    Bar George is located in a historic building in downtown Montreal. The food, service and ambiance were impeccable. We went for brunch and were excited to taste several of the French inspired offerings that were available to us. I had a delicious French lobster omelette, potatoes and frogs legs on the side. My wife had a breakfast pastry platter with a scrambled egg on the side. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were totally satisfied with our meal which was wonderful. I highly recommend Bar George.

    Absolutely wonderful all around. Food and ambience were incredible. Had an early res with our toddler daughter who was extremely fussy. The staff was so kind and accommodating, especially our waiter. I did not get his name but he was fantastic. My wife and I plan to come back to Montreal for a weekend alone and will absolutely be back for a date night. Highly recommend.
