A word from Pub Burgundy Lion
The word pub is derived from the term public house. A public house was traditionally a meeting spot that could serve as a center for the community as much as the local church. With Burgundy Lion, we immerse ourselves in the community and re-create that sense of comfort but with a modern twist. The… concept behind the design and feel of Burgundy Lion is to blend a traditional British pub with a modern lounge bar and to offer a unique twist on British pub cuisine. Burgundy Lion is located in Little Burgundy, an old working class neighborhood in Montreal, steeped in history. Since the early 90"s, Little Burgundy has enjoyed a re-birth as young professionals are taking advantage of its renewed sense of community. Burgundy Lion is not a "traditional" pub by Montreal standards. It provides a higher quality product in food, drink, service, and ambiance than other Montreal pubs.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "On sait qu'au Burgundy Lion il n'y aura pas de surprise désagréable. On y va pour retrouver l'atmosphère et la nourriture typiques de ce que l'on se remémore de certains restaurants et pubs de l'Angleterre et on n'est pas déçu. Le menu varie peu et c'est ce à quoi on s'attend et ce que l'on veut."

  • "While food may not be the most exquisite at the Burgundy Lion, I love going there because the service is great and the ambience is perfect for a casual afternoon or night out with friends. They have a great selection of drinks at decent prices, so there's for sure a drink for everyone. Food is slightly overpriced for what it is, so I would normally not go out of my way to have dinner there. As a bar though, it's one of my favourites in Montreal."

  • "The food was great. I had the bubble and squeak, and shared a colonel rabbit with mac and cheese as well as the strawberry rhubarb crumble. The rabbit was good but nothing too exceptional. The brunch was good, but also like any other brunch places. I really liked the warm and creamy strawberry rhubarb crumble though, was very well done."

  • "Pub Burgundy Lion never disappoints! Great food, great beer & cocktail selection (small list but still something for everyone) and feels like an authentic British Pub. I would recommend this place to Anton for lunch, dinner, or just a fun evening out."

  • "Great food but waiters made lots of mistakes taking orders, other mistakes trying to correct the latter, rushed to leave our table, took our plates twice under our nose when not finished. First time this happened, not sure will go back."

  • "Le pub est une belle découverte. Moi et mon conjoint avons été charmés par le décors, la nourriture (votre bacon est exceptionel) et l'ambiance. Nous avons essayél le brunch du dimanche et nous nous promettons d'y retourner pour un lunch et aussi pour essayer la Terasse en été. Nous avons d'ailleurs réservé pour ce dimanche avec la famille. A bientôt"

  • "The staff were very accommodating for our birthday party group. They let us bring our own cake, and provided a knife, etc. However, the space felt a bit cramped for 7 people. Maybe because the restaurant was full when we arrived (Saturday lunch). As for the food, I expected better quality overall. Some items were so-so (fish & chips, tea sandwiches, etc), others were very good (scotch egg, etc). We did have a good time though, and had fun tasting some British food we've never had before. The guys appreciated the sports channel..."

  • "We went for an annual Christmas dinner - and I think this may be our permanent spot! The drinks were potent and delightful - the Scotch & Whisky list is amazing too! Our meal was great - from Scotch eggs to the roast dinner through to dessert. We were really pleased they were open during such bad weather too!"

  • "It was nice to be able to get together around such great food (Scotched Egg was to die for!!) in a super setting with the festive ambiance. The service was courteous and friendly (bar tender was a looker!!). I highly recommend."

  • "Ce pub est pour nous, en particulier le matin, l'occasion d'aller déjeuner à Londres. Des crumpets, des œufs frits, du boudin (blood pudding) des toasts frites, tout est disponible. Le service y est toujours courtois, amical. Et le décor vous rappelle constamment que, par une magie potteresque, vous avez quitté Montréal pour vous retrouver chez Lilibeth... Le soir, c'´est le Fish ´n Chips, purée de pois... Match de soccer à la télé, fans bruyants...c'est l'Holligan en vous qui risque de se réveiller. Yes, indeed!"

  • "We were in the city for a concert and looking for a place to eat close to the venue. Burgundy Lion was recommended by several friends. I am so glad we took their advice. The food was excellent, service was friendly but not overly intrusive and the timing was perfect. I will definitely return and encourage others to do the same."

  • "What a fun, energetic place. The menu items are creative and perfectly-prepared. This place lives up to its reputation for a gem in Petite Burgogne"

  • "Nice place to have a delicious lunch. Unfortunately, sound level is high. I wasn't able to conduct a conversation with my friend. If you are with a gang for a celebration, strongly recommend. For a lunch and chat between two or three persons, perhaps it's better to go somewhere else."
    Dined on 10/4/2013
  • "I love Burgundy Lion. The place and the staff are warm, inviting, whimsical and familiar. There is a vast selection of drafts and creative cocktails, and a terrific, satisfying menu... by far the best pub food in the city. Highly recommended, day or night, early or late, any day of the week."

  • "Great place to dine at any time. Only issue was last time there was a problem with the kegs so no beer on tap and they were all out of specials and certain things on the menu. Still, it was a great dining experience as usual."

  • "I've been to the Burgundy Lion in the evening many times. On this occasion, having booked a table I was disappointed to be sat in a drafty corridor despite many tables being available in the main restaurant. The food was good, my steak frites particularly so. Service was disappointing, the waiters were polite but did only the minimum; water was not replenished and we had to ask for coffee when the bill was brought unprompted. I know you can do better BL!"
    Dined on 10/4/2013
  • "Love this restaurant for brunch. The options are fantastic and the staff are friendly, however, they are not always attentive so sometimes it took a while to get a refill of coffee/water or a request for an additional food item. If the service could be improved my rating for service would be upped from fair to good or very good."

    Dined on 9/8/2013
  • "J'ai trouvé que le burgundy lion est un endroit où le menu n'est pas renversant sur papier, mais tout de même bien exécuté... La bière en fût est offerte en plusieurs choix... Correct, rien de fine microbrasserie.. si vous avez envie de gôuter un menu semblable, les proprios ont deux restaurants (fish n brit) qui à mon avis est le même choix, pour un souper sur le pouce et moins cher... Bref connaissant le fish n'brit je m'attendais à plus du burgundy... On y va plutôt pour boire un verre et manger des bouchees d'accras.,"

  • "We had some friends in from Boston. They loved it and said the food was very good. They also loved the vibe of the neighborhood. They were staying at a hotel in old Montreal so it was super convenient as well Really good as usual. We come here all the time."

  • "The service was long, but we didn't mind as we were busy chatting. The waiter was very nice and the food pretty good.the portions are very generous. We were sitting upstairs and it was a bit loud. They have good beers, including Bierbrier."

  • "Had dinner early prior to a show nearby, the Pub was very busy and I had made a reservation for two ( good idea). The service was good, the atmosphere in the pub is fun and a happening place to relax. I imagine it stays busy later at night with a young crowd. The food was not amazing. I ordered Steak and frites, boring, under marinated and tough. needs a little marinade sauce on it or a marchand de vin. My wife had fish and chips, the batter was not great tasting and no way the fish was fresh. Nice beer, poor wine selection. I'd go back, next time try the burger."

  • "The place is very nice and the atmosphere is very good but the food could have been much better. I had the accra and the lobster pogo the taste and texture were bland...my friend had the samosa and the fish and chips and it was to his taste much better.The service was excellent our waitress was very nice and very efficient so our experience was o.k. but not excellent because of the food.The cocktails are also very good so this place is good to have drinks with your friends and a quick bite before or after a show."
