Restaurant Bidon

Spent 4 days in Montreal recently and this pub local to our AirBNB was my Wife & I favorite spot, great music, not too loud, great atmosphere and clientel, drinks were fantastic including the variety of micro brews and cocktails, very friendly and helpful staff. Next time we visit Montreal this place will be our first place to visit again.

Benelux has been a favourite microbrewery for me for over fifteen years. They're conveniently close to McGill. They have a nice warm ambiance and the music isn't too loud—it does not at all interfere with conversation. Best of all, their beers are delicious. I think they made me start to enjoy beer really. Their snacks are pricey but tasty. If you're a fan of olives, try those! Their hotdogs are popular—large with a crunchy bun. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Great place to meet a friend or colleague, and an ideal choice for a first date.

Benelux is one of my go to bar in Montreal. The beer is good quality and the staff is very educated on explaining each beer and their ingredients. The one which I'll recommend to try is Lux Blonde (white beer) and Placebo (Lager). Both of them taste good and have a good alcohol ratio too. A must place to add to your "places to go" if you're visiting Montréal.

One of the superior brewpubs in Montreal and the best one in the west end. Terrific enlarged beer garden on corner of Sherbrooke St. and Jeanne-Mance. The American Brown paired nicely with my Rueben Sandwich plate. I first asked for the Weizenbock but the server said that the keg had just been changed and he felt that it was not up to standard. Without my asking, he brought me a taster of it and I thought it was fine. But they are sticklers for quality here. Over the years, the beer quality and range has just better and better. I took a can of Saison to go to watch a soccer game. Also, top quality. This is a required stop for any brewpub traveler and I make sure I am on its terrace every month during our fine summer season.
