I had requested spicy, it was not spicy at all and in fact I found it under flavored despite all of the additions to the salmon. it was also very salty. the presentation was great, and it came with a nice salad. the salad, however, was served in a two small bowl, so I used my tartare plate for the salad, after I had finished the tartare. we were still hungry so we ordered an entree of calamari which was competent, but nothing special. all in all, I would rate this a three and a half stars.Thean Beckerling

So far I'm only greeted by French arrogance. No sign of Service. Watching the Server drinks shots with customers. I don't have a drink yet. Classy!Adam Levy

Not very accommodating. Just didn't want to seat us. Didn't want to put us on the waitlist. 7:30 and the restaurant was almost empty. Two of us only. Very very strange.Chloe L

The various cocktails are really tasty, but the food used to be better a couple of years ago. I loved the burgers but now they're limiting toppings, so it doesn't taste like much other than the patty.The vibe is great and the service is excellent.Firas El-Dali

This placed used to be good. Not anymore . 1/2 portions compared to before , and the quality of food is very disappointing. We brought our mother in law her to treat her.. that was a mistake . It’s unfortunate.Anne Desautels

Thank god for the bartenders who were practically running the whole place! The manager was so rude and arrogant. As I was paying my $200 bill, he told me he gave me 2 minutes to leave! Not sure if he was power tripping or jealous that people were having fun at the bar but he ruined our experience. They lost a bunch of us as clients.Teenoushh

Nothing too crazy, But the Mediterranean Pastas are delicious. The Calamari were delicious, the chicken mac and cheese also.The atmosphere was nice, I like the music. You can book for a big group. They have 2 bathrooms.The waiting time for your plates is kind of long.You can spot favoritism in the way some waiters are moving which is why I am giving it 2 stars.The waiters are a reflection of the business and if the waiters are adopting a pattern of behavior, it shows a lot about the Identity of the Brand that the restaurant has.Ray Kyle

This place is gone downhill a little bit.The staff is a little bit less friendly.And definitely less value for money.It definitely doesn't have the same appeal as it did back in the day. This place does not have English menus not recommended for English clients.Reese De Luca

A great resto with nice ambience and setting right in the heart of the village. They have a yummy selection of burgers that won’t disappoint.Pierre F Salomon Du Mont

Saloon is our first stop when we get into town. We love stopping in for lunch and a cocktail or two before checking in to our Airbnb. It's right on St Catherine's. The food is always consistently good. I have noticed the menu changes often. This time I had their salmon tartar with salad. It was delicious. It's served on stone slate with a side of bread chips. The salmon was fresh and very nicely seasoned and prepared. The salad was good with slightly too much dressing. I'll ask for it on the side next time. It came with a very good vegetable soup. The quesadilla was good as well. Nice size and well prepared. The service is always welcoming and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. They have a full bar. During the spring and summer months they have plenty of outdoor seating to people watch. Saloon is never a miss.
