    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.

    One of the best experiences all around in a restaurant. The food was excellent, the service even better. The moment we finished a plate it was cleared and the next was brought over. The team at Garde Manger really knows how to impress!
