We went for an early family dinner the week before Christmas while visiting Montreal, and this restaurant felt like a 90s pop culture dream. The atmosphere was elevated, with many fun and thoughtful nods to nostalgic 90s classics, including the playlist. This was our first experience at a Hawaiian and Thai fusion restaurant, and we were delighted by the menu. Our waitress was very helpful, providing descriptions and making great recommendations. The Imperial Roll was outstanding, and the crispy wings were a favorite among us. Everyone loved their respective entrees, with the Pork Belly, Short Rib, and Green Curry standing out as some of our top choices. The cocktails were delicious and served in cute glasses. Although we didn’t stay for dessert, we have no doubt it would have been great. Overall, The Farsides was a culinary highlight of our trip to Montreal. We highly recommend it and hope to return!

I really like this place. I’m disappointed that took approximately an hour for our food to come out. Other folks arrived after we did and had their meals served to them. The service was…OK. Perhaps the waitress is new. She was very friendly! If you like 80s, 90s hip hop like I do then you’ll have a great time!

I will never understand why in Montreal when a restaurant is empty they seat a couple at a tiny table when there are multiple tables available. They seated us at a tiny round table. We were constantly having to shuffle plates. The food and service was awesome. Great flavours I highly recommend the pad Thai! The cocktails were a disappointment, the mojito was all spice, no mint and very very dry almost sour. The noise level was excessive my watch tagged it around the 90decibels which is great if it was a friday night when the place was rocking but on a Sunday when there were only 2 couples in the place was very excessive.

We made a reservation that was somehow not recorded? The first drink I ordered was unable to be made because the simple syrup “smelled bad” so I made a new selection. The skewers were salty and dry, the short ribs while tender were super sweet and salty. The poor server was running her butt off trying to help all guests while the hostess stood around watching. She could have helped her clear tables or help run food. Vibe was cool though

I came to this establishment with 10 people and we were forced to do the group menu. The food was not enough for the amount of people eating and when we asked why we don’t have enough food they literally said they were short staffed. Everyone and all the reviews showed this place to be amazing. We were all disappointed as we ate at places like Weinstein and Gavinos, in addition to Gibbys. I would not recommend if your taking a large group.

Great food and flavours. Servers work hard to sell you other plates and when you get your portions you see why. Could use a downward adjustment in price or increase quantity. Otherwise very tasty.

While the ambiance and decor were on point.... the food was a miss. The rice was dry, whether it's because it was undercooked or left over rice heated, the flavors were not memorable nor well executed. The same flavors without the plating and decor, would be considered bad "Chinese take out". Wine and cocktail list were good.

Our first visit will nopt be the last. The Farsides ambiance is great and the vintage 1980s memorabilia is pushed to the extreme with breathtaking / colorful murals. The food choices and execution is perfect : every single plate was an event in itself.
