Downtown

About the restaurant

Where the old school diner and modern cocktail bar meet, Deville Dinerbar is the gathering place to indulge in American-inspired comfort food in downtown Montreal.

It’s a story of three brothers celebrating their love of the past, whose fond memories of summer road trips with mom and dad was a foodie’s ultimate adventure. With stops to various diners all along the east coast, the boys were forever hooked on its exciting cuisine and knew they had to spread their gospel of diner love to the masses.

Years later they did just that. Deville Dinerbar isn't simply an homage to diners of yesterday but a creative outlet allowing the brothers to transform dishes and drinks for today's modern tastes and trendsetting sensibilities.

I loved the decor and the vibe. It’s very quaint, trendy and classy at the same time. We finally have a restaurant in the West Island that has a beautiful bar that feels like a lounge . The service was excellent and food was so tasty! I will definitely go back to have drinks at the bar next time. I loved it!
